JScrollPane not scrolling to the end of JTable

Question

Hello,
I put a table in a scroll pane, and add the scroll pane to a panel. The problem is the scroll pane does not scroll to the end of the table, it always lets me view only the first 37 rows of the table, regardless of how many rows the table actually has. Basically, the scroll pane thinks the table has exactly the same height, no matter how many lines it has. Why is this happening?
The code is something like
model = new SearchResultTableModel(false, null, null);
table = new ResultTable(model);
scrollPane = new JScrollPane(table);
mainBox.add(scrollPane);
If this is important, the table is a bit more complicated, I subclass JTable, use a custom TableModel, several types of cell renderers / editors, so maybe this is why it behaves so strange. How could I tell the scroll pane the table is actually larger?
Thank you very much, any ideas are highly appreciated,
Regards from Romania,
Adi

Hi,
fireTableDataChanged() is the easiest way to do it, but also that one, that forces JTable to rerender all visible cells, regardless the fact, that they are already displayed and would not need rerendering - if you add a row - for example row 7 - do fireTableRowsInserted(7,7); instead - so JTable will only render this single row if it is visible in the viewport. If you add a couple of rows, for example row 7 to 227, do fireTableRowsInserted(7,227); - always fire only the correct notifications accordingly to the changes you make, in order to keep the performance of JTable high.
