p:dataExporter throws java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/lowagie/text/phrase

Try iText 2.1.7 not 5.2.1. http://olex.openlogic.com/packages/itext/2.1.7

I think there are licence conflicts. So primefaces uses 2.1.7

For Excel Export you need Apache POI. Try 3.7: http://archive.apache.org/dist/poi/release/bin/

Edit

(you need only the poi-3.7*.jar and poi-ooxml-3.7*.jar)

I tried to use the data exporter control of primefaces 3.2. Following is the code:
```
<p:commandLink value="export" ajax="false">
        <p:dataExporter type="xls" target="dtable" fileName="myfile" />  
    </p:commandLink>
<p:datatable id="dtable" ........../>
```
When I click on export link, I get the following error:
```
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/lowagie/text/phrase
```
I downloaded itext jar 5.2.1 and included it in my application, still I get the same error. How do I solve it?
