[S2] Exporting to CSV and Excel
I see that in the new 2.0.8 (Thanks Ted, Don and team) that the Jasper
plugin is included. Does that mean that Jasper is the endorsed
recommended way to export data to Excel and or CSV? If so, great. If
not, can you offer up what you feel is a preferred mechanism for
exporting to Excel?
Thanks for any experienced viewpoints you may have.

I am using display Tag as well but as soon as I sourrond it with the
<ajax:displayTag > it returns me an empty excel file.

Both of these tools use Apache POI <http://poi.apache.org/> as an
underlying Excel format generator. I wouldn't use Jasper as an Excel
generator, unless I were already using or intended to use Jasper as a
reporting engine. Display tag is only applicable, in this case, if
you need tabular data within a JSP along with an option to export in
Excel format.
POI is fairly easy to use, I've found, but it does have some memory
related problems associated with very large excel files.

I personally use display tag (http://displaytag.sourceforge.ne) which
has fine excel, csv and pdf export mechanism. It all depends on what
you are trying to 'export'.
