(the <mime-types> section of your web.xml will need an additional entry)

Could be caching issue. Try clearing your browser cache and try again.

I tried this on Tomcat 5.0.28. With Internet Explorer I had to clear
the browser cache before it would work. (With Firefox it worked with
or without the mime-mapping. Firefox must be finding the program based
on the file extension.)

Re: href to .xls file shows raw file
Posted by alla winter <al...@gmail.com>.
I added to web.xml ( on both, server level and application level) the
following clause
<mime-mapping>
<extension>xls</extension>
<mime-type>application/vnd.ms-excel</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
and then restarted the server, but still got the same result
Am I using the right set up?
thanks

Specifically,
<mime-mapping>
<extension>xls</extension>
<mime-type>application/vnd.ms-excel</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
In later versions of Tomcat, the default configuration has this mapping.

in the web.xml of your webapplication, you should properly define the
contentype for .xls files.

You need a mime type mapping in your web xml, like:
