jsf - Getting csv response at client side -

i trying retrieve csv file jsf managed bean.

right doing way,

csvcontroller: bean responds output content type text/csv.

samplecsv.xhtml: webpage contains code:

#{csvcontroller.generatereport()}

when browse page on browser, download dialog opens enables downloading csv file.

report.xhtml:

webpage downloads csv:

d3.csv('http://mysite/samplecsv.xhtml');

is there way rid of samplecsv.xhtml , straight retrieve csv file bean in report.xhtml? d3.csv('http://mysite/csvcontroller/report') perfect

the pattern you're asking not native way jsf works. see jsf 2: invoking managed bean directly

if still want download content straight managed bean, here illustration in how it. anyway, url download link in report.xhtml should generated jsf component <f:commandlink action="#csvcontroller.download()}" /> see how stream file download in jsf backing bean?

my recommended approach create new @webservlet("/csvcontroller") or jax-rs @path("/csvcontroller") front-end , phone call business logic here. access managed bean servlet this: possible inject @managedbean @managedproperty @webservlet?

anyway, recommed take at: backing beans (@managedbean) or cdi beans (@named)? are @managedbeans obsolete in javaee6 because of @named in cdi/weld?
