JTable data entry

Question

Hi,
When I asked my question in the "New to Java" forum, I was redirected here. Here is my question:
I've just created my first JTable (inside a JScrollpane, inside a JPanel, inside a JFrame). It seems to work ok, except that when I type data into cells, the data in the last cell I edit isn't saved to the model when I "leave" the table unless I hit return after typing it in or click somewhere else in the table before "leaving." And occasionally, I forget to do that. (After all, the table looks right after I'm done typing.)
When I do leave the table, it's usually to press a JButton that calls a method that does a few calculations and inserts a new blank row into the model at row index 1. Ideally, I'd like that when I hit that JButton, it forces the JTable to update the model with the data typed and pending in the last cell I edited, even if I have forgotten to hit return or click someplace else first.
Is there a way to force that pending data to be saved?
Jim

When you create your table you add the following, then you don't need to worry about using the above code for every component on your GUI.
table.putClientProperty("terminateEditOnFocusLost", Boolean.TRUE);
