contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" Not Working

[JordanParfitt]

I have a page with a grid on it that I want to export to excel. This has been working for quite some time (years) but the other day instead of opening in excel it has been opening in a browser window. Since the code is the same I am thinking it is a problem with a java or tomcat update. Does anyone know if there is a new code instead of: <%--@page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel"--%>"?

Here is the bulk of my code. Thanks in advance.

After research, adding "response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");" to the first line of code seems have taken care of the problem.

Thanks!
