How to Copy a value of a String to the RAM memory?

Question

Hi there,
I was wondering how to copy a String into the ram memory (consider you're doing right click on THIS word and choose 'Copy'; the String's Value will be to the ram memory for a later Paste).
In my application, a user has a table and he right click on it and choose Copy. I get the value of the item (Obj) but face dificulties to add it to RAM.
my code looks like this:
          if (obj!=null)  //inside I have the value (say: 12345 --< Obj.toString)
               Action copyAction = TransferHandler.getCopyAction();
               int id = ActionEvent.ACTION_PERFORMED;
               String name =  (String) copyAction.getValue(Action.NAME);
               long l = EventQueue.getMostRecentEventTime();
               copyAction.actionPerformed(new ActionEvent(XXXXXXX, id, name, l ,0));     
                        ///what comes in the XXXXXXX      
          }I tried, instead of the XXXXXXX, to put Obj or Obj.toString but...nothing.
Anyone?

Thanks,
should implement ClipboardOwner
and do this:
              StringSelection stringSelection = new StringSelection( obj.toString() );
              Clipboard clipboard = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard();
              clipboard.setContents( stringSelection, this );
@Override
     public void lostOwnership(Clipboard clipboard, Transferable contents)
          //do nothing!
     }
