Celleditor in jtable depending on value in other cell

Question

here is the situation:
I have a jtable with 2 columns (colA en colB). colA can have 5 different values. For every value that colA can contain colB should be edited in a different way. For example:
colA value: val1 --> colB editor: defaultcelleditor (jtextfield1);
colA value: val2 --> colB editor: customcelleditor (jtextfield1);
colA value: val3 --> colB editor: customcelleditor (jcombobox1);
I already tried it this way:
class customJTable  extends JTable
// .... some code, constructors, ....
public  TableCellEditor getCellEditor()
        if (getValueAt(row,col).equals("val1"))
             return new DefaultCellEditor(jtextfield1);
        else if (getValueAt(row,col).equals("val2"))
          return new customCellEditor(jtextfield1);
          else
             return newDefaultCellEditor("jtextfield1");
public class customCellEditor extends DefaultCellEditor
  // cell editor code
}if i use this code the jtable doesn't adapt the celleditor and uses the celleditor default in jtable. A second problem is that the celleditor isn't removed when editing is stopped
any help would be greatly appreciated

ps: i use jdk 1.4.2

super, it works like a charm with the defaultcelleditor. thx a lot.
But i have a problem with my onw celleditor. When the editing of the cell is stopped the editor isn't removed. I think i've already read something on the forum about a bug in celleditorremover... I will look it up. ..
public class OverwriteDefaultCellEditor extends DefaultCellEditor
       public OverwriteDefaultCellEditor(JTextField textField) {
             super(textField);
      public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(
      JTable table,
      Object value,
      boolean isSelected,
      int row,
      int column)
      ((JTextField)getComponent()).setText(value.toString());
      ((JTextField)getComponent()).selectAll();
      return getComponent();
