Hi George,<br><br>Just wanted to clarify whether you mean that the classes from Seam Mail for rendering would be extracted out into the Seam Render module or Seam Reports? The way I read it it could be either way.<br><br>
If the former, then I think that would be a good idea. If the latter, then I'd be concerned about the linkages to Reports from Mail.<br><br>Regards<br>Ken<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 17, 2011 at 6:34 PM, George Gastaldi <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gegastaldi@gmail.com">gegastaldi@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
Seam Reports is a portable extension for Java EE that provides APIs<br>
for compiling, populating and rendering reports (Excel, PDF, etc) from<br>
existing report frameworks (JasperReports, etc).<br>
<br>
I invite anyone to try it and join it when possible.<br>
The module page for Seam Reports is online also:<br>
<a href="http://seamframework.org/Seam3/ReportsModule" target="_blank">http://seamframework.org/Seam3/ReportsModule</a><br>
<br>
Now that you are familiar with the subject, Iīll share some thoughts below ! :D<br>
<br>
I have spoken with Jason Porter and Pete Royle about incorporating<br>
Seam Render capabilities on this module also.<br>
The idea is, since this module produces documents, it would be nice to<br>
extract the classes used for rendering content on Seam Mail, for<br>
example to this module.<br>
The inter-module dependencies should not be required at first glance<br>
(Maybe from API).<br>
It would be nice if this module provided an API for generating some<br>
content (letīs say, use Velocity to generate a XHTML and XHTMLRenderer<br>
- <a href="https://xhtmlrenderer.dev.java.net" target="_blank">https://xhtmlrenderer.dev.java.net</a> - to generate a PDF for example)<br>
.<br>
So whenever you need to render a document, the answer is straight<br>
clear: use Seam Reports :)<br>
<br>
What do you guys think ?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
