iam displaying the headers and content types

response.reset();
byte[] blobdata1 = wb1.getBytes();
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel: xls, xlb: Microsoft Excel Document");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename="+" Excel123"+".xls");
response.setDateHeader("max-age", 0);
response.setHeader("cache-control", "no-cache");
response.setHeader("Content-Encoding", "en-US");
response.setHeader("Connection", "keep-alive");
response.setHeader("Expires", "0");
response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
int off = 0;
int l = (int) wb1.getBytes().length;

Ain't too sure, but you could try setting the following for the Content-type header and see if it works:

application/msexcel
application/x-msexcel
application/ms-excel

Browsers have a weird way of being touchy about what one sets for the Content-type header.
Also as I see, you haven't set the Content-length header. Set it to the value of blobdata1.length
