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 (let´s 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><br>George Gastaldi<br>-------------------------------------------<br>Seam Reports Module Leader<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>seam-dev mailing list<br><a
