Eric Jung commented on JBSEAM-3830:
-----------------------------------
I agree my patch wasn't the best place to fix the problem. A more likely place would
be UICell.getDataType() or somewhere else, but I didn't understand the flow of things
enough to do the patch there. Can you tell me where/how it was fixed? Even a subversion
revision number would help. I'd like to pull down the fix and use it locally. By the
way, I'm the JExcelAPI SourceForge site owner, Forum Moderator and have contributed to
the JExcelAPI source code. You guys have done excellent work with this; thanks so much!
e:cell doesn't support null values
----------------------------------
Key: JBSEAM-3830
URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3830
Project: Seam
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Excel
Reporter: Eric Jung
Assignee: Nicklas Karlsson
Fix For: 2.1.1.GA
Attachments: JXLHelper.java.diff
If the value of an e:cell is null , an exception is thrown due to a lack of null checks
in JXLHelper.createCell(). It would be better if the cell value was empty in the case of
nulls, just like JSF's and Facelets' <h:outputText
value="#{aNull}"/> outputsan empty string when encountering nulls.
Workaround described below, but it gets very tedious adding null checks for hundreds of
cells across multiple worksheets.
