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.
