Anytime you point your browser to http://whatever.file.xls, it will invoke Excel and display whatever is contained in the file within the browser window.

All you have to do is set the MIME type in the setContentType() declaration in the servlet delivering the output to "application/vnd.msExcel" and the browser will automatically display the output in an Excel spreadsheet.

Excel is VBA. They don't like each other. One good way is to expose your Java (Form) beans via SOAP. Then in Excel (using Pocket Soap client for example) write a VBA macro that gets the SOAP XML data. You will need to add SOAP interface to you web app server. SOAP is good for most distributed or diverse applications and good for hetrogenous enviroments.
