Opening Excel file in User browser window

Hi,
My application generates Excel file from the rowset and stores on the server automatically when the user clicks a button, but I want the Excel file to be downloadable by the user either by opening the Excel file in the browser or by prompting the user to save the Excel file on the users PC.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Runa,
Thanks for getting back to me. I have been through the already but that doesn't answer my question.
Here is what i did, it might be rude but easy,
public String generateExcel_action() {
WorkbookSettings ws = new WorkbookSettings();
workbook = jxl.Workbook.createWorkbook(new File("test.xls"));
WritableSheet s1 = workbook.createSheet("Number Formats", 0);
writeNumberFormatSheet(s1);
workbook.setColourRGB(jxl.format.Colour.LIME, 255, 0, 0);
workbook.write();
workbook.close();
}catch (Exception e){
log("Exception while generating Excel file" + e);
return null;
* Writes out a sheet containing the various numerical formats
* @param s
public void writeNumberFormatSheet(WritableSheet s) throws WriteException
try{
WritableCellFormat wrappedText = new WritableCellFormat
(jxl.write.WritableWorkbook.ARIAL_10_PT);
wrappedText.setWrap(true);
WritableFont wf = new WritableFont(jxl.write.WritableFont.ARIAL, 12);
wf.setItalic(true);
WritableCellFormat wcf = new WritableCellFormat(wf);
CellView cv = new CellView();
cv.setSize(25 * 256);
cv.setFormat(wcf);
s.setColumnView(0, cv);
s.setColumnView(1, cv);
s.setColumnView(2, cv);
s.setColumnView(3, cv);
WritableCellFormat horizontal = new WritableCellFormat();
horizontal.setOrientation(jxl.format.Orientation.HORIZONTAL);
// column headings
Label l = new Label(0,0,"National Fault Number", horizontal);
s.addCell(l);
l = new Label(1,0,"Fault Title", horizontal);
s.addCell(l);
l = new Label(2,0,"Company Name", horizontal);
s.addCell(l);
l = new Label(3,0,"System", horizontal);
s.addCell(l);
int row =1;
national_faultsRowSet.setCommand("SELECT * from national_faults");
national_faultsRowSet.execute();
while(national_faultsRowSet.next()){
l = new Label(0,row,national_faultsRowSet.getString("national_fault_number"); , wrappedText);
s.addCell(l);
l = new Label(1,row,national_faultsRowSet.getString("fault_title"), wrappedText);
s.addCell(l);
l = new Label(2,row,national_faultsRowSet.getString("company_details.company_name"), wrappedText);
s.addCell(l);
l = new Label(3,row,national_faultsRowSet.getString("system.system");, wrappedText);
s.addCell(l);
row++;
} catch (Exception e){
log("Exception in writing EXcel " +e);
test.xls is generated and stored in /install-dir/SunAppServer8/domains/creator/config, but I want the test.xls file either open in browser or prompt the user to save on his PC.
I tried to get the data from dataTableModel's cache, for some reason it always returns null, any most obvious reason????
Cheers

  • Problem opening html file in separate browser window

    I have an forms app where a user can download a file from the database and then open that file on the client. After the file is downloaded, I use webutil_host.nonblocking ('cmd /s start' ||filename) and it works fine for .doc, .xls etc. as these open a separate program. Problem occurs when user downloads an html file, the command opens the file in the same browser window as forms is running, thus ending the forms session.
    I've tried web.show_document('file:\\'||filename) but that fails as I assume it is looking for the file on the application server instead of on the client.
    Any ideas on how to workaround this issue?

    Well I searched around on google looking for a java servlet or jsp example and couldn't find one. I know they are out there becasue thats where I got mine about a year ago. I dont work at the same place anymore and couldnt take my code with me. Anyway, you would use this servlet for any document (xls, doc, html, txt, pdf) that is in the blob column in the db. The servlet would send a mime type first in the response and then the blob. The browser would display the blob in the associated helper application on the client (Excel, Word, IE, notpad, Adobe Acrobat Reader, etc..). The user can then save the document to their hard drive if they wish. This is faster becasue the clients hard drive isnt involved in the transfer from db to client. The user can then edit the document and reupload the document. Thats how we did it.
    Maybe somebody else can post a link to a generic blob download servlet? Thanks..

  • Can't open pdf files in Safari browser windows (bank website window) after I installed Adobe Reader 11update on my Mac last night

    I previously had Adobe Reader 9, which worked perfectly.

    Here's EXACTLY what happens:  I am in a Safari browser website and try to open a pdf file (my bank statement).  When I click on the link I get this message in a black window: "Adobe Reader.  Before viewing a PDF file in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser."  So I launch Adobe Reader but there is no End User License Agreement to accept.  I have done this several times with no result.  I am using a MacBook Air with OS 10.9.4 and Safari 7.0.5.

  • Opening pdf file in a  browser window.

