JTree Selection Events

Question

Hello,
I like to initially expand a tree and select the first data item in it. It should then execute all events as it would when the user opens the tree with mouse clicks and selects a sub-item.
This is my code:
In the constuctor of the container of the tree control I do:
public OperationSplitTreeSoftDist()
initTree();
fillTree();
protected final void initTree()
// setup tree renderers etc......
// setup events
setupTreeEvents();
private void setupTreeEvents()
mTree.addTreeSelectionListener(new TreeSelectionListener()
     public void valueChanged(TreeSelectionEvent e)
System.out.println("Tree selection event received!");
....... // other things done here
private void fillTree()
..... // executing sql query and filling resultset in tree
mTree.expandRow(0);
mTree.setSelectionRow(1);
In the last two rows above I expand the root of the tree and select the first row of the expanded tree. This works fine but the EVENTS (TreeSelectionListener) are NOT fired! My implementation of the Selection Listener executes another query on a database server and fills the results in a table. This is only called AFTER mouse clicks, the programmatically selected first row does NOT fire selection events!!
Is there any way of firing selection events PROGRAMMATICALLY??
Many thanks for your help.

You would laugh if I say it :)
My code was throwing an Exception becoz of the index in substring function.
To put in simple terms, careless programming. and my mind had gone for a walk...I wasn;t able to figure out where the problem lied :)
anyways, let me know if you have problems with yoru code. I would like to know about it, and if possible..I will try solving it as well :)
