Seam & Facelets
Firstly, let me apologise for posting this in the Seam forums when it is really a Facelets question....
I am converting a JSF application to use Seam 1.0 beta 2 and Facelets 1.0.12. I've converted the project to use Seam and everything is working fine.
On changing to Facelets everything is also working fine except for one page which kinda relies on JSP to render an Excel spreadsheet on the fly.
The following code works correctly when using JSP as the view handler, but when I switch over to Facelets, it renders an HTML page instead of an Excel spreadsheet.
Is there a way of specifying the content-type in Facelets?
Is there a way of telling Facelets to delegate the rendering to JSP?
Any help much appreciated!
James.
