JasperReport Export to Excel Snippet code

Sample code that will export JasperReport(.jasper) to excel, pay attention to the bold code
that's all the tricks. The sample servlet will accept two parameter the date and the name of the report.

  7. Hi Allen,

    I'm doing an assignment for school and need to locate 5 companies with websites that include Java Servlets or JSPs. How can I find these? How do I determine if a site is using servlets or JSPs?

    Thanks, Julie

  8. Very helpful indeed. But Aspose is also offering some products for JasperReports developers to export their reports in PowerPoint (PPT, PPS) and Word document (DOC, DOCX, HTML and TXT) formats. Another export format Excel (XLS) is about to be supported in near future. I hope this reference URL will help http://www.aspose.com/categories/jasperreports-exporters/default.aspx
