Re: Tag Lib for Excel?

[Matt DeCapua]

Yea, we have too.   I am a servlet guy, and don't know how to make it work in a tag library (which is why I am on this list!), but this is how it works in a servlet:       response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");     PrintWriter oute = new PrintWriter(response.getWriter());     response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=m$spread_spreadsheet.xls"); The stream is comma separated.  - although it would be cool if it could be styled to take an xml format.   I hope that helps someone who will be able to create a tag lib for all of us!   matt >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/01/01 11:45AM >>> Well, Excel (and most other spreadsheets) support comma separated values (CSV) files. While that wouldn't support embeded graphics or anything, you can generate graphics from a CSV once it's imported into a spreadsheet. I've done this before with Servlets and our own framework. Just a thought.
