Handling file exporting

[antonychristopher]

Hi All,

From my development module, need to export the data from the response to the respective files namely (.csx,.xls, .ooxml, .json, .pdf & .xml). From exporting feature handling bunch of data's and avoid client side processing.I'd liek to go along with server side.

  
  DSRequest parseReq =  new DSRequest();
  parseReq.setExportAs("csv");
  parseReq.setExportFilename("abc.csv");
  parseReq.setExportResults(true); 
  parseReq.setExportToClient(true);
  parseReq.setExportDisplay("download");
DSResponse response  = parseReq.execute();

From the above code it fetches the data but not downloading the CSV file from the browser. Is anything i need to add or missed any configuration in background.

SmartGWT Version : Isomorphic SmartClient/SmartGWT Framework (v11.0p_2016-10-21/PowerEdition Deployment 2016-10-21)
Browser version: Chrome V59.0

Kindly provide your suggestions.

This appears to be server-side code, but what matters is the client-side code that calls it, because a request that will result in a download has to be initiated in a special way.

Just look at the examples of export: it takes just a call to exportData() client-side to do an export, and no server-side code such as the above will be required.
