Following new attribute added. Setting it to false omits the need of click on a link to create a file. Default value is true.

I think we need to reconsider how this component works. I don't understand the use-case for having to click twice to download an export file? If possible, we should both generate the export file and initiate the download with a single click to the "label" on this component. This makes the component nicer to user from a user's perspective and makes the component more efficient as it doesn't generate the file until a user actually requests it.

We could then deprecate the "clickToCreateFileText" attribute altogether that was in the original 1.8 release for this component (make it a no-op attribute and mark it as deprecated in the TLD docs). We would no longer require the new "clickToCreateFile" attribute added as part of the original commit on this JIRA. As it hasn't released yet, we can simply remove it altogether.

Following changes made:

• "clickToCreateFileImage" attribute removed.
• "clickToCreateFileattribute" attribute removed.
• "clickToCreateFileText" still exist but no-op marked as deprecated.
• The render is now response writer based.
• Only one click is required to create and download the file.
• File will only be created if clicked to download.

Tld Docs updated revision 18905

Can you provide an example of a single click to create, download and delete a file? Are you sure you can do this in the context of JSF? So far we're using our own Servlets for downloads (non data exporter downloads). Here's my example. I also use Maps when the dataExporter is in the context of a repeated structure (loop of tables). An example of that would be useful too. I'm really clogging up my faces-config.xml with stuff.

<ice:dataExporter for="configAndCalib"
binding="#

"
image="images/Excel-16x16.png" type="excel"
style="text-decoration:underline"
clickToCreateFileText="Click to create excel file" />
<ice:dataExporter for="configAndCalib"
binding="#

"
image="images/Excel-16x16.png" type="csv"
style="text-decoration:underline"
clickToCreateFileText="Click to create csv file" />
