      For most servlet engines, just provide some <servlet-mapping>'s in your
      application's web.xml file.

          Hi

          I am exporting the data through .jsp file in three formats 1. excel,
          2. xml
          3. csv though for rest 2 it is exporting the data in same format with
          proper extension but if i clicked .csv it is exporting in same format
          but with.jsp extension. Tell me where exactly in web.xml i have to put
          so that it will take the proper extension for all the exports file
          without changing the formats of first two formats.

          Thanks in advance

              Please don't top-post; posts are much easier to read when new content
              goes below any old content to which it refers. :)

              I understand now what you're trying to do. I'm afraid I don't have an
              easy answer. You may find one in the reference material for your
              server. One quick & dirty alternative would be to generate the content
              (xml, csv or excel) to a static file, then provide a link or redirect to
              that file. That approach may be undesirable for several reasons,
              including security, but it is straight-forward.

                  Hi,
                  How about, in your JSP, set the following header:

                  Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=<whate ver>.csv

                  assuming you want the browser to do the typical open-or-save dialog.
                  The purpose of this syntax is to tell the browser, with the
                  "attachment " part, that the file should be saved and not opened
                  inline, and with the "filename" part, that the filename in the URL is
                  not the "real" filename of the object.

                  - --
