I have a need to output a report to CSV.
 
For this emitter I need the table to be at the top level not embedded in a Grid.
 
So I tried the following
 
ReportDesignHandle rDesign = getDesignFile(request,response,designFileTmp.getAbsolutePath());
 
// Get the Object I want to move
TableHandle table1 = (TableHandle)rDesign.findElement("Table_1");
 
 
// Get the grid the table is currently in
DesignElementHandle baseGrid = rDesign.findElement("BaseGrid");
 
// Drop the existing Grid and table
baseGrid.dropAndClear();
 
// Add the table to the body
rDesign.getBody().add( newTable );

But when I try to open this I get a Corrupted file.
So I am missing something.

Turned out to be simpler than I was making it.
 
The Task to make the rptdesign compatible with a CSV render.
The Render requires the "Table" to be at the root of the layout. 
 
My rptdesign has a Tob level Grid (Named TopGrid)

Then the table 
 
===================
 
So want to movew the table (Table_1) to the body. And remove the rest .
 
// So first get a handle on the table to move andf then move it to the body
TableHandle table1 = (TableHandle) rDesign.findElement("Table_1"); 
table1.moveTo(rDesign.getBody().getElementHandle(), 6);
 
// Then remove the remaining stuff
GridHandle topGrid = (GridHandle) rDesign.findElement("TopGrid"); 
topGrid.dropAndClear();
