I do love the idea of the PDF templating using facelets in Seam for doing up quick documents and e-mails -- but the idea of adding Excel support then leads to the plethora of other output formats that you can think of.. and does all that fluff (and re-inventing of the wheel) really belong in Seam? I think most people who need a large variety of output formats will settle on a more full-featured reporting framework anyway. So rather than putting Excel support into Seam, I think tools for integrating JasperReports or BIRT with Seam JSF pages would be much more helpful. Especially for customers who already may have a significant investment in jasper reports and want to now render them via a Seam web app? Thoughts? Daniel.
