Excel reporting through Jasperreports

[manish kkum]

Hi,
I am trying to generate excel reports through Jasperreports in a web application (still in evaluation mode). I have written the following JSP which is supposed to generate the Excel report. But When I run the example, all the garbage (I think, binary form of the report) comes up in the browser. I have set the content type as response.setContentType("appcation/excel"). Then why is it showing in binary form ?
Has anybody use the JAsperreports for excel reporting ina web application before ?
thanks in advance...
regards,
manish
