How to popup excel file in the IE(2)?

[Vincent]

Hi ,

Now I can open the excel file by ie , but I found it will not pop-up a
new page to display the result(actually it use the currently page , so
the previous information on the page was lost), am I missing
something?

<code>
        response.setHeader("Expires", "0");
                        response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "must-revalidate,
post-check=0,pre-check=0");
                        response.setHeader("Pragma", "public");
                        response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "inline;
filename=ExportTempFile.xls");
                        // setting the content type
                        response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
                        ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();

                        byte[] buffer = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE];
                        ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new 
ByteArrayOutputStream();
                        int length = inputStream.read(buffer);
                        while(length != -1) {
                                baos.write(buffer);
                                length = inputStream.read(buffer);
                        }
                        
                        baos.writeTo(out);
                        baos.close();
                        out.close();
</code>

in web.xml
add the following
        <mime-mapping>
                <extension>xls</extension>
                <mime-type>application/msexcel</mime-type>
        </mime-mapping>
