-----------------------------
Hi Wannemacher,
Please consider the following poins
while extending/creating this feature.
1.It shouldn't be like display tag where you can export contents
of one table to different formats.then we will have a 'n' no of pdf's for the
'n' no of tables in a page.
2.Please separate the header portion from the data display(in
most of the web-2.0 API's column name will be given in column display tag
itself ).In ajax frameworks such as RIA this is one of the draw back.There
might be cases where columns itself will be dynamic .under such cases this
apporch fails terribaly.for ex <xx:column iterator="some list" header
alias="some name for column headre" /> fails in case of dynamic table display.
3.Please provide a tag ,which we use should be able to
display all the formats that struts supports.
4.It shouldn't be like jasper report plugin where we will
provide one list and that list will be displayed in the EXCEL/PDF .let us
consider the case of multiple tables in a single page THIS APPROACH FAILS and
also generating .jrxml files are teadious job.
5.lastly i have found new jquery plugin which supports
major web-2.0 features .really nice to see such a feature integration.as of now
it doesn't have grid display .we might get thata feature in next release.
looking forward for the exciting component in struts-2.x
> It would be better if we get export to other format as default framework

> In modern application development exporting to different formats is one of
