Let me start off by saying it looks really good.
My aim when I tried this out was to create adhoc PDF versions of tabular data
in a generic fashion, and came across the following questions and issues:
- unlike in html, table columns must have their width explicitly set,
is there a way around this or will I need to write some text size calculation
routines in order to display it nicely
- how can I format the cell data ? in xhtml I use an h:outputText with
a nested converter tag for numbers and dates but I can't do that within the pdf
tags
- I would also like to be able to specify landscape page orientation to
fit more columns on the page (prefereably at the chapter/section level rather
than the whole document)
More general points
- The phase listener only appears to catch pdfs launched from pages in the root
of the webapp as it checks for startsWith "/seam-doc"
- As others have mentioned I would also like to be able to use a different file
ending to .seam and would like to be able to use various names for the pdf,
ideally on a per document basis (I haven't tried the servlet version in cvs yet)
- lastly, the sessional document store doesn't appear to be ever cleared of the
pdf data so will fill up the session with data. I'd be tempted to remove the
data from the store after it has been sent down to the client (losing the
ability to refresh the pdf without going back to the link that generated it),
and/or using a store that has a cache expiry timeout
Next thing I was going to try is a seam-gen style template for my entities so
they can be printed nicely as PDF for people who like paper
thanks
