Java.awt.IllegalComponentStateException in JTable

Hi folks,
I am trying to write a JTable cell validation. Input data in a cell, if failure, prompt message and set focus & editing back to the cell. I've tried InputVerifier() but it doesn't work since I can easily use the mouse click to shift to other cells in the same table.
What I am trying to do now is to define my DefaultCellEditor. I record the row & index position when getting focus. In the lost focus event, do the validation and set the focus & editing back if failure. Seems it works fine. However, when I randomly click different cells in the table quickly. It prompts:
"java.awt.IllegalComponentStateException: component must be showing on the screen to determine its location"
Here is my stack dump:

Also, enclosed is my modified DefaultCellEditor class. Your input will be greatly appreicated. Thanks.
class NewDefaultCellEditor extends DefaultCellEditor {
public NewDefaultCellEditor(JTextField jTextField) {
super(jTextField);
this.setClickCountToStart(1);
jTextField.addFocusListener(new FocusAdapter() {
JTable tbl;
int row;
int column;
public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) {
tbl = (JTable)((JTextField)e.getSource()).getParent();
row = tbl.getEditingRow();
column = tbl.getEditingColumn();
public void focusLost(FocusEvent e) {
/*** Put validation here, execute the following if failed ***/
tbl.editCellAt(row, column);
((JTextField)e.getSource()).requestFocus();

Your use in a JTable isn't too clear to me, but I feel you're overthinking the basic requirement:
I have an extended JComboBox which is meant to display its information only. Thus it
- does not allow any selection
- shows the first item of the list in the TextField only and not once more in the listI don't see the need for duplicating the model and using a popup menu listener.
import java.awt.Component;
import javax.swing.*;
public class DisplayOnlyComboBoxDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
      @Override
      public void run() {
        new DisplayOnlyComboBoxDemo().makeUI();
public void makeUI() {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame();
    frame.add(new DisplayOnlyComboBox("One", new String[]{"Two", "Three", "Four", "Five"}));
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.pack();
    frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    frame.setVisible(true);
class DisplayOnlyComboBox extends JComboBox {
private String firstItem;
public DisplayOnlyComboBox(String firstItem, String[] items) {
    super(items);
    this.firstItem = firstItem;
    setRenderer(new DefaultListCellRenderer() {
      @Override
      public Component getListCellRendererComponent(JList list, Object value, int index, boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus) {
        super.getListCellRendererComponent(list, value, index, isSelected, cellHasFocus);
        if (index == -1) {
          setText(DisplayOnlyComboBox.this.firstItem);
        return this;
}db

Trying to add a java.awt.Choice object to a JTable

Hi
I am creating an app. which uses a JTable as the front end, displaying string data in all cells except the first column, which I need to make java.awt.Choice objects (or equivalent) - users will click the cell, a list of job numbers will be displayed and they click the one they want.
Every time I run the app instead of a drop down list of job numbers I get the text:
java.awt.Choice[choice0,0,0,0x0,invalid,current=K5000]
I am unsure how to proceed.
Any and all help appreciated - for reference my code at present is:
Choice jobNumber = new Choice();
jobNumber.addItem("K5000");
Object[][] dataValues = {
{jobNumbers[0], "A job title", new Integer(0), new Integer(0), new Integer(8), new Integer(8), new Integer(4), new Integer(0), new Integer(0)},
where the JTable constructor is passed this array
regards
David

Don't mix Swing and AWT!! Have a look at the JTable tutorial on this site.

But whilst that good I would like to know how I can make it tell the user something to the effect of "Your overweight" or "Your underweight". The if statement runs like this:
if (wt > max)This forum doesn't quite handle <> properly. The greater and less than symbols. So above you will see > this is the html character code for a greater than symbol so please read it as such.
And then if wt is greater than max then it will say "Your overweight".
But I can't figure out how to include it in the above program. Becuase it won't run in paint, atleast it won't the way I have done it previously. So can you think of any other ways?
Help much appreciated,

Can I build a GUI application with SWING only without [import java.awt.*;]

