Creating custom cell factories

Question

I can't quite figure out how to create a cell factory properly. In short, this is what I'm doing (for a Boolean column):
        existsInCustTable.setCellFactory(new Callback<TableColumn<Actor, Boolean>, TableCell<Actor, Boolean>>() {
            public TableCell<Actor, Boolean> call(TableColumn<Actor, Boolean> p) {
                return new TableCell<Actor, Boolean>() {
                    @Override
                    public void updateItem(Boolean item, boolean empty) {
                        super.updateItem(item, empty);
                        System.out.println(item + ", " + empty);
                        if (item != null) setText(item.toString());
        });This should (from my understanding) just recreate the default implementation, but it doesn't: I get all blank fields even though there are data in the table, and it prints "null, true" for all items.
What am I doing wrong?

Well - I can't see all your code - but did you set the CellValueFactory? This is the beast that actualy propagates a "value" from your TableView model, when updated, to the updateItem method call....
something like
existsInCustTable.setCellValueFactory(
                new PropertyValueFactory<Actor, Boolean>("MyBooleanPropertyName"));If this isn't it - please post all your code
