how to return excel in Struts2 result?

Question

I am trying to return an Excel sheet from my struts2 action class.

I am not sure what result-type should I be using? Has anyone tried to return an excel from strut

Answer 1

You can utilize the Stream Result type

an Example will look like this:

    application/vnd.ms-excel
    excelStream
    attachment; filename="${fileName}"
    1024
    ${contentLength}
 

excelStream will be a method in your action class, contentLength will be length of the stream, fileName will be a getter which will return back the name of the file.
