Hi
I'm having trouble exporting a datatable using the excelExporter.
I've tried with both a RichFaces and normal datatable.
What happens is that I get an empty excel file.
When using the XHTML tags I can create excel files without any problems (not entierly true haven't gotten the templateURI to work yet for me). But when trying to export a datatable I have problems.
I've made sure that the ID is correct and I don't see any logging output indicating a problem.
Using :
Seam 2.1.0.SP1 JSF Mojarra 1.2_10 RichFaces 3.2.2.GA Facelets 1.1.14
XHTML:
<h:form id="editForm"> <h:dataTable id="listTable" value="#{detailEdit.persons}" var="person"> <h:column> <f:facet name="header"> First Name </f:facet> #{person.lastName} </h:column> <h:column> <f:facet name="header"> Last Name </f:facet> #{person.firstName} </h:column> <h:column> <f:facet name="header"> Birth Date </f:facet> #{person.birth} </h:column> </h:dataTable> <h:commandLink value="Export to Excel" action="#{excelExporter.export('editForm:listTable')}"/> </h:form>
Cheers,

Use outputText for the values. There is a JIRA for this...
