JCheckBox inside a JTable

Question

hai,
i was trying to insert a JCheckBox for one column of the JTable. actually its getting inserted but its not visible. whenever the table is shown, only the value of the check box is visible on that cell, but not the checkbox. only if i click on that corresponding cell, as long as the mouse is pressed, i can view the chk box, but normally only the value is visible.
can anyone please help me in viewing the check box. please do help i'm breaking my head without knowing the reason for this.
Thanx u in advance.
regards,
