SEAM Excel Export question

[sammes.michael.zohner.commerzbank.com]

Hi,

ic generate an Excelsheet via passing data to an excel template (e:workbook ...).

When the data has been collected a pop is shown where I can open or save the excel file.

When I open the excel file, the file is displayed via the IE browser excel add-on directly within the browser.

But I want it to open the MS Excel application and to show it there, not within the browser.

Any ideas how to solve this problem ?

regards
Michael

It probably(?) has something to do with the value for the Content-Disposition header in DocumentData being inline as default.

I had the same problem and, as I did not find any other way to override the default inline in DocumentData, I solved this way:

In components.xml specify your own DocumentStore:

<document:document-store class="your.pkg.DocumentStore" />

then add the new class:

package your.pkg.document;

import org.jboss.seam.document.DocumentData;

public class DocumentStore extends org.jboss.seam.document.DocumentStore {
     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

     @Override
     public void saveData(String id, DocumentData documentData) {
          documentData.setDisposition("attachment");
          super.saveData(id, documentData);
     }
}
