I need to display the newly generated excel (from tables using Apache POI) in a web browser (whatever it is, Firefox, Opera or IE). I've created the JSP file with
contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel"
But I'm not getting it.
Here's my code snippet :
<%@page session="true" contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@page import="org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.CellStyle"%>
<%@page import="java.sql.DriverManager"%>
<%@page import="java.sql.ResultSet"%>
<%@page import="java.sql.Statement"%>
<%@page import="java.sql.Connection"%>
<%@page import="org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.CreationHelper"%>
<%@page import="org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFCell"%>
<%@page import="org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFRow"%>
<%@page import="org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFWorkbook"%>
<%@page import="org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFSheet"%>
<html>

int r=0;
HSSFWorkbook book;
HSSFSheet sheet;
HSSFRow row;
CreationHelper createHelper = book.getCreationHelper();

book = new HSSFWorkbook();
sheet = book.createSheet("Report");

Did I miss something or anything wrong? Can anybody help me to get rid of this problem?
Thanx in advance.

Select the file in OneDrive or SharePoint. Select the More icon. , then select Open. Select Open in (app) (such as Open in Word).
With Excel for the web running in your web browser, you can: Share your workbook with others and collaborate on the same file at the same time. Add tables and charts to make your data visual. Create a survey.
The way you are trying to do it doesn't make any sense. You can't mix HTML with Excel like that. Better create a servlet instead of a JSP page and let this servlet output only the Excel file and nothing else.
Something like this:
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFWorkbook;
// ... plus all the other libs you need
public class ExcelServlet extends HttpServlet {
public void doGet (HttpServletRequest req,
HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
HSSFWorkbook book;
// ...
// fill the book
// ...
res.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
book.write(res.getOutputStream());
res.getOutputStream().close();
}
}
HSSFWorkbook book;
HSSFSheet sheet;
HSSFRow row;
CreationHelper createHelper = book.getCreationHelper();
You are using the book object before initializing it.

I'd recommend not doing it this way.
Scriptlet code in JSPs is simply wrong.
Putting database access in a page like this isn't good, either.
A better approach would be Spring MVC and its JExcelView.
