OPEN JSP IN 2007 Excel

Question

I am trying to open JSP file in excel and I get the following message: excel cannot open the file because the file format or file extension is not valid.Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file. By the way, I have MS excel 2007.
here's my method:
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader("content-disposition","attachment; filename=Report.xlsx");
Also, I have add the following to web.xml:
<mime-mapping>
<extension>xlsx</extension>
<mime-type>application/vnd.ms-excel</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
Could u pls resolve the issue asap.

With .xls i m publish the this report sucessfully.
while opn report with extension .xls , i m getting warning mesg.
pls help me out.First of all: are you actually generating an Excel report using some Excel API (JExcelAPI or Apache POI HSSF), or are you just sending some HTML to the client and fooling the client that it is an Excel file by changing the response headers?
