Export functionality in embedded pivot4j report


I am embedding a pivot4j report using pivot4j component in pentaho.

Is it possible to have a export to excel OR PDF facility like it has while designing the report?

If so, how can I do that?


Solution

  • Got the solution from the developers. Posting as it is from the URL https://groups.google.com/d/msg/pivot4j-list/WQ91bXbOdbs/K_eW6VZqAwAJ

    It's something doable but it will require a bit of custom modification of the view template. When you embed a Pivot4J report, embed.xhtml is used as the view template instead of view.xhtml. If you compare them with each other, you can that the former is just a minimal version of the latter.

    So you can probably copy the necessary components related to the export feature (look for 'mi-export-*') and paste into the embeded template and modify it if necessary.
