Workaround Description:

Hide
The workaround consists of, instead of using an iterative component, simply using an h:outputText component and build a string based on the List that would've been used in ui:repeat, concatenating all item values in the List and adding necessary formatting, like commas. This h:outputText component would only be rendered when performing the export operation (i.e. having a boolean property bound to its 'rendered' attribute that returns true only when the current phase is the Invoke Application phase).

Description

Iterative components like ui:repeat, icecore:repeat, ace:list and any other component that performs iteration don't get to be exported by ace:dataExporter. This is because, when exporting, the components aren't really processed in the same way as when they're rendered. The export operation occurs in the Invoke Application phase, and the component values are extracted by different means, depending on the general type of the component. An UIData component just won't go through the full iteration process at this stage, initiated by the ace:dataExporter component. Perhaps we could consider adding some special processing for UIData components in ace:dataExporter to perform the full iteration process and extract the value at each row, and we just concatenate all the values.

Summary

ace:dataTable - Content not rendered when using c:forEach in ace:column

ace:dataExporter, content of components that perform iteration is not exported

Arturo Zambrano made changes - 05/Jul/17 6:35 PM

Description

When using a c:forEach to render content in a cell, the content isn't rendered in the call. If a ui:repeat is used, the data is shown.

This issue was found after trying the workaround for ~~ICE-9474~~. The customer is trying to export content via the ace:dataExporter. Using the workaround, it doesn't show the data on the screen or in the export. With a ui:repeat tag, it does show on the screen but not in the export.

r52052: added support for exporting ace:dataTable, ace:list, icecore:repeat and UIData descendants in general

It's not possible to support exporting ui:repeat because it's not a component but a tag handler, and all the exporting logic is based on actual components. Instead, icecore:repeat can be used.

r52489: added support for exporting nested ace:list components based on SelectItem models

The previous code assumed that only composite lists would be exported. The new test app revealed the lack of support for SelectItem models in ace:list when exporting them nested in other components that perform iteration.

This issue wasn't exclusive to Wildfly.

Myfaces was throwing an exception from removing null from the request map. This fix avoids that.
