I personally use display tag (http://displaytag.sourceforge.ne) which
has fine excel, csv and pdf export mechanism. It all depends on what
you are trying to 'export'.
Both of these tools use Apache POI <http://poi.apache.org/> as an
underlying Excel format generator. I wouldn't use Jasper as an Excel
generator, unless I were already using or intended to use Jasper as a
reporting engine. Display tag is only applicable, in this case, if
you need tabular data within a JSP along with an option to export in
Excel format.
POI is fairly easy to use, I've found, but it does have some memory
related problems associated with very large excel files.
