JTabbedPane : Wrong tab is updated

Question

Hi,
I have a JTabbedPane, which has tabs that are added when an user selects a tree-node. Each tab has a split-pane where the top has a few text fields where criteria is entered, and the bottom displays a JTable with respective information. The JTable has a model associated with it.
Now, if i open Tab1 and enter some criteria press OK, the table is shown. I then open Tab2 enter some-other criteria and press OK, a table is displayed and data is shown. NOW i go BACK to TAB1 and enter criteria in the Tab1 criteria field and press OK, i expect that the table on TAB1 is updated, BUT the table on TAB2 is updated!!!!
JtabbedPane
--> addTab( )
--> the split pane is added to the JPanel and then the OkButton is added with its own okAction that goes with it.
--> this okAction calls a model associated with it, which inturn adds data and the JTable to the split pane in the tab.
What i think is happening is that when i go back to a previuosly opened tab,the focus is still on the last tab opened! may be i am wrong, i cant seem to understand why this is happening...
any idea, pointers, or an example on the same lines would help.
thank you,

Hi,
Thank You for trying to help...
I recreate the whole table allover again I KNOW it is a waste and i should do it in a better fashion, your question just enlightened me to this fact.
The code you asked for is below, let me know what i can do differently.
Thank You!
public void addTab(String transName, String[] criteria) {
          this.transType = transName;
          AppendDataModel appModel = new AppendDataModel(this);
          this.okAction = new OkAction(appModel);
          addTab(transName, null, addInfoToTab(transName, criteria, appModel), criteria[0]);
private Component addInfoToTab(String transactionType, String[] criteria, AppendDataModel appModel){
          JPanel criteriaPanel = new JPanel();
          createCriteria(criteriaPanel, criteria, appModel);
          splitPane = new JSplitPane(JSplitPane.VERTICAL_SPLIT);
          splitPane.setTopComponent(criteriaPanel);
          splitPane.setDividerLocation(200); //XXX: ignored in some releases
          splitPane.setAutoscrolls(true);
          return splitPane;
private JPanel createCriteria(JPanel criteriaPanel, String[] criteria, AppendDataModel appModel) {
          int len = criteria.length;
          criteriaFields = new JTextField[len];
          for (int i = 1; i < len; i++) {
               criteriaFields[i-1] = addCompForTextField(criteria, criteriaPanel, gbc);
          appModel.storeDataToModel(transType, criteriaFields);
          JButton okButton = new JButton(okAction);
          okButton.setToolTipText("Press Ok AFTER you have entered the criteria if you want to narrow your search");
          criteriaPanel.add(okButton);
          return criteriaPanel;
