afterFactory is invoked after the whole report is finished, It's supposed to be used to release resources.

To verify the invocation, please create a disk file in the callback. Like:
    file = new Packages.java.io.FileOutputStream("d:/testFile");
    file.write(1);
    file.write(2);
    file.close();

Thank you, that worked.

So the problem is using report variables in afterFactory event?
This is not at all clear from the documentation 
http://eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/deploy/reportScripting.php

You can use report variables in afterFactory, but it just can't be reflected in report execution.
