[excel] Need ability to choose between Content-Disposition: inline and Content-Disposition: attachment for downloads -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-4664 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBSEAM-4664 Project: Seam Issue Type: Patch Components: Excel Affects Versions: 1.0, 1.0.1, 1.1.0.GA, 1.1.1.GA, 1.1.5.GA, 1.1.6.GA, 1.2.0.GA, 1.2.1.GA, 2.0.0.GA, 2.0.1.GA, 2.0.2.SP1, 2.0.3.CR1, 2.1.0.GA, 2.1.0.SP1, 2.1.1.CR1, 2.1.1.CR2, 2.1.1.GA, 2.1.2.CR1, 2.1.2.CR2, 2.1.2.GA, 2.2.0.CR1, 2.2.0.GA, 2.2.1.CR1, 2.2.1.CR2, The future Reporter: Eric Jung Assignee: Marek Novotny Labels: excel, http_header Fix For: 2.3.0.ALPHA Attachments: UIWorkbook.java.diff When downloading an Excel workbook, org.jboss.seam.excel.ui.UIWorkbook always sends the HTTP response header "Content-Disposition: inline; filename="xxxx.xls" where xxxx is the value of e:workbook's filename attribute. This header causes problems on some installations of IE 6, 7, and 8 with Excel 2002. Depending on how some settings are configured in the OS, the document may never open after download. Changing the HTTP response header value to "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="xxxx.xls" solves the problem. Notice the only difference is the word "attachment" vs. "inline". I would like the capability to choose between these two, just like jboss-seam-pdf.jar provides the same capability with its org.jboss.seam.pdf.ui.UIDocument: <pdf:document title="Some Title" disposition="attachment"> ... </pdf:document> Mail attachments in Seam provide the same capability: <m:attachment value="#{person.photo}" contentType="image/png" disposition="inline"/> I'm attaching a patch against Seam 2.2 trunk which provides this capability. With this patch, we can now write: <e:workbook type="jxl" disposition="attachment" ...> ... </e:workbook> or <e:workbook type="jxl" disposition="inline" ...> ... </e:workbook>
