19.2. Creating a simple workbook
The worksheet support is used like a
<h:dataTable>, and can be bound to a List, Set, Map, Array or DataModel.
<e:workbook xmlns:e="http://jboss.com/products/seam/excel">
<e:worksheet>
<e:cell column="0" row="0" value="Hello world!"/>
</e:worksheet>
</e:workbook>
The following is a more common use case:
<e:workbook xmlns:e="http://jboss.com/products/seam/excel">
<e:worksheet value="#{data}" var="item">
<e:column>
<e:cell value="#{item.value}"/>
</e:column>
</e:worksheet>
</e:workbook>
The top-level
workbook element serves as the container, and has no attributes. The child element, worksheet, has two attributes: value="#{data}" is the EL-binding to the data, and var="item" is the name of the current item. The worksheet contains a single column. Within this is the cell, which is the final bind to the data in the currently iterated item.
Now you can bind your data into spreadsheets.
