[Dev Khadka <de...@syntechnepal.com>]

Do we have any plans for migrating Seam Reports to DS?

I would like the "render" module can be continued,
provided renderer for freemarker, velocity, and others file format/
built-in expression.

I have myself created a "jar/module" for PDF rendering.
This jar includes:
- the facelets tags of Seam 2 (excepted the ones using Charts) for
rendering PDF (uses old free version of iText)
- a filter to capture the request for PDF document and render it
correctly (The name of the rendered doc is in the html template as in
seam 2)
- a CDI component (FaceletsRenderer) that you can inject in your java
code in case you need to "render" a PDF document and store it in a
database or do whatever you want with it without an HTTP request that
triggers the rendering. It is applicatrionscoped has one metho:
public byte[] renderViewAsBytes(String template)

IMHO, for simple PDF document with moderated performance/capacity
needs,  it is way more easy to use compared to Jasper. Dev just have
to code "normal" xhtml/facelets.

For xls, we use jXls templating and rendering. Very simple to use.

As the only CDI component is the "FaceletsRenderer" component, i don't
know if this would be a nice addition to DS or not.

However, if someone wants this to be part of DS, I would be please to
help to commit it myself (before I need a fast-path training in GIT
and MAVEN -from svn and ant-)

Hey,

no, there is currently no concrete plan for migrating Seam Reports to
DeltaSpike. At least we didn't talked about migrating it yet. So I cannot
tell you if there will be a migration at all. But if there is a strong
demand for it, we could of cause discuss this topic.

I'm just speaking for myself here, but to be honest, I think that Jasper
Reports should provide a CDI integration module that offers such
functionality instead of putting this into DeltaSpike. But as I said,
that's just my personal opinion. :)
