Probably I stated my question incorrectly. This is what I'm trying to do:
1. Based on user query, read data from the database [Done]
2. Create an excel workbook from the data [Done, using the Apache POI]
3. Display the excel workbook in the user web browser. [I'm not able to achieve this]
I need help for step 3.
Thanks a lot,

Subject: Re: FileUpload using myfaces
Jira issue MYFACES-446 deals exactly with this.
Sylvain is absolutely right. The only solution would be to rewrite
current web browsers, which might be diffcult :-)
I think we could close this issue.
