Hi everyone --
We've built a Click app for Confluence wiki management, and we want to give
users an Excel export of a data table filled with metadata for wiki pages in
for a specific Confluence space key. I googled and was happily surprised to
find the Excel Export example for Apache Click. Woot!
(http://click.avoka.com/click-examples/general/excel-table-export.htm)
Looked easy enough, but the developer realized TableExporter was part of the
examples package, and needs additional supporting classes and properties files,
so he tried copying into our project, but ran into problems.
1) TableExportContainer.renderExportBanner()
-- Provides the link to the report, but is failing to load the properties file,
is there some configuration that might need to be done?
2) Link with arguments
As a hack around #1, I replaced the banner code with a hard-coded
MessageFormat.format("<span class=\"{0}\">Export options: [{1}]</span>", args);
-- The link does not include the original URL parameter for SPACKEY which is
needed to load the pages for a particular space from the DB.
-- Looks like we need to try exportTable.setExportLink( ) to embed the params
in the URL? Setup an ActionLink? PageLink? Need to create a new method to get
the data? Confused here.
3) Best way to Leverage the ExcelExporter classes
The classes are doing a lot of heavy lifting with POI, but copying them seems
like a bad idea long term. Suggestions?
