Hi,
Thanks for explaining that! I should have seen this, and I will use the
media attribute now. BTW, I had implemented my *hack* approach by checking
for the "-d" trailing the end of the URL's export parameter, since the
number within this parameter did change across invocations.
But I have one more issue: I have a column that needs different decoration
for both export (CSV, Excel) and display. BUT unfortunately the decorations
require the use of other column values in the same row. It looks like I
can't get the row Object from within a Column decorator() method.
I would like to use the media approach to decorate this column for
the appropriate media. Using my hack approach I was able to use a different
table decorator and override the colum callback which allowed access to the
row object to get other column values.
Is there a solution to this?
Thanks again,
NBirch.

( this is exactly what the media tag enables )
The trick with the media tag is to repeat the columns, like in the
example jsp, where the 'url' property is formatted differently as a
link on an html page and as plain text on an exported page. Only one
of these 2 columns - never both - will be displayed at a time:
<%-- either the url is shown as a link .. --%>
<display:column media="html" title="URL">
<% String url =
((ListObject)pageContext.findAttribute("currentRowObject")).getUrl();%>
<a href="<%=url%>"><%=url%></a>
</display:column>
<%-- .. or as plain text --%>
<display:column media="csv excel" title="URL" property="url"/>

Not sure about the status on export.decorated bug, someone else
may chime in?
