open file attachments(pdf,xls,txt,doc,etc) in html(or htm) without downloading

I have an application in which on a certain page user has the facility to upload a file(pdf,doc,xls,txt,etc). When user go again on that page and click on that attachment, it downloads and then opens it.

Now, user want to open that attachment directly without downloading. Attachment should be opened in htm/html format in web browser window in new tab.

This application is in java(jsp/servlets).

Can anyone help me with this ?

Thanks

You could use the ZOHO Remote API to view documents online, if they're accessible at a public HTTP address, for example: https://viewer.zoho.com/api/urlview.do?url=http://elsa.berkeley.edu/~saez/TabFig2005prel.xls

You should add the caching type/method to the response of the first time the file is downloaded.