    I have a requirement to open a pdf file in a new browser window after onClick of a link. It is not the url of the pdf file. Actually the pdf file is generated dynamically by reading a blob column from the database and converting into a byte array and writing it to the outputstream. This is the code
    Currently on click of the link we are opening a jsp file which has the following code. We have put target=_blank in the link.
    String fileName = "DownLoadFile.pdf";
    response.setContentType("application/pdf");
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=\""+ fileName + "\"");
    response.setContentLength(retrieveDocumentValue.getDocumentObj().length);
    try{
    ServletOutputStream out1 = response.getOutputStream();
    out1.write(retrieveDocumentValue.getDocumentObj());
    out.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
    out.println("IO Exception");
    e.printStackTrace();
    }The problem is that,It is opening two window, one is an blank browser window and other pdf file in the Acrobat reader application? How can we open the file directly in the browser only without opening the Acrobat reader application externally?

  • Opening XML file in the browser window after generating it.

    hi,
    my application generates an XML document by retrieving data from Oracle DB. To view that XML file i have to manually open it by going to relavant directory. I want to open it through JSP.
    Please help me. any sample code would be appreciated.
    thank u.
    [email protected]

    Instead of writing the xml to a file write it to the response. That will send it back to the browser
    Or create a new JSP that opens the file and then writes it to the response.
    ServletContext sc = getServletContext();
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(sc.getRealPath("/") + "/xml.in"));
    String input = null;
    response.setContentType("text/xml");
    while ((input = d.readLine()) != null) { out.print(input); }
         

  • Firefox 6.0.1 will not open .aspx files in a browser window. Safari does it fine. I am greatly disappointed in your lack of help for this problem. Your forum people keep blaming the web site yet Safari works fine.

    I tried to read my electric bill and got a message to view in an application or download. I assigned Preview.app to view it and it wouldn't work. Safari opens the bill in Preview.app by default.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • Problem opening excel file in new window

    Hi,
    I have a JSF application that sends an Excel file back to the user.
    My backing bean has a method that uses POI to generate the excel file and then write it to the servlet response.
    This works fine if I call the method from a command button, but this displays the file in the current browser window, whereas I want to open the file in a new window.
    I added an onclick javascript call to a command button which does a window.open() to open a jsp in a new window. The jsp contains an empty view, as I'm using an on-load phase listener to make the call to my backing bean method which should send the excel file when the file opens.
    However, when the window opens, I get an IE error message saying 'Could not open xxx.faces', and then an excel error message saying 'Could not open xxx.xls. This may be because the file does not exist, or the file is already open etc etc'
    However, I found that if the popup window goes through a servlet (which just forwards to the jsp page) instead of going to the jsp directly, it works like a charm.
    Any ideas or suggestions on how to fix this would be very much appreciated. If I can't fix it I'll just stick with the servlet approach, although it just seems a bit messy.
    (I'm using IE6 SP2, tomcat 5.5 btw)
    Cheers,
    Stuart

    I'm doing a similar thing, but I use commandLink to lauch the window. CommandLink has the "target" attribute that I set to _blank.  As you would expect, that opens up the page in the new window.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

  • Some users can't open Excel files. It is trying to open it in Internet Explorer "An error has occurred. Please try again."

    I have some users in my company that can't open Excel files from any document libraries on SharePoint 2010. The receive the error message "An error occurred. Please try again."  We don't currently use the Excel calculations services. When
    a user opens an excel file they are prompted to either Read Only or Edit.
    This affects less than 5 people in a large company.  They have the Full Control permissions and have been able to open the files previously.  There has been no changes made to the server either.  I can't find anything that points to this in the
    event viewer. 
    It doesn't matter if which computer that they try to open this up from either.   All computers are Windows 7 Professional with IE 9 and Office 2010 x64.   
    I can't find anything that points specifically to this exact error. None of the excel files contain pivot tables.    This one has me stumped.

    I would make sure no one has open on machine / locked on machine (Would assume you checked this, but wanted to add)
    Also would have assumed you restarted the machines (:))
    Make sure the file security did not change (check to ensure no one changed the sercuity of the excel)
    Make sure the version of excel is the same (Changing from 2010 back to 2007 affects the file, etc.. on convert) that no one converted and saved thus causing error in file.
    Can they open other excel files?
    It sounds like the excel file it self has changed if you cannot see issue in SharePoint logs.
    If it is all SharePoint excel files - try deleting one persons access and readding them to see if that helps.
    SharePoint has issues ;)

  • Cannot open Excel files on Windows share and ONLY Excel files

    I'm browsing a Windows share and for whatever reason it will not let me open Excel files directly from the network location. If I view the Coverflow, I can see a a preview of the actual file as well as copy it to the desktop and open it.
    I receive an error message that says "filename.xls could not be found."
    I can open up any other file from the network location, but not Excel files.
    I checked the file permissions and they mirror the other file types, it may be worth mentioning that I utilize network synchronization and view these files from a PC as well. I also noticed when I create a new file in that location, it will only appear in OS X and not Windows, but is still completely accessible.
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks

    Hi arsalan,
    This issue seems to be about the forefront protection. Please try to increase Antivirus time out as SharePoint Central Administration->Security->Manage antivirus settings, then compare the result.
    If this issue still exists, I suggest re-install forefront.

  • I can't open a pdf file in a browser window. I have to save it before I can open it. Why can't I open the file without first having to save it?

