hantsy bai commented on SEAMREPORTS-16:
---------------------------------------

For pdf rendering, there are several open source solutions existed, Apache FOP(I used it and  transformed xml file to pdf directly, especially DocBook files), Apache PDFBox, iText, and ICEPDF(it is from the famous ICEFaces company, I have not used it).
For Excel exporting, JExcel is simple and easy, but Apache POI is powerful, and it is not only for Excel now, it is also support other MS Office format.

> Seam 2 provided PDF and Excel rendering directly via facelets, I was heavily impressed by this feature, and it is widely used in our projects.
> How to use it in Seam3(I am sorry, I do not know it should belong to Faces module or this module)?
