Symptoms


ADF Component exportCollectionActionListener CSV file's delimiter is not always a comma. For some users the CSV file is coming with semicolons instead of commas in an ADF component application that uses the exportCollectionActionListener with type="CSV" to download data from an ADF table and export it to an csv file, it shows that the fields are separated with ; instead of , such as:

"ViewAttr1;""ViewAttr2"";""ViewAttr3"";""ViewAttr4"";""ViewAttr5"""

This will cause an issue when the csv file is opened in Excel since it will not be read correctly


EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
-----------------------
When exporting data from ADF to CSV, the data should be separed with ,  (comma) like the following:

"ViewAttr1","ViewAttr2","ViewAttr3","ViewAttr4","ViewAttr5"
