how to pass an excel object to a jsp file - servlets

Question

I am reading a excel file now I want to pass it to the jsp file.
I need to pass the test object to the jsp file so that I can display it to the browser.
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.*;
import jxl.Cell;
import jxl.Sheet;
import jxl.Workbook;
import jxl.read.biff.BiffException;
public class Readexcl
{
private String inputFile;
public void setInputFile(String inputFile) {
this.inputFile = inputFile;
}
public void read() throws IOException {
File inputWorkbook = new File(inputFile);
Workbook w;
try {
w = Workbook.getWorkbook(inputWorkbook);
Sheet sheet = w.getSheet(0);
for (int i = 0; i < sheet.getRows(); i++)
{
Cell cell = sheet.getCell(0, i);
System.out.print(cell.getContents()+" ");
cell = sheet.getCell(1, i);
System.out.println(cell.getContents()+" ");
//cell = sheet.getCell(2, i);
//System.out.println(cell.getContents());
}
}
catch (BiffException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
Readexcl test = new Readexcl();
test.setInputFile("c:\\DATA.xls");
test.read();
}
}

If you are in a servlet (but the same is valid if you are in a jsp) you don't need to pass anything...just set the apptopriate content type in response, get the ServletOutputStream, read the xls and write using that stream
If you are in a main it unusual but not impossible...just create a servlet that accept base64 encoded data. In your main read the file, encode the stream in base64band then make an http post call to that servlet, posting the encoded data. In your servlet doPost() method decode the data and write out using ServletOutputStream
