Fixed Column and Scrollable JTable problems

Question

I've implemented a table that has the first column fixed, while 2nd to end are scrollable.
following the fixedModel examples, i am able to get this working..but im not able to update it. the exmples tho, subclass AbstractTableModel and use anonymous classes to define it...mine uses a class that subclasses DefaultTableModel..but DefaultTableModel subclasses AbstractTableModel...so i think it should be ok.
i have 2 table models, one for the fixed, and one for the scrollable..they use the same data/column arrays...then i create 2 tables that with these models...
initially i have no data Object[][] data = new Object[0][0]) and a bunch of column names
it works fine..but i have trouble updating it with real data
i use fixedModel.setDataVector(...) and scrollModel.setDataVector(...) to update...but it doesnt work..i dont get any exceptions or anything..just nothing comes up...revalidating the tables doesnt work
if i choose not to use the fixed/scrollable tables..and just use one normal table with setDataVector..it works fine
any ideas?
heres the code:
fixedModel = new SortableTableModel() {
    /*  for sorting to work correctly  */
    public Class getColumnClass(int col) {
       return getValueAt(0, col).getClass();
    public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col) {
        return false;
    //new methods
    public int getColumnCount() {
        return 1;
    public int getRowCount() {
        return data.length;
    public String getColumnName(int col) {
        return (String)columnNames[col];
    public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) {
        return data[row][0];
fixedModel.setDataVector(data,columnNames);
scrollModel = new SortableTableModel() {
    public Class getColumnClass(int col) {
        return getValueAt(0, col).getClass();
    public boolean CellEditable(int row, int col) {
        return false;
    //new methods
    public int getColumnCount() {
        return columnNames.length -1;
    public int getRowCount() {
        return data.length;
    public String getColumnName(int col) {
        return (String)columnNames[col+1];
    public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) {
        return data[row][col+1];
    public void setValueAt(Object obj, int row, int col) {
        data[row][col +1] = obj;
scrollModel.setDataVector(data, columnNames);
ListSelectionModel lsm = fixedTable.getSelectionModel();
lsm.addListSelectionListener(new SelectionListener(true));
lsm = scrollTable.getSelectionModel();
lsm.addListSelectionListener(new SelectionListener(false));
fixedTable.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
scrollTable.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
JViewport viewport = new JViewport();
viewport.setView(fixedTable);
viewport.setPreferredSize(fixedTable.getPreferredSize());i really need to get this fixed..thanks for the help!

Answer 1

i fixed the problem a couple days ago
my anonymous class for the fixed and scrollable table models defines the data given from a 2D Object array..and not a vector of vectors, which i was using when setting the data :P
oops...
thanks for the help tho.
