I have a piece of example code from a book that I've been working with lately. In this case when a certain combo box changes the table data is refreshed.
Here is how it's done:
if (scrollPane != null)
getContentPane().remove(scrollPane);
try
String tableName= (String)tableNames.getSelectedItem();
if (rs != null) rs.close();
String query = "SELECT * FROM " + tableName;
rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
if (SCROLLABLE)
model = new ScrollingtbSchedule1Model(rs);
else
model = new CachingtbSchedule1Model(rs);
JTable table = new JTable(model);
scrollPane = new JScrollPane(table);
getContentPane().add(scrollPane, "Center");
pack();
doLayout();
catch(SQLException e)
System.out.println("Error " + e);
Notice that the pane is removed and then added again with the new data to force a "refresh".
