Error when opening exported Excel document

hi,
i'm using the following to let the user export JSP to Excel file:
response.setContentType("application/download ");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=test.xls");
problem happens only for the first when i try to open the file in excel.
Excel gives me " 'test.xls[1]' could not be found. Check the spelling of the file name, and verify that the file location is correct. ...."
Subsequent tries work fine with no problem.
i noticed that Excel is trying to open a file with a different name, appending [1], which obviosuly doesn't find in its first try.
i would appreciate any kind of clue.
thank you.

I got this from a different post on this forum.
Basically, on your JSP page which you want to export to Excel, set the content type and header as below. Then the browser(Internet Explorer) will try to open the excel document in itself.
<%
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=" + "test.xls" );
%>
<HTML>
<head>
<title>Excel Compatible HTML</title>
<style type="text/css">
td.currencyCustom { mso-number-format:"$#,##0.00_);[Red]($#,##0.00)"; text-align: right; }
td.currencyDefault { mso-number-format:"Currency"; text-align: right; }
td.integer { mso-number-format:"#,##0_);[Red](#,##0)"; text-align: right; }
td.percent { mso-number-format:"%0.00"; text-align: right; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table summary="Excel formats supported" width="500">
<tr><td colspan="2"><h1>Excel Compatible HTML</h1></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2"><p>This is a simple demo of how HTML tables can be extended
by using CSS styles recognized by Excel 2000. I haven't yet
been able to find any documentation on these styles. Most of this was
derived by saving a simple spreadsheet using the <i>Save as Web Page ...</i>
option then experimenting with formats using the <code>mso-number-format</code>
CSS attribute.</p>
<p>Excel will convert unformatted numbers to the specified style so formatting
them isn't required if the output is only to be used by Excel. Otherwise, they
should be formatted to display correctly in browsers.</p>

Currently, i'm trying a different approach.
I'm using POI from jakarta site to create Excel file manually.
here's a snippet of my code in my web request handler that creates an Excel file.
String exportType =(String) request.getParameter("export_type");
if(exportType!=null && exportType.equals(WebConstants.EXPORT_TYPE_MS_EXCEL))
HSSFWorkbook workbook = new HSSFWorkbook();
HSSFSheet sheet = workbook.createSheet("Test Sheet");
HSSFCell cell = null;
HSSFCellStyle cellStyle = workbook.createCellStyle();
HSSFFont font = workbook.createFont();
font.setColor((short)0xc);
font.setBoldweight(HSSFFont.BOLDWEIGHT_BOLD);
cellStyle.setFont(font);
HSSFRow titleRow = sheet.createRow((short)0);
cell = titleRow.createCell((short)0);
cell.setCellValue("Order ID");
cell.setCellStyle(cellStyle);
cell = titleRow.createCell((short)1);
cell.setCellValue("Order Time");
cell.setCellStyle(cellStyle);
for(short i=0; i<blotterModelList.size(); i++)
BlotterModel model = (BlotterModel)blotterModelList.get(i);
HSSFRow row = sheet.createRow((short)(i+1));
row.createCell((short)0).setCellValue(model.getOrderId());
row.createCell((short)1).setCellValue(model.getOrderTime());
ServletOutputStream stream = response.getOutputStream();
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
workbook.write(stream);
stream.flush();
stream.close();
Sir: I am having touble with my excel exporting.
Could you show me what you are doing and I can go to
school on it? Thanks!

Bug : Invalid file extension error when opening exported excel

Hi All,
In one of my jsff page, i have implemented 'exportToExcel' functionality through a exportcollectionactionlistener on a table to export its data to excel. When i try opening the generated excel, i get the following warning in excel 2007 :
"The file you are trying to open, 'Export.xls,' is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?" - When I clicked YES to the message, the exported excel opened and data is present.
How can i get rid of this warning message, because it is annoying for any user to click YES every time the excel is opened ? I am using jdev version 11.1.1.6.0 This is my code :
<af:commandToolbarButton text="Export to Excel" id="cb1">
<af:exportCollectionActionListener exportedId="t1"
                           type="excelHTML"
                           filename="Export.xls"
                           title="Excel export"/>
</af:commandToolbarButton>I found a similar forum post here File format of exportCollectionActionListener ADF 11g But they are suggesting a registry fix which is not possible in production environment.
Any possible workaround or suggestions to resolve this issue is much appreciated.
Thanks

You can save the data on the client and the check the data.
Have you considered using POI to generate real xsl workbook files?

"Last modified" attribute changes when opening a Excel-document

Hi
We are running Server 2008 R2 as terminal servers and fileserver.
When opening an Excel document stored on the fileserver so changes "date modified" at the opening regardless if you save the document or not. This is a problem for users who want to keep track of when the document has been changed "for real".
Now, "last modified" changes when the document was last read instead, this confuse the users...
If we test the same procedure on our older terminal server environment, Server 2003 or on our clients (Windows 7) it works how we wanted. The "last modified" only changes when you save the document, and not when you are opening it. Office
2007 is installed on both our new terminal server environment (Server 2008 R2) and the old one (Server 2003).
Can someone explain to me why it behaves like this? And if anyone got a solution? It's only occur on Excel-documents and not the others Office documents...
Thanks in advance

Hi tomburken,
It seems that this is not a server issue .
This issue may due to the " automatically save " executed by some office scripts .

