Hi, a quick update on this: I have been able to resolve this, and in a simple way (but different from my first proposal), move all the Dictionary related implementation (inside Element.java) in an inner class instance, and provide a getter method for it.
Of course this needs some little adjustements in other classes (included in the patch), BUT even in users code ... take a look at the patch in the issue, here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-855 So the real question: I'd prefer to fix this behaviour NOW (for 2.0.2) without waiting for the 2.1 ... what do you think ? This is an important question, please tell me your opinions. Unless objections I'll commit the fix tomorrow. Sandro
