Can't fire cancelled editing event in a JTable

Question

Hi,
I have a JTable and I'm listening to it's cell editor events editing canceled and editing stopped.
When editing is stopped i verify the value of the cell and if it's not valid i throw a warning message, then select I the cell and turn its editing on in order to give user a new chance.
It works fine, but, when I enter an invalid value onto a cell and press ok, then the warning pops up (as desired), i accept it and then I pres the Esc key, it just places the last value for that cell, which was the same invalid string (due to editing was stopped and I turned it on again), not even the "editing is canceled" event is called in order to place the last valid value for that cell.
Don't know what I'm doing wrong since "editing stopped" event is working fine.
Does anyone know how to fire the "editing canceled" event when Esc key is pressed?
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I found the following way to force cancel editing event (or just treat the event here)
Do you know a better way?
Thanks!
// Handle escape key on a JTable
Action escapeAction2 = new AbstractAction()
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
if (table.isEditing())
int row = table.getEditingRow();
int col = table.getEditingColumn();
table.getCellEditor(row, col).cancelCellEditing();
KeyStroke escape = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE, 0, false);
table.getInputMap(JTable.WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT).put(escape, "ESCAPE");
table.getActionMap().put("ESCAPE", escapeAction2);