WIS 30902 Error when opening a webi document from Rich client

Hi ,
When I try to open a webi document from local folder or import from CMS in Webi Rich client, I get the following error message.
"An error occured while checking the document security. (WIS 30902)"
Has any one come across this issue?
Thanks,
KartheeK

In our case, we could initialize Webi Rich Client (Webi RC) successfully , but later we found that any disruption in Webi RC client connection will corrupt the client ..\LocData files used by client to dock to the CMS, causing WIS 30902 error.
At first we thought just deleting the ..\LocData Client .lsi files fixed it. Unfortunately, there are a collection of files and folders in ..\Loc Data involved in the authentication. We already found that complete deinstall of Webi RC didn't work. Now we know the problem is in the \My Business Objects Documents\LocData values. Deinstall of Webi RC does not delete them.
It sounds scary, but isn't. The Webi RC will download the refreshed files it needs automatically from the CMS. However, it won't overwrite the old bad ones, and you have to do that manually.
Solution.
1. Logout of Webi RC. Make sure it is not running in taskmgr.
2. Go to the client ..\My Business Objects Documents\LocData folder.
3. Delete all the files and folders, or rename by adding .bak extension.
4. Logon with Webi RC
5. Corrupt files will now be resynchronized to CMS

Excel service and OWA - getting ERROR while trying to open/edit Excel documents

Hi All,
We have configured SharePoint 2013 with Excel Service and OWA (Office Web Apps).
After configuring, we are able to view/edit Word or PowerPoint documents from the browser (as OWA is configured). But we are getting errors while trying to open/edit Excel documents.
We are not able to view/edit the excel workbook from the browser (through OWA).
To open the excel in the browser, decision has to be taken at the farm level on what to be used – Excel Service or OWA Server? Is it possible to do setting at site collection level?

Error when opening document with ECL control: INVALID_DATA

Hi Gurus,
I've tried to search the net for this problem but could not find anything and I'm stuck now.
Description:
we're using ECL to view attached documents (to POs etc.) which are stored through ArchiveLink on the content repository.
when we try to open this document, time-to-time we get following error:
Error when opening document with ECL control: INVALID_DATA
Message no. SDV004
by time-to-time I mean that when we try to open same attachment again it opens successfully (sometimes we need to re-open it 3-4 times to get it)
what we've tried is to enlarge timeout for HTTP protocol (tx SMICM, from former 30 to actual 60) but only effect we got is that we're waiting for the error longer time
It will be really great if anybody of you guys can give me an advice where the problem can be or where should I look and what to check
Thanks,
David

Hi Christoph,
thanks for tip, unfortunately this was already flagged, currently settings are:
for Display Settings:
yes - include ECL control
use HTML control
empty - maximum viewer wait time
(do you think that setting some value for this could help)
yes - deactivate generic object services in viewer
no - doc display as dialog box
yes - deactivate data provider cache
Storage Settings:
yes - always copy document class from document type
yes - permit multiple assignment
Thanks,
David

CF 8 CFPDF "Merged" document throws 131 Error when opened in Acrobat

We are using CF 8 on Windows Server 2003 platform.
Any CFPDF "Merged" documents are throwing 131 Errors when opened in Acrobat
Tried re-saving the documents on local machine and still same problem. Tried opening in multiple versions of Acrobat, same problem.
Individual documents created are opening without issue. It is Only when these documents are merged that this error occurs.
We do not experience this behavior in our CF 10 environment.
We are a Big, Slow moving enterprise here so not much chance of getting our CF 10 environments promoted to meaningful production use soon.
Found virtually nothing in HelpX and nothing online of any value regarding this issue.
Has anyone else experienced the issue noted in the title of this discussion?
Has anyone a work around or solution?

I am getting the same error even in Acrobat version 8.1.3.
Additionally, I noticed that if we click on menu ‘Advanced->Sign&Certify->Preview Document’, then we get a notification as “This document is not PDF/SigQ compliant and may display inconsistently”. On clicking ‘View report’ on that notification, the below dialog pops up. It has errors listed as:-
Code 4000 : Unrecognized PDF content. The document contains PDF content or custom content not supported by the current version of Acrobat.
Code 4002: PDF content contains erros.
However, if we sign the PDF using default adobe signature functionality and reopen that PDF, the error does NOT come and the notification also says ‘This document is PDF/SigQ compliant’.
Can anybody please suggest what could be missing in the custom sign that we apply? Is it because of any of the missing fonts or any other resources?
Awaiting reply!

I'm getting an error message "There was an error when opening this document. Access denied" on some PDF's that I was able to open in past. Uninstalled XI and installed X but same problem. How can I access these files?

I have exactly the same problem. The interesting thing is that the file opens when I attach it to an email and open it out of the email. I already saw the advice you provided in similar post from Aug last year and checked the security settings of the file and the folder. But according to that I have all rights.

Outlook 2010 gives error when opening a PowerPoint attachment.
Hi All,
We have several VIP employees that are getting the following error on all PowerPoint documents that come as attachments from Outlook.
I have researched and tried the following steps and verified these settings are already applied.
I did find a work around but not a fix and our security team will NOT allow me to change this setting however if I uncheck the setting all employees can open the outlook attachment.
Any other ideas on a fix for this if I am unable to uncheck Enable Protected View.

Hi Matthew,
This is a perennial problem, here is a thread which has a deep discussion about this issue:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/07f710a5-a6ca-4256-8f27-6aac41a6b37e/outlook-2010-unable-to-open-word-excel-and-power-point-attachments-from-an-email?forum=outlook
It looks like nobady really find a solution there, the only workaround is what you have found - change the protected view setting in Trust Center. You will lose some security by doing this but it seems to be the only solid solution currently.
