I am trying to setup a servlet to allow a download of an excel file based on the user selectio

Answer 1

I'd also recommend looking at using the PrimeFaces FileDownload. Depending on your structure it could make this all a whole lot easier. You wouldn't have to create a servlet just a managed bean that can provide a ContentStream.

Since you already have the servlet written though, there's no point to change, just food for thought.
