I don't know about BIRT, but I recently did an output to Excel page. You link to it like any other page:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html xmlns:wicket="http://wicket.apache.org/";> <head> <title>Auction Excel Download</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="application/x-msexcel"> <meta http-equiv="Content-disposition": attachment; filename="catalog.xls"> </head> <body> <table> <tr wicket:id="rows"> <td wicket:id="id"> </td> <td wicket:id="member.id"> </td> <td wicket:id="name"> </td> That meta content in the head is more for documentation - it doesn't seem to work without the final step below: The Java code looks something like this to populate the table: add(new DataView("rows", new MyDataProvider()) { public void populateItem(final Item item) { item.setModel(new CompoundPropertyModel(new DetachableXYZModel(item.getModelObject()))); item.add(new Label("name")); And the final magic makes it ask if you want to open it with excel: @Override protected void configureResponse() { super.configureResponse(); getRequestCycle().getResponse().setContentType("application/x-msexcel"); } That worked for me - hope it helps. (Also note you can output a mix of literal data and formulas) I use web app to collect data, then word merge templates for reports. -- Jim Pinkham http://firstuucolumbus.org/auction On Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 10:22 AM, newbieabc <newbie...@yahoo.com> wrote: > The generation of the excel report. > I am really new to BIRT and wicket.. > I've created the BIRT report (report.rptdesign)(in eclipse) but need it to > be output as xls. > I'd really appreciate some help. > Thank you > > > reiern70 wrote: > > > > Sure you can...
