Problem in exporting data to excel in nwds 7.3

Question

Hi All,
I was using the following code for exporting data to excel in NWDS 7.3
private IWDCachedWebResource getCachedWebResource(byte[] file, String name,
WDWebResourceType type) {
IWDCachedWebResource cachedWebResource = null;
if (file != null) {
cachedWebResource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(file, type);
cachedWebResource.setResourceName(name);
return cachedWebResource;
I was getting the error in the following line cachedWebResource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(file, type); when I clicked the quick help it ststed the getWebResource method is depricated.  Kindly provide some assistance on what is the new method in its place.
Thank you

Hi Ganesh,
Thanks that worked fine, but when we go further we are facing problem ie
byte[] excelXMLFile;
IWDCachedWebResource cachedExcelResource = null;
String fileName = dataNode.getNodeInfo().getName() + ".xls";
try {
// create Excel 2003 XML data as a byte array for the given context node,
// attributes and headers
excelXMLFile = toExcel(dataNode, columnInfos).getBytes("UTF-8");
// create a cached Web Dynpro XLS resource for the given byte array
// and filename
cachedExcelResource = getCachedWebResource(
excelXMLFile, fileName, WDWebResourceType.XLS);
// Store URL and file name of cached Excel resource in context.
if (cachedExcelResource != null) {
wdContext.currentContextElement().setExcelFileURL(
cachedExcelResource.getURL());
wdContext.currentContextElement().setExcelFileName(
cachedExcelResource.getResourceName());
// Open popup window with a link to the cached Excel file Web resource.
openExcelLinkPopup();
} else {
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(
"Failed to create Excel file from table!", true);
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(
e.getLocalizedMessage(), true);
} catch (WDURLException e) {
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(
e.getLocalizedMessage(), true);
The above bold lines also would need to be converted to inputstream, but not sure how to correct that
We are following the below pdf for the implementation.