I have seen several threads (in forums), books and tutorials about SWING and I see that they all mix SWING with AWT (I mean they import both Swing and AWT in their code).
The conclusion that comes out is:
It is good to learn about SWING and forget AWT as it won't be supported later. I have decided to do so, and I never include <<import java.awt.*;>> in my code.
But I see that you cannot do much without <<import java.awt.*;>>. For example this line which changes the background color:
<<frame.getContentPane().setBackground(Color.red)>>
works only with <<import java.awt.*;>>. I have seen that codes in this and other forums import awt to change the background. Why is that?
After all, I wonder, what can I do;
My question is, can I change the background (and of course do all other things listener, buttons etc) without using <<import java.awt.*;>>.
I would like to avoid using <<import java.awt.*;>> and using awt since my program will not work later.
In addition, I believe there is no point to learn awt, which later will not exist.
I know, I must have misunderstood something. I would appreceate it very much, if anyone could give me even a short answer.
Thank you in advance,
JMelsi

Since swing is a layer on top of awt, AWT will exist for as long as swing does.
If sun does ever remove AWT they will have to replace it something else swing can layer on to and you will probably only have to replace your import statements.
The main difference is the way there drawn to the screen.
You can do custom drawing on swing components but you can't on AWT.
If your using a desktop PC system it's probably best to use swing just in case you wish to do some custom drawing.
awt uses less memory than swing and is faster but swing can be extended. awt comes only as standard.
Say for example you wish to implement a JButton with a ProgressBar below the button text, this can be done with swing!

The method add() in java.awt.Container made me in confuse

Here is my two java code file:
//MyContainer.java
package sam.gui;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import javax.swing.JApplet;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class MyContainer extends JApplet {
 private MyButton[] myButton = new MyButton[2];
 private static int counter = 0;
 public MyContainer() {
 myButton[0] = new MyButton(5, 5, 200, 30);
 myButton[1] = new MyButton(5, 40, 200, 30);
 for (int i = 0; i < myButton.length; i++) {
 add(myButton);
 public void paint(Graphics g) {
 for (int i = 0; i < myButton.length; i++) {
 System.out.println("MyButton : " + (i+1));
 myButton[i].draw(g);
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 MyContainer container = new MyContainer();
 JFrame f = new JFrame();
 f.getContentPane().add(container);
 f.pack();
 f.setSize(new Dimension(300, 200));
 f.show();
//MyButton.java
package sam.gui;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
public class MyButton extends Component {
 private Color m_rectColor = new Color(128, 73, 0);
 public MyButton(int x, int y, int width, int height) {
 setBounds(x, y, width, height);
 public void draw(Graphics g) {
 Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
 g.setColor(m_rectColor);
 g.fillRect(0, 0,
 getBounds().width, getBounds().height);
 System.out.println("x = " + getBounds().x);
 System.out.println("y = " + getBounds().y);
 System.out.println("width = " + getBounds().width);
 System.out.println("height = " + getBounds().height);
I thinked the runned result should be below:
MyButton : 1
x = 5
y = 5
width = 200
height = 30
MyButton : 2
x = 5
y = 40
width = 200
height = 30But in fact, its result is here:
MyButton : 1
x = 5
y = 5
width = 200
height = 30
MyButton : 2
x = 0
y = 0
width = 292
height = 173I don't know why the result would like this? I have used add(...) method to add two component MyButton to the container MyContainer, But the bounds of the second component is not I want.
So this problem made me go into confuse.

You need to learn how layout managers work. The default layout manager of a JApplet and JFrame is BorderLayout .

Using List Class in java.awt / java.util ?

have a program that:
import java.util.*;
List list = new LinkedList();
list = new ArrayList();
... read a file and add elements to array
use a static setter
StaticGettersSetters.setArray(list);
next program:
import java.awt.*;
public static java.util.List queryArray =
StaticGettersSetters.getArray();
If I don't define queryArray with the package and class, the compiler
gives an error that the List class in java.awt is invalid for queryArray.
If I import the util package, import java.util.*; , the compiler
gives an error that the list class is ambiguous.
Question:
If you using a class that exists in multiple packages, is the above declaration of queryArray the only way to declare it ?
Just curious...
Thanks for your help,
YAM-SSM

So what you have to do is explicitly tell the compiler which one you really want by spelling out the fully-resolved class name:
import java.awt.*;
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.*;
public class ClashTest
    public static void main(String [] args)
        java.util.Date today    = new java.util.Date();
        java.util.List argsList = Arrays.asList(args);
        System.out.println(today);
        System.out.println(argsList);
}No problems here. - MOD

