class DefaultController extends Controller
{
    
    public function indexAction($name)
    {
        // ask the service for a Excel5
        $xls_service =  $this->get('xls.service_xls5');
        // or $this->get('xls.service_pdf');
        // or create your own is easy just modify services.yml


        // create the object see http://phpexcel.codeplex.com documentation
        $xls_service->excelObj->getProperties()->setCreator("Maarten Balliauw")
                            ->setLastModifiedBy("Maarten Balliauw")
                            ->setTitle("Office 2005 XLSX Test Document")
                            ->setSubject("Office 2005 XLSX Test Document")

                            ->setCategory("Test result file");
        $xls_service->excelObj->setActiveSheetIndex(0)
                    ->setCellValue('A1', 'Hello')
                    ->setCellValue('B2', 'world!');
        $xls_service->excelObj->getActiveSheet()->setTitle('Simple');
        // Set active sheet index to the first sheet, so Excel opens this as the first sheet
        $xls_service->excelObj->setActiveSheetIndex(0);
 
        //create the response
        $response = $xls_service->getResponse();
        $response->headers->set('Content-Type', 'text/vnd.ms-excel; charset=utf-8');
        $response->headers->set('Content-Disposition', 'attachment;filename=stdream2.xls');
        
        // If you are using a https connection, you have to set those two headers for compatibility with IE <9
        $response->headers->set('Pragma', 'public');
        $response->headers->set('Cache-Control', 'maxage=1');
        return $response;
