[displaytag-user] About decorators, html and export

[Carlos Franco Robles]

Hi all.   In our Project we use displaytag a lot and sometimes we need to use decorators to format the text and to create the links that are inside <display-column> elements. The problem is that if we want to export the data (for example, to excel) our generated HTML (by decorators) go to excel file too. When we create a link with params like href, paramId, paramProperty etc there is no problem because the html <A> is not present in the export. Is it possible to do something like this, I mean, can I say to displaytag something like “this is the piece of code to show, this is the piece of code to export”. If not, has anybody resolved this?   Thanks a lot.
