    Datatable excel export problem

      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,
