Hi i am calling a servlet using JQuery and my servlets create an excel file at runtime and provides the option for the user to open save or cancel the file created
JQuery code is $.post("../reports/BillIDPropIDExcelExport",{csvstring: $ ("#vname1").val(),count:$("#vname2").val(),propType:$("#vname3").val (),instValue:$("#vname4").val()},function(data){ alert(data);document.body.style.cursor="default"; }); and my servlets that creates the file at runtime is try { HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook(); HSSFSheet sheet = wb.createSheet("Customer Details Connection Fee"); HSSFDataFormat format = wb.createDataFormat(); HSSFCellStyle cstyle; cstyle = wb.createCellStyle(); cstyle.setDataFormat(format.getFormat("#,###,###.00")); HSSFRow row = sheet.createRow((short)0); HSSFCell c0=row.createCell((short)0); HSSFCell c1=row.createCell((short)1); HSSFCell c2=row.createCell((short)2); c0.setCellValue("CHAR_PREM_ID"); c1.setCellValue("SA_TYPE_CD"); c2.setCellValue("UOM_CD"); c0.setCellStyle(style); c1.setCellStyle(style); c2.setCellStyle(style); String acplotnumber="",finalcsvstring="",finalacplotnumber1=""; String csvstring=request.getParameter("csvstring"); System.out.println(csvstring); String count=request.getParameter("count"); System.out.println(count); String instValue1=request.getParameter("instValue"); String propType1=request.getParameter("propType"); if(propType1.length()==4) propType="'CONBASE','CONGROW'"; else propType="'"+propType1+"'"; d= new OracleDatabaseConnectionPROD(); connection=d.connect(); //System.out.println("OracleDatabaseConnectionPROD"); stmt = connection.createStatement(); connection.setAutoCommit(false); { rs=stmt.executeQuery("SELECT A.CHAR_PREM_ID, SA_TYPE_CD, F.UOM_CD, C.BILL_ID, SUM(CALC_AMT) as CALC_AMOUNT from Customers"); while(rs.next()) { String CHAR_PREM_ID=rs.getString(1); String SA_TYPE_CD=rs.getString(2); String UOM_CD=rs.getString(3); String BILL_ID=rs.getString(4); float CALC_AMOUNT=rs.getFloat(5); HSSFCellStyle style1 = wb.createCellStyle(); HSSFFont font1 = wb.createFont(); font1.setFontHeightInPoints((short)8); style1.setFont(font1); row = sheet.createRow((short)j); // bold HSSFCell cell0 =row.createCell((short)0); HSSFCell cell1 =row.createCell((short)1); HSSFCell cell2 =row.createCell((short)2); cell0.setCellValue(CHAR_PREM_ID); cell1.setCellValue(SA_TYPE_CD); cell2.setCellValue(UOM_CD); cell0.setCellStyle(style1); cell1.setCellStyle(style1); j++; } //FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream(fname +"ExtractBillID"+dateFormat+".xls"); //wb.write(fileOut); //fileOut.close(); String filename="ExtractBillID"+dateFormat+".xls"; String contentType = getServletContext().getMimeType(filename); System.out.println(contentType); BufferedInputStream in = null; try { // in = new BufferedInputStream(getServletContext ().getResourceAsStream(fname+filename)); response.setContentType(contentType); response.setHeader("Content-Disposition"," inline; filename=" + filename); ServletOutputStream sout = response.getOutputStream(); wb.write(sout); byte[] buffer = new byte[4 * 1024]; // int data; // while((data = in.read(buffer)) != -1) // { // sout.write(buffer, 0, data); // } sout.flush(); } catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); return; } finally { try { // in.close(); } catch(Exception ee) { ee.printStackTrace(); } } connection.close(); } catch(Exception e) { //out.println("Error"+e.toString()); e.printStackTrace(); } } catch(Exception e) { //out.println("Error"+e.toString()); e.printStackTrace(); } finally { //out.println("The Excel File Created Saved At P:\\DATA_LOAD As ExtractBillID"+dateFormat); } } When i directly access the url i can get the open save an dcancel option and the servlet runs properly but when i am calling via jquery the open save and cancel option is not comming can anybody suggest me how do i do this please
