Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi All,

I am working on a JAVA/JSP application. JSP page passes the user inputs to JAVA page (using POST method) which queries to the database and generate an Excel file and returns the link for that file. I am displaying that link in JSP page ("Your file is successfully saved. Click here to download or view your file).

Now what I want is when the user clicks on the link, open/save dialog will appear which give flexibility to the user to download or view the file in same JSP page. The problem is I don�t want to post again the data or dont want to open a child window. How to set the content type without posting it (I don�t know much about this). Is there any way to do this?

Any help is highly appreciated. Thanx in advance

Cheers
