DataExporter doesn't show icons

[mengerg]

The code below does show the commandbutton icon per line, but for the exporters, only the text "{Exporters}" is shown, not the two icons. The paginator icons do show correctly. I checked the presence of the xls and pdf icon by using them in the commandbutton.
<p:dataTable
id="pdmOrders"
rows="#{gui.rowsPerPage_pdmOrders}"
value="#{pdmOrdersView.pdmOrders}"
var="pdmOrderObject"
binding="#{pdmOrdersView.dataTable}"
paginatorTemplate="{CurrentPageReport} {FirstPageLink} {PreviousPageLink} {PageLinks} {NextPageLink} {LastPageLink} {Exporters}"
paginator="true"
styleClass="tableFont"
style="margin-bottom:20px">
<f:facet name="{Exporters}">
<h:commandLink>
<p:graphicImage name="/resources/images/xlsx-24_32.png" width="24"/>
<p:dataExporter type="xls" target="pdmOrders" fileName="orders" />
</h:commandLink>
<h:commandLink>
<p:graphicImage name="/resources/images/pdf-24_32.png" width="24"/>
<p:dataExporter type="pdf" target="pdmOrders" fileName="orders" />
</h:commandLink>
</f:facet>
<p:column
styleClass="left nowrap">
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText
value="#{rb.actions}" />
</f:facet>
<h:commandButton
title="#{rb.showPdmOrder}"
image="/resources/images/application_cascade.png"
id="showPdmOrderDetailsButton"
value="#{rb.showPdmOrderButton}"
action="#{pdmOrdersView.showPdmOrder}" />&nbsp;
</p:column>

Make sure you have single space between {Exporters} and {LastPageLink}.And this feature available only in PF 5.1,5.0.2 and 4.0.15 releases.

I've subscribed to Elite, downloaded and installed 502 and 506, checked the single space as advised, but still no icon for XLS is visible.

But it is not replicated in the showcase.Please make sure you don't have older jars.

OK, got the diusplay right now. Exporter works ! But the icon is immediately after the navigation buttons and not, as in the showcase, at the far right above the table. Is there some CSS trick to get this done ?

I think the whol issue was caused by the fact that I hadn't installed the required POI and iText JAR's. After I did that, it all worked fine. Maybe it is an idea to add a paragraph to the DataExplorer chapter (and others perhaps) that sums up all requirements for the component. The general location for dependencies in the manual is overlooked easily

Adding iText and POI dependencies is a mandatory requirement if you use dataExporter component.It is been mentioned in user guide as well.

Agree ! But who reads the entire manual The average developer will check the DataExporter chapter and starts working. It would be nice if that chapter would explicitly mention that some extra's must be installed to get it working
