I have some questions regarding to the export functionalities of the Displaytag library and parameters handling:
Is it right, that it is not possible for different tables to specify different export formats? For instance one table tag that supports output as xml, excel, pdf and another table tag which supports only xml output? Can I overwrite the standard excel export for a certain table?
If question 1 is ‘NO’ and I have to provide a separate download link for my excel export (more than one table sheet, additional formattings, ..), it would be very nice to add to this individual link the last sorted column inclusive their order (ascending, descending). How can I get this information?
A common question for the Display tag lib.
If I have requestURI="/list.do" (action retrieves data from the database and sets a request attribute) each sorting has as consequence a database operation. Is that right?
The lib handles sorting, paging with a view to the request parameter the origin request was make?! Does anybody know the relevant Displaytag class and method where the request uri for the sort links is constructed?
Regards,
Uwe
