General export wrapper for JSF components (mainly datatables)
-------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-3042
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3042
             Project: Seam
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Core
            Reporter: Nicklas Karlsson

It would be handy to have a centralized way of exporting data from the view (as outlined in the forum reference)

A seam component with the methods like

  public void export(String componentID, String exportFormat);
  public void registerExporter(String exportFormat, String componentName);

and registered exporters for xls, pdf, jpg, csv, xml etc. that would be capable of fetching the component by ID and rendering them to the requesting format

A custom toolbar-component with icons for registered formats could also be handy

(could be useful to generalize the PDF DocumentStore concept for a case like this)
