Server side code(lets say servlet named exportServlet) behind the button can retreive the data in the same fashion as done for displaying on the JSP.

But then, exportServlet writes data back on the HTTP response using the mime type application/octet-stream.

See Javadoc for javax.servlet.ServletResponse.setContentType()
