The time came for me to export data to Excel in my partially enterprise targeted application built on Grails v1.1.1. My first impulse was to go for a grails plugin. The export plugin seemed to be pretty close to what I needed. Sadly I could not get it to work and anyway I need to export denormalized data that spans several domain objects.
Having given up on the plugin I hit google and found a really good solution that seems to offer about the best possible performance short of pregenerating the reports.
This solution which uses Hibernate Projections seems like a good candidate for a plugin.