    Anytime that I click on a pdf file in a browser window, the file will not open automatically. I am forced to save it on my computer first and then access the file. When I click on it after it is saved locally, it opens as it should.

    If you are not able to get Adobe Acrobat Reader to open .pdf files in the browser. Even after you check in prefs to show pdf files in the browser.
    Make this modification for all versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader that show under this key.
    -Note: Deleting the key and all subkeys for any older versions also seems to fix this problem. So if you see this key present,
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\Originals
    delete the 7.0 and all subkeys.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals
    -Right click on Originals and choose NEW DWORD Value and name it bBrowserIntegration, hit enter,
    double click on the new value and make sure the value is 1

    Hi,
    If you want to open an excel file by a windows store app. There is no direct API in windows store app can handle excel file. You will need to find a third party component. But
    if you want to launch a file into its default handler, please see 
    Launcher.LaunchFileAsync API. And you can refer to the link below:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/hh779671.aspx
    private async void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    StorageFolder storageFolder =
    Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
    StorageFile file =
    await storageFolder.GetFileAsync("56.xlsx");
    if (file != null)
    // Launch the retrieved file
    var success = await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchFileAsync(file);
    if (success)
    // File launched
    else
    // File launch failed
    else
    // Could not find file

  • Since I installed Firefox 3.6.3, every time I open Google Notifier, two Firefox browser windows open.

    I am running Firefox 3.6.3 on my Mac G5 and my MacBook.
    Since I installed Firefox 3.6.3, everytime I open Google Notifier, two Firefox browser windows open. This happens on both of my computers.
    This never used to happen before, in the earlier versions.
    How do I make it so that only one browser window opens?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I installed Firefox 3.6.3 ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10_4_11; en) AppleWebKit/531.22.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.5 Safari/531.22.7

    I got this all screwed up too.
    hmm.. where to start?
    3.6 and 4.0 beta - really aren't intended to play well together.
    As has been mentioned above, they tend to write over each other.
    I managed to get both 3.6.15 and 4.0 beta 12 on the same machine.
    But, I had to do it several times.
    I got lucky by deleting everything Mozilla, then installing 4.0b12, then 3.6.15 - while making sure that each installed into a separate folder.
    I also took care to copy out a couple of BookMark BackUp files - just in case.
    My old 3.6# had become so bloated - and, Unstable - for Me, it was time.
    The bookmarks were all that I was still interested in.
    All the Plugins, Themes, AddOns, etc... had slowed the app to a crawl.
    So, I did as complete a wipe of Mozilla bloat code that I could, including profiles.
    I then did some registry cleaning.
    Then I installed 4.0b12 and 3.6.15.
    I can't open them both at the same time.
    If I open 3.6.15 first, then open 4.0b12 - the beta comes up as 3.6.15.
    If I open 4.0b12 first, then open 3.6.15 - the 3.6 comes up as the beta.
    This has a lot to do with both apps sharing the same default profile.
    I hope to drop down to one app in the near future.
    So, cobbling multiple profiles in order to diddle side by side apps - isn't worth it at this stage.
    For me, I can't open FF 4.0b12 when my virus protection is running. PCTools doesn't like some thing about the way FF4.0 wants to phone home when it opens.
    So, I can't commit to the 4.0b12, yet.
    3.6.15 was crashing on open too - until I uninstalled the feedback addon. - go figure -.
    Also, I can't get the 4.0b12 to start in safe-mode with the PCTools antivirus running.
    At the rater they are going, I don't see 3.6.# going away any time soon.

  • Cannot Open Excel File after exporting from Disco Plus

    Hi there,
    I got a question from one user having issue with opening Excel file after exporting from Disco Plus.
    The report has been using for a while and he is using Excel 2003 version and Discoverer 10g(10.1.2.2), he never got this kind of error before, just recently got error.
    After exporting from Disco Plus he saved file on his desktop and when he tries to open the excel it says "Cannot be Accessed, can be corrupted...." but this is not from network drive since he saved file on local desktop or C drive.
    Also not for all reports, only this particular report and only specific parameter, for example for parameter 2008 Feb opened successfully, but for2009 Feb he gets this error when trying to open excel.
    i tried in excel 2007 also , i dont think this is Excel version error, am not sure.
    Also after go live last week (we upgraded database from 9i to 10g) but i am not sure this causes ,since for one parameter working, for other parameter not working.
    Actually we should get one window for Macro when we try to open excel, but he is not getting it seems.
    Any ideas/thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks for your help

    Rod,
    Thanks for your quick response on this.
    Yes, we can export to other formats as well, but actually exporting is working, after saving the file on our local desktop/drive and when we try to open we get this kind messages or we cannot open the file, we should get message window for Macro to enable/disable but for this report we are not getting this either,
    Also this happens only for specific parameters,like i mentioned above it works I mean excel file opens for one set of parameters but for some other set of parameters cannot open.
    For example :- when we enter FEB 2008 it works, if we enter FEB 2009 it won't open the file.
    This is weird
    I am still working on this issue, may be better to recreate the report again might be helpful,
    Any ideas/comments/thoughts would be great
    Thanks
