Question

I am developing an web application where i need to show a report to users. I am using jasper report for reporting. Now what i want to do is to show the jasper report in my web page along with option to export report in pdf/excel file format according to user preference. I don't want to embed java applet on my web page to show report. I have searched over internet and found sample of showing report in browser pdf reader. It solves my purpose of showing report in web page without using applet but by this i can only export report in pdf format. But i need to give user option of exporting in excel format too. So my question is what way i can achieve my goal as i mentioned above?
