OK, so this is pretty obscure, but the good news is that there are easy
workarounds to the problem.
This code fails:
public Object download() { return new Clob(...); }
but this code will work:
public Clob download() { return new Clob(...); }
(ie specify Clob not Object as return type)
and so will:
public Object download(String filename) { return new
Clob(...); }
(ie take at least 1 argument).

The issue is down to the way in which we set up the Wicket viewer's Ajax
handlers; downloadable objects with no-args have to be dealt with in a
certain way, and we look at the action signature to try to guess.
I've raised a ticket [6] to see if we can support all the cases, but I
don't see it as a high priority to fix.
Thx

PS: probably tangential to what you are working on, but the isisaddons has
a docx module [7] for mail merges. And Jeroen experimented with xdocreport
[8], which looks simpler still; we will probably make a very minimal module
around that, too.
