Description Pilekes 2010-04-12 09:06:23 UTC 
I get the following error message when using WorkBook.CloneSheet with POI 3.6:

The class org.apache.poi.hssf.record.chart.BeginRecord needs to define a clone method null 

When I use POI 3.2-FINAL it copies the sheet including chart perfectly, except for the fact that the cloned chart points to the original page...

I was hoping this was resolved in 3.6, but after reviewing some posts on the subject, it probably isn't...

Cheers

Could you please upload a problematic file? We'll need it to be able to debug the problem, as well as to be able to write a unit test to then ensure it doesn't get broken again in the future!

(It would seem a few charting records will need the clone feature added, but we need a real file to discover which)

BeginRecord.class

I'm hoping that this is the file you want...
Since I'm using CF8 to fill an Excel template-sheet and cloning this sheet with poi CloneSheet...
Which in turn errors on the BeginRecord class...

It's the excel file that gives the error that we need....

Example Sheet that produces the exception

We have the same Problem. I have added an example sheet that can not be cloned.

This is the Code i have used to clone the sheet:

HSSFSheet tempSheet = excelWBTemplate.cloneSheet(0);

Fixed in r950611.

Note that there may be some more work needed to ensure that both sheets behave sensibly in excel after the clone (patches welcome!), but no exceptions are now thrown

Comment 8 Pilekes 2010-06-15 05:25:30 UTC 
And how do I implement this fix?
Comment 9 Nick Burch 2010-06-15 07:14:56 UTC 
Use a svn checkout build / nightly build / wait for 3.7 beta 1 (hopefully due in a week)
