I just completed the work related to DISPL-13 and DISPL-22: displaytag now allows the user to register custom export views to handle exporting of data in specific formats. A sample PDF export usin IText has been added to the distribution. While working at this, I also reworked the export filter to allow streaming of exported content: instead of buffering the entire content, the table tag sends a particular header through the response and the export filter allows direct access to the response (dificult to explain, you should take a look at the code). This should help solving some memory/performance issues related to exporting of long lists.
Since the code has changed a lot, please try the next builds in your applications and report any comment. I will appreciate any test in specific application server/framework, to be sure that changes didn't break anything. Documentation has been updated: as soon as the website will be regenerated by automatic builds you will find a couple of new pages explaining how export works and how to write custom export views: comments (and spell check) are welcome. I closed any issue in jira related to requests of a specific export format in displaytag, since I don't think displaytag can ships will all the possible export options ready, but that this configurable system is the better solution. As a bonus, I also committed a new stylesheet for the maven-generated documentation site, hope you will not find it too bad fabrizio ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
