How will I save my JSP Page into MS Excel ?

Hello,

I would like to save my JSP Page into MS Excel, I've tried using the tips I've read in the forum. (pls see below)

<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %>


However, I still can't open my Excel in my browser (IExplorer). Do I need to download a driver for this? or a Tag Library?

Thanks.

Your JSP has file extension   .jsp    .
Do you want the browser to think that is .csv   ?  
If you do, then you can map it in your context's  web.xml  .  

 <servlet>
        <servlet-name>myJSP</servlet-name>
        <jsp-file>myPage.jsp</jsp-file>
    </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>myJSP</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/myExcelPage.csv</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
I forgot a  leading  /  

<servlet>
        <servlet-name>myJSP</servlet-name>
        <jsp-file>/myPage.jsp</jsp-file>
    </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>myJSP</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/myExcelPage.csv</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>    

You could   instead  map to  myExcelPage.xls

Hello guys,

I'm currently working also on this stuff. I need to save the data in my JSP Page into Excel. I took some sample scripts from the forum (pls see below).

<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD>2</TD><!--- Cell : A1 --->
<TD>4</TD><!--- Cell : B1 --->
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>5</TD><!--- Cell : A2 --->
<TD>6</TD><!--- Cell : B2 --->
</TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>

I saved this into .jsp file and run it at IExplorer. However, it still won't run/open in excel. It still would open in a normal page. What is possibly wrong with this? Can anyone give me a step-by-step instruction on how to do this? Do I need to download something or configure something? I'm using JBoss as my AppServer. Is there a required IExplorer version on this?
Well that code opens the excel on my browser so it must be some wrong configuration on your system.

I really don't know what is wrong. My PC runs at Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4, and Internet Explorer 6.0 as my browser. Do I need to set/enable something on my browser to open/access Excel? Or is there a configuration that I need to do on my PC (ie. Control Panel). Or are there any Tag Libraries for this? Please give me some clarifications on this matter.
Reinstall your excel and try again!
Wich excel version you have installed?

Javier,

I also suspect this has something to do with my Excel version. Anyway my Excel Version is -- Microsoft Excel 2000 (9.0.3821 SR-1). Please give me some light on this problem.
Well what does exactly when you run the jsp, it opens you a file download dialog?

Not at all. It will open as a normal page at the browser.
Wich server are you using?
if it opens you the file as an HTML maybe a problem of your server conf. I suppose that you can run others JSP right?

My application server is JBoss 3.2.2. Does it matter? It's just a plain JSP.
Well is just a guess, do you use tomcat or apache as a web server?
it looks like is not recognizing the JSP as a jsp file, you can try to make a servlet and run it as a servlet.

Yes our web server is tomcat incorporated thru JBoss. But I have JSP (.jsp) files with Struts framework.

guys,

can you give me your settings of your PC, IExplorer, Excel, Web Server, Application Server, and all other configurations which you think can affect and could be the reason why my JSP application won't run.

thanks.
Can you post here your Tomcat web.xml wich is in TOMCATDIR/conf/ ?

I may be way off base here ( please tell me if I am )  but
Have you added excel to your pc's  OS  ?   See  Windows Explorer  |  "Folder Options" |  "File Types"

javier,

Did I post the correct file? I've been dwelling on adding .xls on mime mapping. Do I need to do that? What should I add at my .xml file?

javier,

I think I posted the wrong web.xml file. Anyway would you mind to check if the web.xml below (scripts) is correct? My version for J2EE is 1.3.1. I added some tags for my JSP-to-Excel Page. I didnt make a servlet which you recommended before. However, still there was an error which states like:-->   ERROR [Digester] Parse error at line 83 column 11: The content of element type "web-app" must match.....

Could you help me on this.

Thanks

> The content of element type "web-app" must match.....
Must match the DTD  I  presume.    
The following was taken from Servlet 2.3   specification.

The DTD that follows defines the XML grammar for a web application deployment
descriptor.
<!--
The web-app element is the root of the deployment descriptor for
a web application.
-->
<!ELEMENT web-app (icon?, display-name?, description?,
distributable?, context-param*, filter*, filter-mapping*,
listener*, servlet*, servlet-mapping*, session-config?, mimemapping*,
welcome-file-list?, error-page*, taglib*, resourceenv-
ref*, resource-ref*, security-constraint*, login-config?,
security-role*, env-entry*, ejb-ref*, ejb-local-ref*)>  

You have the order wrong.  
First put  both <servlet>  tags.
Then put both  <servlet-mapping>   tags.    
This is not a requirement for Servlet 2.4

I tried to re-arrange the order of my web.xml, and the error no only occurred at my log. Thanks for your help. However, my JSP page still won't display in Excel File using the

<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %>

Any idea?

maccoy
Instead of this:

<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD>2</TD><!--- Cell : A1 --->
<TD>4</TD><!--- Cell : B1 --->
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>5</TD><!--- Cell : A2 --->
<TD>6</TD><!--- Cell : B2 --->
</TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>


Just try this:

<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %>
2      4
5      6

Javier,

Thanks but still it won't open as Excel at my browser. It will open as an ordinary page. Mind giving me a sample of your web.xml. Does this have to do something with my web-app dtd version? If you have a servlet, please give me some hints or samples too.

Thanks
Let me check if it works with tomcat 5 here,I'll get back to you in a sec.
Javier
OK I've installed tomcat 5.0.19 and now it does not open me excel either, it opens me the download dialog, is that what happens to to too?
If soy I'll try to solve it here and get back with the answer ok?

Javier,

Yes your exactly right! If I'll open the JSP file with Internet Explorer, a download dialog box would open. I don't know if I'm correct, but my Application/Web Server(JBoss 3.2.2) has nothing to do, because even if I shut it down, the problem is still the same. Again I don't know what exactly causes this one. By the way I'm also using struts framework on this.

Thanks for your reply.

maccoy

You have tomcat 5.0.19 right?
this worked on mine:
<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %>
2      4
5      6
and this too:
<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD>2</TD><!--- Cell : A1 --->
<TD>4</TD><!--- Cell : B1 --->
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>5</TD><!--- Cell : A2 --->
<TD>6</TD><!--- Cell : B2 --->
</TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>

In different ways but both opened excel into the browser.

Here you have the web.xml check if there is something different on yours.

>Any idea?
Did you try my first idea ? (see first and second post above)  
Did you try a different browser ?

Javier, which version of IE browser are you using ?
 rrz
IE 5.5
Sorry, now I see the mapping  in your last night's  post.   rrz

Javier,

Sorry I wasn't in the office already when you replied last night. Anyway, my Tomcat version is -- Apache Tomcat/4.1.24-LE-jdk14. I checked your web.xml, and I found some slight differences. I don't know if this is a factor/probable cause. I'll try to do some changes in my web.xml and let you know later how it affects my JSP. Finally, you said your code (above) would result to excel opened at your browser, does it run only if you server is up? Does this have something to do also with my web server that resides in an application server -- in my case JBoss 3.2.2 ?

Well is soppose to be some differences on the web.xml the one I posted was from the new installation I made and is tomcat 5.0.19 I thought that was teh version you had, here is my web.xml on my tomcat 4.0 wich works too.

guys,

I'm sorry I wasn't able to close this case. Honestly, I haven't solve my problem yet. But I'm thankful to everyone for your ideas and efforts. Your ideas are all great and are useful. As for now, I stop with my project - on saving JSP page to excel, I shall continue it later. I didn't close this because maybe new ideas would come.

My apologies.

Is ok maccoy but next time yo want to keep a question open post a message and no one will try to close it.

:c))