Custom graphics in java.awt.ScrollPane

Hi all,
I have to draw a custom created image in a scroll pane. As the image is very large I want to display it in a scroll pane. As parts of the image may change within seconds, and drawing the whole image is very time consuming (several seconds) I want to draw only the part of the image that is currently visible to the user.
My idea: creating a new class that extends from java.awt.ScrollPane, overwrite the paint(Graphics) method and do the drawings inside. Unfortunately, it does not work. The background of the scoll pane is blue, but it does not show the red box (the current viewport is not shown in red).
Below please find the source code that I am using:
package graphics;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.ScrollPane;
import java.awt.event.AdjustmentEvent;
public class CMyComponent extends ScrollPane {
 /** Listener to force a component to repaint when a scroll bar changes its
 * position.
 private final class ScrollBarAdjustmentListener implements java.awt.event.AdjustmentListener {
 /** The component to force to repaint. */
 private final Component m_Target;
 /** Default constructor.
 * @param Target The component to force to repaint.
 private ScrollBarAdjustmentListener(Component Target) { m_Target = Target; }
 /** Forces to component to repaint upon adjustment of the scroll bar.
 * @see java.awt.event.AdjustmentListener#adjustmentValueChanged(java.awt.event.AdjustmentEvent)
 public void adjustmentValueChanged(AdjustmentEvent e) { m_Target.paint(m_Target.getGraphics()); }
 public CMyComponent() {
 // Ensure that the component repaints upon changing of the scroll bars
 ScrollBarAdjustmentListener sbal = new ScrollBarAdjustmentListener(this);
 getHAdjustable().addAdjustmentListener(sbal);
 getVAdjustable().addAdjustmentListener(sbal);
 public void paint(Graphics g) {
 setBackground(Color.BLUE);
 g.setColor(Color.RED);
 g.fillRect(getScrollPosition().x, getScrollPosition().y, getViewportSize().width, getViewportSize().height);
 public final static void main(String[] args) {
 java.awt.Frame f = new java.awt.Frame();
 f.add(new CMyComponent());
 f.pack();
 f.setVisible(true);
}

Dear all,
I used the last days and tried several things. I think now I have a quite good working solution (just one bug remains) and it is very performant. To give others a chance to see what I have done I post the source code of the main class (a canvas drawing and implementing scrolling) here. As soon as the sourceforge project is accepted, I will publish the whole sources at there. Enjoy. And if you have some idea for my last bug in getElementAtPixel(Point), then please tell me.

}Ah, just to give you some idea: I use this component to visualize a hex grid map with more than 1 million grid elements. And it works, really fast, and requires less than 10 MByte of memory.

Useless code in java.awt.image.SampleModel.java?

Hey there,
i just looked up the sourcecode of java.awt.image.SampleModel.java in JDK 6
I discovered two issues i'd like to discuss.
1) on lines 736 to 739 this code is stated:
if (iArray != null)
pixels = iArray;
else
pixels = new int[numBands * w * h];
I asked myself, why does this code exist? while the getPixels() method is overwritten twice by double[] getPixels() and float[] getPixels, it is impossible to reach the part of the java code that initializes the pixels-array. One could only step into that line if "null" is given for the i/d/fArray-parameter. but if one would do so, the Java parser couldn't determine, which method is to use. so this part of code is just useless IMHO.
the java developers could get a little more performance out of this method if the if statement would be cut out - especially when reading a lot of very small rasters
or, on the other hand, they could replace this piece of code by an explicit bounds check.
When somebody touches this code, i would appreciate it if the errormessage "index out of bounds!" could be rewritten to be a little more verbose, like: Index out of bounds(x=123; y=456, maxX=100, maxY=400)!(numbers are just examples)
I hope i didn't miss something very basic and could help improving this class a little bit.
2) the local variable Offset(line 734) is coded against code conventions which say, variables shall start with a lowercase letter. Offset obviously doesn't fit that convention.
best regards
kdot

