Combo selection - Trouble

Question

Hi guys,
Have made a small test application to tell my problem.
Have rendered a table with a comboBox.Everything works fine,the way I wanted it to be, apart from the following things.
[1]
When the user Doubleclicks on one of the combocells,the comboitem in the combobox is already displayed on the tablecell.I dont want it to be like that.
I want the comboitem to be displayed on the tablecell only when the user explicitly goes and selects the comboitem.If the user doublciks on the cell as said before,the old cell value should remain.
[2]
How to catch a combo close up event when the user explicitly selects an item from the combo.Because I want to do something when the user does so....
see Pic:

Iam attaching the code(running) also along with this....
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

[2] - Use a TableModelListener - whenever the data in the cell is changed a TableModel event is fired.
