                                                  Currently
I have a servlet that assumes it is finding a .report and then I use
the exporter to export it as excel.  We have some reports that when
they are scheduled to run, they are saved as Excel.  How can I
programatically open that excel file from my servlet.Here is the error:
Error
An error occurred at the server : The object you
are trying to access (ID = 16109) has type CrystalEnterprise.Pdf. The Page
Server only supports objects of type CrystalEnterprise.Report. Please select a
different object. Here is the code that does the export assuming a .report is returned - thanks CrystalImageCleaner.start(getServletContext(), 60000, 12000);        HttpSession session = request.getSession();        // Get the ID of the current working report.        int reportID = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("ReportID"));        // Initialize the viewer.        CrystalReportViewer viewer = new CrystalReportViewer();        viewer.setEnterpriseLogon(this.enterpriseSession);        IReportSourceFactory psReportSourceFactory;        Object reportSource = null;        try {            psReportSourceFactory = (IReportSourceFactory)enterpriseSession.getService("PSReportFactory");            reportSource = psReportSourceFactory.openReportSource(reportID, java.util.Locale.ENGLISH);            viewer.setReportSource(reportSource);        } catch (SDKException e) {            e.printStackTrace();        } catch (ReportSDKExceptionBase e) {            e.printStackTrace();        }        viewer.setOwnForm(true);        viewer.setHasLogo(false);        viewer.setBestFitPage(true);        viewer.setDisplayPage(true);        viewer.setDisplayGroupTree(true);        viewer.setDisplayToolbar(true);        viewer.setOwnPage(true);        viewer.setURI("ReportViewer?ReportID="+reportID);                try {        // Make the viewer render the page.            viewer.processHttpRequest(request, response, getServletContext(), null);        } catch (ReportSDKExceptionBase e1) {            e1.printStackTrace();        }

The PSReportFactory service, CR Page Server, is only for viewing Crystal Report formats, and not instances in other formats.
For the other formats, ensure you list the SI_FILES property in the InfoStore query, then cast the resulting InfoObject to IContent.  The IContent interface support methods to stream the file content from the File Repository Server.
