I know the spring framework has support for creating both excel and pdf views (for excel either using POI or JExcelAPI). How would I go about creating a view and invoking it from a spring roo application.

I did a lot of research to no avail. I know the spring framework very little and less how Roo uses it. For example, I could not see any view java files in a roo project (even when removing the filter for spring roo itd.

Your kind help is much appreciated.
