We stream to the browser directly. And yes I do set the content type. But no dialog boxes, since my browser is IE. Which browser are you guys using?
Well, I 'solved' the problem by doing two things (I should beat myself with a bat): 1. removed the setContentLength() call. 2. flushed the response stream -----Original Message----- From: Hamu, Dave [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2004 3:04 PM To: POI Users List Subject: RE: Content length issue We have the identical platform and we do not set the length and we do not see the error that you reported. I was curious if you download to the user or if you stream to the browser? If you download to the user by setting the content type, do you get one or two download dialogs? We get two and it's really baffling. Perhaps someone has seen this problem and knows how to resolve it.

My application server is Websphere. On AIX, it throws a com.ibm.servlet.engine.srt.WriteBeyondContentLengthException I have set the content length in the following manner: response.setContentLength(wb.getWrappedWorkbook().getBytes().length); where getWrappedWorkbook() returns the wrapped instance of HSSFWorkbook. In WSAD, it works fine only if I do not set the content length (at all). If I do, it fails. On AIX, it does not work even if I remove the setContentLength() call altogether. Has anyone since this problem? It may turn out to be Websphere related so I apologize for the cross-posting in advance. -Sid --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
