problem with xls output

2003-02-19 04:30

hi!

i wrote a servlet which exports the report into xls format.From my servlet iam redirecting to the generated xls file using response.sendRedirect("a.xls").but iam getting junk characters on the browser..Browser is not opening the report in xls format...what may be the reason...

 

response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel")

my browser is IE5.0

Mine worked to IE 6.0 with:

 

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

response.setContentLength(bytes.length);

ServletOutputStream ouputStream = response.getOutputStream();

ouputStream.write(bytes, 0, bytes.length);

ouputStream.flush();

ouputStream.close();
