String finFileName=t+"-"+timeValFin+".xls";

//diaplying SAVE AS DIALOG
res.setStatus(res.SC_OK);
res.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
res.setHeader( "Content-Disposition","inline; filename="+ finFileName);
String realPath = this.getServletContext().getRealPath("");

FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(fileName+".xls");
ServletOutputStream out = res.getOutputStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int read = -1;
while ( (read = in.read(buf, 0 , 1024)) != -1)
{
out.write(buf, 0, read);
}
out.flush();

why dont you simply forward to the URI of your XLS file, if no security issues are there or file is not being generated at runtime.

Hi Sejal!
The filename parameter must be enclosed in double quotes.
Try using this:
res.setHeader( "Content-Disposition","inline; filename=\""+ finFileName + "\";");
Hope this helps!
p.s. and if you want to force the Save As Dialog box to appear, you should use "attachment" as the Content-Disposition instead of "inline"