One could only step into that line if "null" is given for the i/d/fArray-parameter. but if one would do so, the Java parser couldn't determine, which method is to use. so this part of code is just useless IMHO. You can have
sampleModel.getPixels(x,y,w,h,(int[]) null, dataBuffer);No ambiguity on which method to use.
the local variable Offset(line 734) is coded against code conventions which say, variables shall start with a lowercase letter. Offset obviously doesn't fit that convention. You're correct, offset is against coding conventions. So are many other examples scattered throughout the jdk source code. For example, Hashtable should be called HashTable. In some cases the coding conventions might not have been established when the original code was written. In other cases it might have been human error. In yet other cases the conventions were probably ignored. The person who wrote the SampleModel class did so some 10+ years ago (Java 1.2). Who knows what he/she was thinking at the time, and in all honesty - does it really matter in this case?
Did you know there are some classes that declare unused local variables (ahem ColorConvertOp)? Some also have unused imports ( *** cough *** BufferedImage *** cough *** ). In essence, the jdk source code is not the epidemy of code correctness. But it's still pretty good.

OutOfMemory error in java.awt.image.DataBufferInt. init

We have an applet application that performs Print Preview of the images in the canvas. The images are like a network of entities (it has pictures of the entities involve (let's say Person) and how it links to other entities). We are using IE to launch the applet.
We set min heap space to 128MB, JVM max heap space to 256MB, java plugin max heap space to 256MB using the Control Panel > Java.
When the canvas width is about 54860 and height is 1644 and perform Print Preview, it thows an OutOfMemoryError in java.awt.image.DataBufferInt.<int>, hence, the Print Preview page is not shown. The complete stack trace (and logs) is as follows:
Width: 54860 H: 1644
Max heap: 254 # using Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory()
javaplugin.maxHeapSize: 256M # using System.getProperties("javaplugin.maxHeapSize")

Drilling down the cause of the problem. The OutOfMemory occurred in the constructor of DataBufferInt when it tried to create an int array:
public DataBufferInt(int size) {
super(STABLE, TYPE_INT, size);
data = new int[size]; # this part produce out of memory error when size = width X height
bankdata = new int[1][];
bankdata[0] = data;
The OutOfMemory error occurred when size is width * height (54860 X 1644) which is 90,189,840 bytes (~86MB).
I can replicate the OutOfMemory error when initiating an int array using a test class when it uses the default max heap space but if I increase the heap space to 256MB, it cannot be replicated in the test class.
Using a smaller width and height with product not exceeding 64MB, the applet can perform Print Preview successfully.
Given this, I think the java applet is not using the value assigned in javaplugin.maxHeapSize to set the max heap space, hence, it still uses the default max heap size and throws OutOfMemory in int array when size exceeds the default max heap space which is 64MB.
For additional information, below is some of the java properties (when press S in java applet console):
browser = sun.plugin
browser.vendor = Sun Microsystems, Inc.
browser.version = 1.1
java.awt.graphicsenv = sun.awt.Win32GraphicsEnvironment

javaplugin.vm.options = -Xms128M -Djavaplugin.maxHeapSpace=256M -Xmx256m -Xms128M
javawebstart.version = javaws-1.6.0_17
Kindly advise if this is a bug in JRE or wrong setting. If wrong setting, please advise on the proper way to set the heap space to prevent OutOfMemory in initializing int array.
Thanks a lot.

I assumed that one element in the int array is 1 byte. ..Your assumption is wrong. How could it be possible to store 32 bits (4 bytes) in 8 bits (1 byte)? (a)

DataFlavors in java.awt.datatransfer

Hello
I'm in the process of developing an application that manages the clipboard . The program runs in the "SystemTray" using the java Toolkit , on the user's request the application takes the content of the clipboard and sends it to other computers on the network that has the program and puts them in the client;s clipboard , that way the user only has to use the copy/paste functions much like if the data was resided on the computer .So far i was able to manage for pictures ,plain text and String selections , the problem is in File selections , now the "JavaFileList" flavor returns an "ArrayList" containing a String representation of the path of each file , which makes it impossible for the client to copy the content to this clipboard unless he has the same directory naming on his computer.I tried implementing a different File Selection that takes each single file as an instance of java.io.File and adds them to a vector , but still the program returns an "ArrayList" with the paths as strings ,i wanted to know should I write a new DataFlavor different than the "JavaFileListFlavor" or the error resides some where else because it worked for images , done by implementing an ImageSelection class much like the StringSelection already given by java.awt.datatransfer.
Thank you for your collaboration.
Edited by: Wafic1 on May 14, 2009 8:36 PM

Strings and arrays are actually stored in the clipboard in their binary representation - and thus they can be copied easily. Files however exist as a pointer to the actual file content on the hard disk. If you copy the reference to a 4GB iso to the clipboard, you will obviously not copy the entire file.
If you want to copy the file, you will have to do it manually. You can either store small files in the clipboard by reading them to byte[]s (implementing your own data flavor), or you can use URIs (if you have some means of the target machine accessing the source machines, such as smb or ftp).
By the way, didn't you already post this question before?

