I added to web.xml  ( on both, server level and application level) the
following clause
<mime-mapping>
       <extension>xls</extension>
      <mime-type>application/vnd.ms-excel</mime-type>
     </mime-mapping>

and then restarted the server, but still got the same result
Am I using the right set up?
thanks

browser to display excell spread sheet when href to .xls file is
selected?
It displays the raw file insted.

<a href="/cobra_source/beneficiary_template.xls"
target="_blank">Excel template </a>

P.S.  I am using Tomcat 5.0.28 and jdk 1.5.0._12

thanks for your help


in the web.xml of your webapplication, you should properly define the
contentype for .xls files.
Specifically,
  <mime-mapping>
      <extension>xls</extension>
      <mime-type>application/vnd.ms-excel</mime-type>
  </mime-mapping>
In later versions of Tomcat, the default configuration has this mapping.
