When I try using standard servlet approach, in my browser the popup window shows up asking me whether to open .xls file or save it.

I tried the exactly same code via JAX-RS and the browser popup won't show up somehow. Has anyone encounter this mystery?

Standard servlet that works:

package local.test.servlet;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLDecoder;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import local.test.jaxrs.ExcellaTestResource;
import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Workbook;
import org.bbreak.excella.core.BookData;
import org.bbreak.excella.core.exception.ExportException;
import org.bbreak.excella.reports.exporter.ExcelExporter;
import org.bbreak.excella.reports.exporter.ReportBookExporter;
import org.bbreak.excella.reports.model.ConvertConfiguration;
import org.bbreak.excella.reports.model.ReportBook;
import org.bbreak.excella.reports.model.ReportSheet;
import org.bbreak.excella.reports.processor.ReportProcessor;

@WebServlet(name="ExcelServlet", urlPatterns={"/ExcelServlet"})
public class ExcelServlet extends HttpServlet {

    @Override
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {


        try {
            //C:\Users\m-takayashiki\.netbeans\6.9\config\GF3\domain1

            // ================== ?????? =======================
            URL templateFileUrl = ExcellaTestResource.class.getResource("?????????.xls");
            //   /C:/Users/m-takayashiki/Documents/NetBeansProjects/KogaAlpha/build/web/WEB-INF/classes/local/test/jaxrs/?????????.xls
            System.out.println(templateFileUrl.getPath());
            String templateFilePath = URLDecoder.decode(templateFileUrl.getPath(), "UTF-8");
            String outputFileDir = "MasatoExcelHorizontalOutput";

            ReportProcessor reportProcessor = new ReportProcessor();
            ReportBook outputBook = new ReportBook(templateFilePath, outputFileDir, ExcelExporter.FORMAT_TYPE);

            ReportSheet outputSheet = new ReportSheet("??????");
            outputBook.addReportSheet(outputSheet);
            // ========================================================

            // --------------- ?????? -------------------------
            reportProcessor.addReportBookExporter(new OutputStreamExporter(response));
            System.out.println("wtf???");
            reportProcessor.process(outputBook);


            System.out.println("done!!");
        }
        catch(Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }

    } //end doGet()

    @Override
    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

    }

}//end class



class OutputStreamExporter extends ReportBookExporter {

    private HttpServletResponse response;

    public OutputStreamExporter(HttpServletResponse response) {
        this.response = response;
    }

    @Override
    public String getExtention() {
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public String getFormatType() {
        return ExcelExporter.FORMAT_TYPE;
    }

    @Override
    public void output(Workbook book, BookData bookdata, ConvertConfiguration configuration) throws ExportException {

        System.out.println(book.getFirstVisibleTab());
        System.out.println(book.getSheetName(0));

        //TODO write to stream
        try {
            response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
            response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=masatoExample.xls");
            book.write(response.getOutputStream());
            response.getOutputStream().close();
            System.out.println("booya!!");
        }
        catch(Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
    }
