Problem: IE not recognizing Excel data generated by cocoon as being an Excel spreadsheet.
1) This is due to a bug in HSSFSerializer.java, where the mime-type is hardcoded as "vnd.ms-excel" (the correct mime-type for Excel is "application/vnd.ms-excel"). Once this is fixed it works fine with IE/Excel so the problem is not due to a bug in IE. 2) HSSFSerializer.java ignores any mime-type configured in the sitemap. This is reasonable because there is only one correct value so it may as well be hardcoded. Unfortunately the example sitemap includes this mime-type configuration and this has misled many innocent folk into thinking that they are using the correct mime-type when they are not. ref to previous discussion on this: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-users&m=103895523032418&w=2 Subject: Re: HSSFSerializer mime-type Date: 2002-12-03 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faq/index.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
