if someone more needs it I could solve it by myself.

 

I just create a servlet and in its post method after i just compiled, filled and run, the report i did:

OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();

File xls = new File(fileName);

InputStream in = new FileInputStream(xls);

HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook(in);

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

wb.write(out);

out.flush();

 

it woks very goog but I don't know if there be a better form to do it, if there is it please notify me.

 

Thanks,

 

Viviana

JasperReports provides a few servlet implementations for viewing reports exported to PDF, RTF or XLS. You can find these servlets in the net.sf.jasperreports.j2ee.servlets package.