Cool, I glad it's working. And thanks for the kind words (although

Bug in java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D.contains method

I cannot understand why not awt.geom.Rectangle2D.contains() return the right value??? Or maybe i don�t understand it properly. Check out this code snippet
import java.awt.geom.*;
public class Test
 public static void main(String[] args)
 //Rectangle has a width of 2 and a height of 2 and starts drawing on cordinate 1,1
 Rectangle2D rect = new Rectangle2D.Double(1,1,2,2);
 if (rect.contains(1,3))
 System.out.println("The cordinate is inside rectangle");
 else
 System.out.println("The cordinate is NOT NOT NOT inside rectangle");
}The cordinate (1,3) is clearly contained in the rectangle or not?
When you change the cordinate to (1,1) the method works correctly, so why diesn�t it work right with the cordinate (1,3). Can somebody please enlight me?

The cordinate (1,3) is clearly contained in the rectangle or not?Actually, it's a matter of opinion whether a point on the perimeter of a shape is considered contained in the shape or not. This is the implementation of java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D.contains (double x, double y) public boolean contains(double x, double y) {
 double x0 = getX();
 double y0 = getY();
 return (x >= x0 &&
 y >= y0 &&
 x < x0 + getWidth() &&
 y < y0 + getHeight());
 }As can be seen from the code, the design team adopted a philosophy of returning false for coordinates that lie along the bottom and right sides of the Rectangle.
If you require different behavior, you can always extend Rectangle2D.Double and override the methodimport java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D;
public class Test extends Rectangle2D.Double {
 public Test (double x, double y, double w, double h) {
 super (x, y, w, h);
 public boolean contains (double x, double y) {
 double x0 = getX ();
 double y0 = getY ();
 return (x >= x0 &&
 y >= y0 &&
 x <= x0 + getWidth () &&
 y <= y0 + getHeight ());
 public static void main (String[] args) {
 //Rectangle has a width of 2 and a height of 2 and starts drawing on cordinate 1,1
 Rectangle2D rect = new Test (1, 1, 2, 2);
 //Rectangle2D rect = new Rectangle2D.Double (1, 1, 2, 2);
 if (rect.contains (1,3))
 System.out.println ("The cordinate is inside rectangle");
 else
 System.out.println ("The cordinate is NOT inside rectangle");

Focus in java.awt.robot

A couple of hours ago I read about java.awt.robot and I thought it was really cool.
Right now I have a working code that presses a couple of key and uses a listener to put them in the "messages" area of Borland JBuilder.
Is there any way to get these keys to be typed globally?
(ie. other programs read them as if the user was typing them.)
I haven't had much time to test out things like focus of the programs or messing with priorities in the task manager but any help would be appreciated =]
BTW, this isnt a hacking thing....just trying to make a program to automate tasks on my computer :)
~Thanks

Is there any way to get these keys to be typed
globally? Sure. The keys typed by robot can be received by other non-java apps.
I haven't had much time to test out things like focus
of the programs or messing with priorities in theor what about focus? Using the robot it's just like you'd normally focus on something; you click.
task manager but any help would be appreciated =]priorities in the task manager? In general you can't do anything in java about how the task manager prioritizes jobs. You can make your own internal threads higher or lower priority tho.

Problem in java.awt.print

Hi here is my code .
I am generating page dynamically and passing to printer.
Printing Functionalities working file. But I am taking some data from database (Access). And in this code for example i have 4 records in Database and i am generating 4 pages (each page for resord).
I am getting only 2 records. And for other two records i am getting blank page.
Reason is My ResultSet object is moving to next record twice.
I mean if i have 6 records i get only 3 pages.
If i have 10 records i get only 5 pages and If i have 1 record i dont get any page.
How shall i solve this problem.
Thanx in advance.

I am not sure this..
Instead of if pls give while and check:
try{
while(rsValue.next()) {
g.setFont(fntHeading);
g.setColor(Color.red);
g.drawString("Main Report",200,100);
