- Constructor Detail- AbstractXlsView- public AbstractXlsView() Default Constructor. Sets the content type of the view to "application/vnd.ms-excel".
 
 - Method Detail- generatesDownloadContent- protected boolean generatesDownloadContent() Description copied from class:- AbstractViewReturn whether this view generates download content (typically binary content like PDF or Excel files).- The default implementation returns - false. Subclasses are encouraged to return- truehere if they know that they are generating download content that requires temporary caching on the client side, typically via the response OutputStream.
 - renderMergedOutputModel- protected final void renderMergedOutputModel(Map<String,Object> model, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception Renders the Excel view, given the specified model.- Specified by:
- renderMergedOutputModelin class- AbstractView
- Parameters:
- model- combined output Map (never- null), with dynamic values taking precedence over static attributes
- request- current HTTP request
- response- current HTTP response
- Throws:
- Exception- if rendering failed
 
 - createWorkbook- protected org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Workbook createWorkbook(Map<String,Object> model, HttpServletRequest request) Template method for creating the POI- Workbookinstance.- The default implementation creates a traditional - HSSFWorkbook. Spring-provided subclasses are overriding this for the OOXML-based variants; custom subclasses may override this for reading a workbook from a file.- Parameters:
- model- the model Map
- request- current HTTP request (for taking the URL or headers into account)
- Returns:
- the new Workbookinstance
 
 - renderWorkbook- protected void renderWorkbook(org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Workbook workbook, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException The actual render step: taking the POI- Workbookand rendering it to the given response.- Parameters:
- workbook- the POI Workbook to render
- response- current HTTP response
- Throws:
- IOException- when thrown by I/O methods that we're delegating to
 
 - buildExcelDocument- protected abstract void buildExcelDocument(Map<String,Object> model, org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Workbook workbook, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception Application-provided subclasses must implement this method to populate the Excel workbook document, given the model.- Parameters:
- model- the model Map
- workbook- the Excel workbook to populate
- request- in case we need locale etc. Shouldn't look at attributes.
- response- in case we need to set cookies. Shouldn't write to it.
- Throws:
- Exception
