Is the server round trip a huge problem? I have a "loopback" CSV servlet that I hit quite often in our application. Most of our datagrids are subclassed and have an "Export CSV" button at the bottom. Simple function to convert all the rows to CSV and send it the server as a parameter to a FileDownload, server responds with the data and the right MIME type and they've got their CSV, no copy and paste or reliance on external code.
