I am trying to write an application that adds 2 cloumns to a table. It works
fine with the first one:


....
....
table = elementFactory.newTableItem( null, 3, 1, 1, 1 );
....
....
PropertyHandle computedSet = table.getColumnBindings( );
DataItemHandle data = null;
RowHandle detail = null;
ComputedColumn cs1, cs2 = null;

// Create Detail for first column.
cs1 = StructureFactory.createComputedColumn( );
cs1.setName("firstName");
cs1.setExpression( "dataSetRow[\"firstName\"]" );//$NON-NLS-1$
computedSet.addItem( cs1 ); //Add an item to the end of a list property

// Create Detail for second column.
cs2 = StructureFactory.createComputedColumn( );
cs2.setName("lastName");
cs2.setExpression( "dataSetRow[\"lastName\"]" );//$NON-NLS-1$
computedSet.addItem( cs2 ); //Add an item to the end of a list property


// Add first column to report.
detail = (RowHandle) table.getDetail( ).get( 0 ); //returns the first
slot.
tcell = (CellHandle) detail.getCells( ).get( 0 );
data = elementFactory.newDataItem( null );
data.setResultSetColumn( cs1.getName( ) );
tcell.getContent( ).add( data );

// Add second column to report (ERROR!)
detail = (RowHandle) table.getDetail( ).get( 1 ); //returns the first
slot.
tcell = (CellHandle) detail.getCells( ).get( 1 );
data = elementFactory.newDataItem( null );
data.setResultSetColumn( cs2.getName( ) );
tcell.getContent( ).add( data );


// Finally add the updated table to the report design.
reportDesignHandle.getBody( ).add( table );


But that give a nullpointer exception. It assume that its because I do
..get(1) but how do I add more than one details column?

Do you have 2 detail rows?
this returns a second detail row.

detail = (RowHandle) table.getDetail( ).get( 1 ); //returns the first
> slot.

try

detail = (RowHandle) table.getDetail( ).get( 0 ); //returns the first
> slot.

No I have one details row, but would like to access/write-to the second
column of that details row. To access the second column I just needed to do:


// Add Second Column to report.
detail = (RowHandle) table.getDetail( ).get( 0 ); //returns the first
slot.
tcell = (CellHandle) detail.getCells( ).get( 1 ); // access second column.
data = elementFactory.newDataItem( null );
data.setResultSetColumn( cs2.getName( ) );
tcell.getContent( ).add( data );
