Difference on ReportDesignHandle between onPrepare and beforeFactory [message #366436]

Hi all,

I want to dynamically add columns on a Table.

I tried on the beforeFactory(...) method of ReportEventHandler and
everything is alright.
Then I tried on the onPrepare(...) method of TableEventHandler with the
same code but it didn't work.

It both case, I use the following code to get the TableHandle :
(TableHandle) reportContext.getDesignHandle().findElement("myTableName")

With the debugger, I saw that I have the same instance of reportContext in
each method. But the ReportDesignHandle behind is not the same... I guess
this is why I don't have the same final result.

But is it normal or is it a bug ?
Or maybe I don't use the good way to get the TableHandle on the
onPrepare(...) method ?

Thanks,

Loïc

Loïc,

I believe it is getting a cloned version of the design handle.
Can you log a bug for this?
