Export to Excel

[Emiliano]

I saw that OL creates an Excel button that points to an <MyEntity>/Excel method that doesn't exist.

Any suggestions ? :-)

Hi Emiliano,

OpenLegacy has a default controller class which handle all REST api call and also export to excel.

We added last week the ability to generate a custom Java controller, which can take over the default behavior.

You can use it to generate different URL mapping and add custom code to controllers.

Maybe I didn't understand, but in the autogenerated controller of my entity I can't found any method for Excel export. Am I wrong ?

No need to add a custom method if you have one that handle it correctly.

PS: where I can found/see this new features ?

The excel NPE was fixed.

You need to update your maven JAR's (typically updated automatically).

The new generated REST controller is a Java server side generated controller. You need to update the IDE, via help -> check for updates.

It's available via project right click, OpenLegacy -> Generate REST controller

Got some errors during update process.

How I can remove a site accidentally added to software site in the update Windows ?

[Roi Mor]

Try to update OpenLegacy via Help -> "Install New Software"

And update from URL:

http://eclipse.openlegacy.org/updatesite/2.1

Uncheck "Contact all updatesites..."

[Emiliano]

Ok, updated.

Is it possible to remove one update site added for error ?

See attached. Via Windows -> Prefrences

TY!

I tested the Excel export on a WP 8.1 phone, but I can't open file (office is installed with the os)

The excel implementation is producing HTML table, with excel content type (which opens well on desktop excel).

It's a known issue that it's not opened on mobile device.

Let us know if it's critical for your project, and we will raise it's priority.

Not at the moment, thank you :-)
