Hi,
I have previously created excel sheets in JSP in weblogic, and i get
the result accurately.
I had used;
<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" import="java.sql.*"
language="java"%>
at the top of the page and,
<meta http-equi="Content-Type" content="application/vnd.ms-excel;
charset=iso-8859-1">
in the head tag of my page.
Now I'm using tomcat 5.5 and this is just not working....
Can someone help me out with this?

Lazy is it?*  Try beating it with a stick, or
alternately, offer it inducements - like cash.

* WTF does 'not working' mean?

the file is getting created but the data is not there..

Thanks for clarifying.  Now hopefully someone* who
is experienced with WebSphere and Tomcat can explain
the difference in behaviour.

out of the thread now.  Hope you get it sorted. )

But now I think about it, I will ask a general
question re JSP of anybody that can answer it.

Is there any chance of 'swallowing exceptions'
within a JSP?  I did some JSP, but my recollection
is fuzzy.

And to the OP.  Do you understand what I mean by
'swallow exceptions'?  OK.. since I'm here, the
general form would be

  try {
    // something that might fail
  catch(Exception e) {
    //do nothing useful with the information
    // and continue
  }

That owuld be 'swallowing an exception'.

Whereas the way to do the opposite (*not*
swallow exceptions) would be to..

  try {
    // something that might fail
  catch(Exception e) {
    // be very verbose about what went wrong
    e.printStackTrace();
  }

How long is the JSP file?  If it is short, it
may pay to post it to this thread.

Hi Friends,

Ruds, am realy sorry- i dont have any idea abt ur query, hope somebody
else will clarify it.

Thompson,

        JSTL provides library tags to maintain Exceptions in JSP pages
& is

<%@ taglib prefix=3D"c" uri=3D"http://www.java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>

<c:catch var=3D"sampleExc">

  - code  -

</c:catch>

By this JSP container will handle the exception, using the custom var
we can able to display the type of error occured in the later part of
the code.

Thank you,

Sure:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur>

And it's spelled with an upper-case "U".

You could of course use <% try } %>
.... JSP code ...
<% } catch (Exception e) {} %>

or use JSTL core.
<c:catch var="e">
.... JSP code ...
</c:catch>
<c:if test="${e != null}">
   Exception ${e}
</c:if>

Can you show us the complete JSP?  That would be a start.

It is possible to catch exceptions in Java code embedded
in or called from a JSP page.

It is also possible to redirect to an error page
in case of an exception.

My assumption would be that if someone is capable of using
either of those techniques, then are also able to
troubleshoot effectively. They are not something that
get added standard.

Are you generating CSV or XLS format ?

Generating XLS format from JSP is error prone. You should
use a servlet for that.

Generating CSV should be possible from JSP even though I would
still recommend a servlet.

An empty file has nothing to do with the content type, so
we need more info.

Empty output is sorted, so he's OK there. :-)
