Excel content type issue
|
|
| mailjosephpv 2004-03-16, 8:35 am |
| Hi all,
I am using websphere 5.0.1 as our app server.
I am developing a simple report page which has to be displayed in excel.
I have set the content-type of the JSP page to "application/vnd.ms-excel". The code was working good in Tomcat.
When we moved to websphere, i get either of these
-could not open url "http://.....".
-"File Download" dialog box
Internet Explorer cannot download...
my.jsp
<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel"%>.
I tried the following :
1. Setting the mime type for xls in web.xml
2. Adding an entry for the mime type of xls in the virtual host-default (thru console)
mapping application/vnd.ms-excel with xls
3.Also tried adding a mime type entry in java/jre/lib/content-types.properties .
Any help ASAP would be appreciated.
Thanks
Joe

Are you requesting this URL directly from WebSphere or through an Http
Server? You may need to change/add the mime-type in the Http Server.
Are you sure that the response has your mimetype? or something different?
This could also be a browser-side issue, btw. If you go ahead and do the
download, do you get a real xls file? Or something corrupted?
