Hi. I am not sure of the best implementation for this feature, but I want to note that I think the feature itself would be valuable. My organization had to write a custom export servlet to do just this for some of our data tables, so providing this functionality within MyFaces may have been a nice time-saver as well as possibly easing maintenance.
I am not quite sure what is meant by "excel format". We are exporting as text/csv from our application. It may be worth allowing a few common formats, including tab-separated values, for greater generality. + Richard > -----Original Message----- > From: Cagatay Civici (JIRA) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, August 24, 2006 2:48 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [jira] Created: (TOMAHAWK-615) Exporting DataTable > data to excel > > > Exporting DataTable data to excel > --------------------------------- > > Key: TOMAHAWK-615 > URL: > http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMAHAWK-615 > Project: MyFaces Tomahawk > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Cagatay Civici > Assigned To: Cagatay Civici > Priority: Minor > > > A new component to allow exporting the data of a datatable to > the excel format using AJAX background.
