Hi,
I am trying to implement a Java-based event handler for a data set.
However, I do not understand how to write to a text field/list
cell/table cell from the onFetch() method, yet?
Are there any examples out there?

Have you dragged the dataset on to the report canvas? Datasets do not
run unless they are bound to a report item (table/chart/etc).

Patrick,
I sent you an email with an example. Can you try it?
