Excel Mime problem

hi there,

iam using tomcat 5 version..i  have a requirement
where my jsp will generate a excel sheet and places in the server 
directory..
but the problem is when i open the excel thru a java script from a browser 
window,i actually get the 
excel in text format on the browser itself..

i tested the same excel sheet using a static html page,it opens in excel 
format within the 
browser.

are theere any specific mime type settings to be set..i already tried with
application/vnd.ms-excel

any help is appreciated

TIA
