[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/DISPL-245?page=comments#action_61139 ]
Jeff Sheets commented on DISPL-245:
-----------------------------------
I would like to export a footer of the form:
<display:footer>
<tr>
<td>Bottom of Col 1</td>
<td>Bottom of Col 2</td>
<td>Bottom of Col 3</td>
</tr>
</display:footer>
How hard would it be to change the export to export the footer as a bottom row
in the table? This would seem like more correct behaviour than adding the
footer to a single cell at the bottom of the table.
Thanks...

> Request for enhancements of the export facility
> 1. The default exporters should render the table as close as possible
> to the rendered HTML. When typical business users are presented with the
> displaytag export facility, they usually expect the exported Excel or PDF
> to
> look just like the HTML in their browser; they expect a WYSIWYG rendering.
> 2. The export API should encourage reuse of the table-rendering logic
> employed to render the table in a JSP. For instance, to render the
> grouping
> in my PDF export just as it appears in the HTML, I would have had to
> re-implement TableTag.groupColumns(). Also, any future changes to the
> table rendering would not be included in my PDF export. So, this looked
> like a job for the Template Method pattern, which also applies nicely to
> the
> decorators, to ensure that the HTML and default export
> renderings will be in synch.
> 3. Include caption in export.
> 4. Include footer in export.
> 5. Export in RTF format.
> The attached patch implements the above enhancements.

> Here's a live example and a more detailed explanation.</a>
> Following are potential additional export enhacements I'm working on.
> 1. Use css table styles as style configuration for Excel, PDF, and RTF
> exports.
> If not practical, provide export style config properties.
> 2. Specify Excel formats for columns, e.g., ##.##.
> 3. Include smart linking in Excel, PDF, and RTF exports.
> 4. Export just the current page, a page range, or all data, especially if
> paging is used.
> The ui may look like this:
> Export options: Excel | PDF | RTF | From: [1] To: [1] (default to this
> page)
> Export options: Excel | PDF | RTF | From: [1] To: [max] (default to all)
> Defaults to exporting what's on the page currently. Default would be
> configurable through property.
> 6. Set the column width to the max column string value width.
> 7. Exporters should support nested tables.
> 8. Implement font styles in RTF export, e.g., bold face.
> 9. Export in MS Word format using POI.

> table-rendering
> code. As such, the relevant unit test are the existing tests,
