Think you want to look at Jakarta POI. It provides Java API's To Access
Microsoft Format Files

Many ways.
1. Set the content type/disposition header like this
Content-type: text/html
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename.xls
Since excel can open html contents this should work fine.

2. The better way is to output the data in xml format using XSLT or
directly from your servlet in MS-XML document format.

3. Output/convert data in CSV format and save it with .csv extension.

4. You can have a look at POI also.
