Class DataExporter

java.lang.Object
  org.kuali.rice.kew.export.DataExporter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Exporter

public class DataExporter
extends Object
implements Exporter

The DataExporter allows for exporting of KEW BusinessObjects to various supported formats. The current implementation supports only XML export. This process is initiated from the KNS screens (lookups and inquiries) and this implementation leverages the existing XmlExporterService which is part of KEW and which was used to do exports before KEW was converted to use the KNS.
