Mime problem

Question

Look my snippets,please:
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook();
HSSFSheet sheet = wb.createSheet("new sheet");
// Create a row and put some cells in it. Rows are 0 based.
HSSFRow row = sheet.createRow((short)0);
// Create a cell and put a value in it.
HSSFCell cell = row.createCell((short)0);
cell.setCellValue(1);
// Or do it on one line.
row.createCell((short)1).setCellValue(1.2);
row.createCell((short)2).setCellValue("This is a string");
row.createCell((short)3).setCellValue(true);
// Write the output
OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
wb.write(out);
out.close();
When I run my servlet I receive :
no pilot found for
application/vnd.ms-excel
Save Context
Can You help me,please ?

Hi,
I realize that your problem occured quite a bit of time ago, but maybe during that period you have managed to solve it. Lately I have tried to set up a simple servlet for running pdf docs and I found the same obstacle :
"no pilot found for application/pdf". Is there something to do with servlet configuration? maybe something else....
Could you please help me in this case?
Thanks a lot in advance.
