And I highly recommend first doing:
response.reset();
if you are using HTTPS.

Also, you will want to set some headers too:
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=\"" + fileName
+ "\"");
This will prompt the person to download the file (basically automates the
save as). I just finished doing the same thing for a project and we wanted
to remove the confusion about what to save and what the file name was, etc.

Make a servlet call, then set the response content type as
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
and then write the contents of the excel spreedsheet the the reponse output
stream. If you have a hyperlink on a jsp page that has an href like this:
http://localhost/context/do-export-mapping
then by setting the content type above will cause excel to open
automatically.

Re: How To Render Binary Output - spreadsheet - from Struts
Thanks Dan. Problem is though, sometimes my clients want their Excel spreadsheets. If you have any advise on how to output a binary stream from JSP - such as that which would be produced by POI - I would be grateful to hear it. The User Guide ( 3.4.4 Image Rendering Components ) provides some guidance on rendering binary images: "Render a hyperlink with a URL that executes a servlet request. The servlet will use a graphics library to render the graphical image ...". I am afraid I am missing the boat here, if they are talking about rendering 'on the fly'. regards, Doug Reames From: "Dan Tran" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: How To Render Binary Output - spreadsheet - from Struts Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2003 11:40:39 -0700 use display tag, it can do it for you transparently http://edhill.its.uiowa.edu/display/ -Dan - Original Message - From: "douglas reames" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 11:24 AM Subject: How To Render Binary Output - spreadsheet - from Struts > I need to render a POI constructed spreadsheet on the fly. > > With Struts I can: > [1] [ Action / Business Bean ] dynamically design - based on user's > selections, > [2] [ JSP ] construct a java file, > [3] [ JSP ] compile the java file. > [4] [ JSP ] execute the class file > > Will JSP output a Byte Array to the Response output stream? > > regards, > Douglas Reames > > _ > Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
