DO NOT REPLY [Bug 49907] New: Inconsistent behaviour between HSSF and XSSF when creating consecutive names

[bu...@apache.org]

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49907

           Summary: Inconsistent behaviour between HSSF and XSSF when
                    creating consecutive names
           Product: POI
           Version: 3.7-dev
          Platform: PC
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HSSF
        AssignedTo: dev@poi.apache.org
        ReportedBy: martin.studer@mirai-solutions.com


Consider the following code:

Workbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook();
wb.createName();
wb.createName();

This fails for HSSF with the following error message:
"You are trying to assign a duplicated name record: "

For XSSFWorkbook's there is no problem.


It's not quite clear to me which behaviour is more appropriate...

POI: 3.7-build2
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Java: 1.6.0_20 64-bit

Strictly speaking your code snippet does not make sense. Name's name and
formula MUST be set, otherwise Excel will complain on unreadable content.  

However, it should be possible to create two consecutive names and initialize
them later:

Workbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook(); //or new XSSFWorkook()
Name name1 = wb.createName();
Name name2 = wb.createName();

name1.setNameName("sale_1");
name1.setRefersToFormula(1);

name2.setNameName("sale_2");
name2.setRefersToFormula(2);


The following code works in XSSF but fails in HSSF - checking uniqueness of
names in HSSF is too aggressive. Both should allow creating a pool of names and
initialize them later. 

I committed the fix in r996136. 

Thanks,
Yegor
