Cannot get Export to CSV to work in EE

[kvb]

Hi there,

I'm having a hard time getting the export functionality to work of a ListGrid.

My DataSource has a custom data url set, and for the export action I have this code:

DSRequest dsRequestProperties = new DSRequest();
			dsRequestProperties.setExportAs(ExportFormat.CSV);
			dsRequestProperties.setExportDisplay(ExportDisplay.DOWNLOAD);
grid.exportData(dsRequestProperties);

Pretty much exactly like in the showcase.

However, when I actuall call this function I get this error:

http://localhost:8888/datasource.ds/Results.csv?isc_rpc=1&isc_v=SC_SNAPSHOT-2010-02-23&isc_tnum=1

Where the "datasource.ds" is the URL I set as a DataURL of the datasource.

Three questions:
1. Should this work OOTB with a custom datasource?
2. How do I control which URL is called if I have to (if it doesn't work OOTB)
3. If it doesn't work OOTB for custom data sources, what do I have to call server or client side to get the exact same results as the regular datasource functionality?

Regards,

Kees.

It does work out of the box with a custom DataSource, however it requires that the servlet you are pointing to is registered in web.XML with a wildcard URL pattern similarly to the builtin IDACall servlet, such that the client is allowed to add a filename to the export URL. This is the only way to get certain browsers to recognize the intended exportFileName.
