This is something I am looking for. How can we generate the excel page in a
new frame. Here is the code that I used. The file is quotehistory.xsp
I have a xsp page which has 2 submit buttons.
<input name="submit1" value="GO" type="submit"/>
<input name="submit1" value="EXCEL" type="submit"/>
Both refer to the same href.
Note: The href points to the same file.
<form href="cocoon:/coplets/search/quotehistory.xsp" method="get">
In my site map here is the match for quotehistory.xsp . Check the map:select
that I am using. When user clicks on GO then I want the out put to displayed
on the screen. When user clicks EXCEL I want the output to be displayed in a
excel file. When I click on GO its working fine, when I click on EXCEL it
isnot generating a excel page it is displaying output in the same coplet but
it is not tranformed well because it is not html. Also when I click on GO and
the output comes to QuoteHistoryResult.xsp . in this page I placed a
hyperlink that would generate excel that works. The xsl file and serializer
that I am using are just the same and that works. Dont know where the problem
is.
<map:match pattern="quotehistory.xsp">
<map:act type="validator">
<map:parameter name="descriptor"
value="context://newhistoryserver/defs/
descriptor.xml"/>
<map:parameter name="validate-set" value="securityquote"/>
<map:generate type="serverpages"
src="quotehistoryresult.xsp"
label="raw">
<map:parameter name="from"
value="quotehistory"/>
</map:generate>
<map:select type="request">
<map:parameter name="parameter-name"
value="submit1"/>
<map:when test="GO">
<map:transform
src="context:/newhistoryserver/styles/
searchresult.xsl"/>
<map:serialize/>
</map:when>
<map:otherwise>
<map:transform
src="context://newhistoryserver/styles/
page2xls.xsl"/>
<map:serialize
type="xls"/>
</map:otherwise>
</map:select>
</map:act>
<map:generate src="quotehistory.xsp" type="serverpages"/>
<map:transform src="context:/newhistoryserver/styles/search.xsl"/>
<map:transform src="context:/newhistoryserver/styles/
dynamic-page2html.xsl"/>
<map:serialize/>
</map:match>
Thank you for the patience.
Anna.
