For most servlet engines, just provide some <servlet-mapping>'s in your
application's web.xml file.

Hi

I am exporting the data through .jsp file in three formats 1. excel,
2. xml
3. csv though for rest 2 it is exporting the data in same format with
proper extension but if i clicked .csv it is exporting in same format
but with.jsp extension. Tell me where exactly in web.xml i have to put
so that it will take the proper extension for all the exports file
without changing the formats of first two formats.

Thanks in advance

Please don't top-post; posts are much easier to read when new content
goes below any old content to which it refers. :)

I understand now what you're trying to do. I'm afraid I don't have an
easy answer. You may find one in the reference material for your
server. One quick & dirty alternative would be to generate the content
(xml, csv or excel) to a static file, then provide a link or redirect to
that file. That approach may be undesirable for several reasons,
including security, but it is straight-forward.

Hi,
How about, in your JSP, set the following header:

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=<whate ver>.csv

assuming you want the browser to do the typical open-or-save dialog.
The purpose of this syntax is to tell the browser, with the
"attachment " part, that the file should be saved and not opened
inline, and with the "filename" part, that the filename in the URL is
not the "real" filename of the object.
