Displaying richfaces components with seam-pdf?

[marcio.dantas]

Is it possible to render a pdf file using seam-pdf that contains richfaces components without losing the css?

If it is, how it can be done? I've been readng the docs, but I couldn't get to a concllsion.

Thanks in advance.

I assume you are asking about p:html.  I don't think any of the richfaces components would render correctly in it.

[marcio.dantas]

Yes, I had p:html in mind..

So the good practice to do simple reports using seam-pdf is writing dedicated html pages (with css embedded in the tags)?

[norman]

Yeah.  If you have suggestions for improving it, I'm all ears.  I really considered the p:html sort of a last resort mechanism rather that a primary means of accomplishing things, but I'm open to ways to improve it.

Sorry about the delay. I was on vacations.

I won't mention the difficulties to get it done, but I think the best solution would look like getting that page you wrote using richfaces and other components and simply generating a pdf from it, as it is displayed by the browser.

In other words, the html page being fully translated to pdf. A very easy way to develop simple reports. No need for jasper or css solutions.
