I m writing a web application in J2EE. When my users click on a particular link, I write &nbsp;a csv file and it will be downloaded on the client's machine. I want the file to open up in MS Excel automatically after download instead of prompting the user to choose an application. What MIME type do I need to set in this case? I am setting the following<br />
response.setContentType(&quot;t<wbr />ext/csv&quot;);<wbr /><br />
response.setHeader(&quot;Conten<wbr />t-Disposit<wbr />ion&quot;,&quot;test<wbr />.csv&quot;);

Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) is a specification defining a collection of Java-based server and client technologies and how they interoperate. Java EE specifies server and client architectures and uses profiles to define technology sets targeted at specific classes of applications. All Java EE profiles share a set of common features, such as naming and resource injection, packaging rules and security requirements.

Java EE

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.

Java

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.
