Here I am using poi-jar to export data from database to excel it working fine . But here I want change instead of creating manual path. I wanted make that as to download automatically with out creating any manual path like this:
OutputStream file = new FileOutputStream(new File("D:\\venki1213.xls"));
And this is my code:
Session ses = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().openSession();
String query;
query = "from LibraryImportEntity ";
List<LibraryImportEntity> list = ses.createQuery(query).list();
ses.close();
System.out.println("list size" + list.size());
String filename = "D://ranjith//ranjith1213.xls";
OutputStream file = new FileOutputStream(new File("D:\\venki1213.xls"));
HSSFWorkbook hwb = new HSSFWorkbook();
HSSFSheet sheet = hwb.createSheet("new sheet");
HSSFRow rowhead = sheet.createRow((short) 0);
rowhead.createCell(0).setCellValue("Sl.No");
rowhead.createCell(1).setCellValue("Magazine Name");
rowhead.createCell(2).setCellValue("Volume No");
rowhead.createCell(3).setCellValue("Issue No");
rowhead.createCell(4).setCellValue("Cost");
int i = 1;
for (LibraryImportEntity l1 : list) {
System.out.println("sl_no" + l1.getSl_no());
System.out.println("Magazinename" + l1.getMagazinename());
System.out.println("sl_no" + l1.getVolumeno());
System.out.println("sl_no" + l1.getCost());
HSSFRow row = sheet.createRow((short) i);
row.createCell(0).setCellValue(l1.getSl_no());
row.createCell(1).setCellValue(l1.getMagazinename());
row.createCell(2).setCellValue(l1.getVolumeno());
row.createCell(3).setCellValue(l1.getIssueno());
row.createCell(4).setCellValue(l1.getCost());
i++;
}
try {
FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream(filename);
hwb.write(file);
fileOut.close();
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(LibraryExportDAO.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
System.out.println("Your excel file has been generated!");
return "success";
}
If you are generating the excel in a browser just call the method you want to generate the excel file based on a url and set the response properties like this,
//1.Fill the data from db
//2.Set the response properties
String fileName = "Excel.xls";
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=" + fileName);
// Make sure to set the correct content type(the below content type is ok)
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
//3.Write to the output stream
Writer.write();//call write method of Writer class to write the data to o/p stream
Writer Class:
public class Writer {
private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("service");
/**
* Writes the report to the output stream
*/
public static void write(HttpServletResponse response, HSSFSheet worksheet) {
logger.debug("Writing excel data to the stream");
try {
// Retrieve the output stream
ServletOutputStream outputStream = response.getOutputStream();
// Write to the output stream
worksheet.getWorkbook().write(outputStream);
// Flush the stream
outputStream.flush();
}
catch (Exception e) {
logger.error("Unable to write excel data to the output stream");
}
}
}
In the response receiving end you'll be prompted to download the file in the browser window.. LINK
