Displaying XL in browser
Hello All,
I wish to display an Excel in browser. I am using struts framework.
Thus,in Action I have returned an ActionForward to a servlet that displays
the Excel.
The problem am facing is-.> If I try to open more than 1 Excel from the
website,it gives the error that cannot open more than one file with the same
name -since the servlet name becomes the name of the Excel.
What is the alternative to show more than 1 Excel?????????

Hi,
you could try to use
response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=filename");
and set the "filename" dynamically.
Ta Ta For Now,

Just off the top of my head here, I'd try having a servlet mapping
that looks like this:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>ExcelServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/excel/*.xls</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Then, in your links to the servlet, use a randomly generated string
for the '*' part. Your browser will see this as a different name each
time.
Since you're using a Struts Forward for this, you'll have to do a bit
of extra stuff to change the path on the forward, but that's not too
hard. Have a look at the Javadocs. The only thing you *can't* do is
modify a forward that's set up in the configuration file. But you can
easily create a copy of that and modify the path property.
