How to add a row in an emty table

Question

Hi,
I would like to use only one nav bar in a Panel containing 2 JTables. So I bind the nav bar to the JUPanel.
The problem is if one or both of the tables are empty there is no way to add a row, since the JTable doesn't
get the focus and the nav bar stay's grayed out.
What is the best solution for this?
I don't want to have 2 nav bars each bound to the corresponding view.
May be there is a way to have an empty row if there are no rows in the table.
Thanks

One way folks on OTN reported they've worked around this issue is to add an combo implementing iterator picker on the NavBar. Then when they end up in this situation, the users can select the right iterator and add rows to it by binding the navbar to that iterator (which is not focus-able due to no rows in it in a table display).
Another way I would suggest is to trap a mouse-click event on the table and if clicked upon, make the navbar focus on the iterator that the table was bound to.
