Export To Excel in new popup window

Question

Hi all,
I am trying to implement the 'exportToExcel' functionality in which will open a XL file in a new window(which has to be the MS EXcel window,not the browser).My code snippet is as follows:
public ModelAndView exportToExcel(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response, ReceivingExceptionVO command)
          throws Exception
          System.out.println("Inside exportToExcel method:Hurray!!");
          try {
               ReceivingExceptionVO commandObject = (ReceivingExceptionVO) command;
               response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "public");
               response.setHeader("Pragma", "public");
               response.setHeader("Expires", "0");
               response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "inline; filename=\""+ "receive" + ".xls\";");
               response.setHeader("Content-Type", "xls/csv");
               ServletOutputStream outputStream = response.getOutputStream();
               HSSFWorkbook workBook = buildExcelDocument(new HSSFWorkbook(), request, response, commandObject);//this buildExcelDocument mthod is defined in this controller.This is not the method of api.This returns a workbook with required data
               workBook.write(outputStream);
               outputStream.flush();
               outputStream.close();
          catch (IOException e)
               e.printStackTrace();
          catch (Exception e)
               e.printStackTrace();
          return null;
     }But i am getting the excel in the current page only,not in the new one and that also getting in the browser.Please help.
