That is a fair comment.
I am also vaguely aware of this behavior in IE.
But I thought setting the content type explicitly overrode this behavior.

Anyhow, as to using a servlet v/s a JSP, again comes down to container
implementations. The request and response objects, even though should be the
same classes, could be of different types in servlets and JSPs as long as
they implement the HTTPServletRequest and HTTPServletResponse interfaces
respectively.
Maybe in your container, they are different implementations to support some
vendor extension. (MAYBE!! Could easily be some other more trivial reason).

As I said, your JSP worked fine when I ran it on my side (Websphere).

(Totally off the top of my head)

could your browser have been making dodgy guesses at the filetype? I
know I had a situation (in ASP) where naming my script 'renderjpeg.aspx'
didn't work - correct MIME type notwithstanding - but
'renderjpeg.jpg.aspx' worked fine.

So maybe you could've tried naming the JSP '.xls.jsp...'

What I experienced was documented dodgy behaviour in IE, though I don't
have the link for it right now.

fine.Anyway,i don't see why it didn't work with the JSP.

Thanks guys.

I copy-posted your code and ran it, it worked fine.
Try setting the content length. Maybe your server is not setting the
content length header, or something on those lines.

Try doing this for all cells and see if this works.
I am not sure if this will fix your problem though. But try it.

cell1_New.setCellType(HSSFCell.CELL_TYPE_STRING);

It seems it didn't refresh properly.Hence i saw some binary data showing
up on the browser window.I tried closing the browser and opened a new
instance. Now,it opens up an Excel but some junk is being shown inside
the excel. 

thanks,

Could you explain what you mean by "It is showing the output on the
browser itself."?

Hi Siddharth,
  Thanks for your quick response.I've tried that too.It is showing the
output on the browser itself.Here is my sample jsp page.

<%@ page import = "java.util.*, java.text.*,
javax.servlet.http.*,org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.*" %> <%
		response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
		
		HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook();
		HSSFSheet sheet_New = wb.createSheet("New Contacts");

		HSSFSheet sheet_Mod = wb.createSheet("Modified
Contacts");
		HSSFSheet sheet_Del = wb.createSheet("Deeleted
Contacts");
	
		
		HSSFRow header_New = sheet_New.createRow((short)0);
		HSSFRow header_Mod = sheet_Mod.createRow((short)0);
		HSSFRow header_Del = sheet_Del.createRow((short)0);

	
		HSSFCell cell1_New = header_New.createCell((short)0);
		HSSFCell cell2_New = header_New.createCell((short)1);
		HSSFCell cell3_New = header_New.createCell((short)2);
		HSSFCell cell4_New = header_New.createCell((short)3);
		
		cell1_New.setCellValue("First_Name");		
		cell2_New.setCellValue("Last_Name");		
		cell3_New.setCellValue("Middle_Name");		
		cell4_New.setCellValue("Suffix_Name");		
		
		
		HSSFCell cell1_Mod = header_Mod.createCell((short)0);
		HSSFCell cell2_Mod = header_Mod.createCell((short)1);
		HSSFCell cell3_Mod = header_Mod.createCell((short)2);
		HSSFCell cell4_Mod = header_Mod.createCell((short)3);
		
		cell1_Mod.setCellValue("Suffix");		
		cell2_Mod.setCellValue("Last_Name");		
		cell3_Mod.setCellValue("Middle_Name");		
		cell4_Mod.setCellValue("Suffix_Name");		
		
		
		HSSFCell cell1_Del = header_Del.createCell((short)0);
		HSSFCell cell2_Del = header_Del.createCell((short)1);
		HSSFCell cell3_Del = header_Del.createCell((short)2);
		HSSFCell cell4_Del = header_Del.createCell((short)3);
		
		cell1_Del.setCellValue("Deal_Name");		
		cell2_Del.setCellValue("PAM_Name");		
		cell3_Del.setCellValue("Middle_Name");		
		cell4_Del.setCellValue("Suffix_Name");	
				    
		wb.write(response.getOutputStream());
		

%>
 
Let me know if you have any other suggestions.

thanks,
-Aparna.

response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
hssfWorkbook.write(response.getOutputStream);

where 
response is an instance of HTTPServletResponse
hssfWorkbook is the workbook you just created. An instance of
HSSFWorkbook

Hi Folks,
  I'd like to know if we can open a HSSF workbook in Excel without
creating a physical file on the filesystem.I tried writing the workbook
directly to the OutputStream of my JSP.But it doesn't work.

Post me if you have turn around to this.

Appreciate your response.

regards,
-Aparna.
