             Summary: Seam ExcelExporter
                 Key: JBSEAM-5131
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBSEAM-5131
             Project: Seam 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Excel
    Affects Versions: 2.3.0.Final
            Reporter: Bobby Lawrence
            Priority: Minor


The org.jboss.seam.excel.exporter.ExcelExporter component is great, but it doesn't apply converters to objects is puts into Excel spreadsheet cells.
The "processOutputs" method simply sets the value of the UIOutput in the cell via:
cell.setValue(output.getValue());

It would be much more helpful if it called any converter on the output before something like:

Object outputValue = output.getValue();
Converter converter = output.getConverter();
if (converter != null){
     outputValue = converter.getAsString(
                 FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(), output, outputValue);
}
cell.setValue(outputValue);
