Hi all,

I've been having a further play with CellStyles and XSSFWorkbooks. I'm
having problems with being able to correctly reference a CellStyle. I
could pin the problem down to the following:

Workbook wb = ...

int before = wb.getNumCellStyles();
wb.createCellStyle();
int after = wb.getNumCellStyles();

Both, 'after' and 'before' give 1 for me. I guess this is a bug?

Thanks,
Martin

Looks to be a bug. I've put this in bugzilla as
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49689

Only if you fancy writing the patch! :)

Try creating a file in excel, which is very simple and has for example one
cell with a user defined style name. Unzip the .xlsx file (it's really
just a zip file), and see which bits of xml are involved. That should tell
you the xmlbeans bean to expose, then wrap that with some XSSF usermodel
code. Finally, add a unit test, and upload the patch to bugzilla :)

Cheers
Nick
