Subset of JTable?

Hi there,
I am trying to print a JTable. Because it doesn't fit on the page I would like to get a subset of the JTable (e.g. coloms 2 .. 3 and rows 15 .. 35). I know all the data is in the tablemodel, but i really would like a subset of the table since this one also contains all the information about size, width, rendering etc. Is it possible to obtains a new jtable with just these coloms and rows? And if so, how?
Thanks in advance

Rene-Peter,
From the table model you will be able to get the data at run time. You could write an individual method which would take the row and column data. The implementation of this method would contain creation of the JTable along with the table model and as per the specifications required (like columns, row, rendering, cell editors etc). The return type of this method would be a JTable instance, which is your requirement. This method could be called whereever/whenver you would require the JTable instance at runtime.
I could think of this logic. Probably there could be bettter solutions. I 'm not aware of the api which would give you the JTable as you require. However the above logic will work. I hope this gives you an idea.

  • Editing a JTable Feild (setValueAt)

    Hi, I have a series of tables that each pull different data from a database and then desplay the data to the user. The user has the ability to update the shown data by editing the field(s) displayed in the table. To complete the update, I want to error check their change (to make sure they didn't leave the field blank for example) and then I want to update the database before allowing the new value to be the one that's shown in the table. In other words if error checking or updating the database result in an error, an error message is displayed and the origional value is left in the "updated" field.
    What I was doing to accomplish this was adding a custom Table Model to each table with error checking code in the setValueAt method of the Table Model.
    Now, I want a standard table model that all of my tables use to reduce the number of classes I have from 1 frame, x number of table models to 1 frame, 1 table model. The problem I'm having is, by standardizing the table model, I have to remove all error checking and database updates as they are unique to each individual table. I've tryed to add TableModelListeners to my frame but I found out that the TableModelListener is executed after the setValueAt in the Table Model. This won't work for me as, while I can error check and update the newly changed data, if there is an error, I can't revert back to what was previously displayed without recalling the database.
    I guess what my questions are are: What can I do to stop setValueAt from running until after I've error checked. Also, what tells the table/table model about the end of an edit and calls setValueAt in the first place?
    Any help would be wonderful. Thanks in advance!

    what I think you should do is this: extend this class (which i found on the sun site) and extend it for your needs.
    the idea is to have a model as a proxy of the real model - this model holds a different model inside it and before activiating it it can do stuff, meaning - before call the "real" setValueAt you can do error checking.
    I'm also adding the SortModel which I found to be very helpful - it allows you to sort any table with 0 code. (and it's a nice example to how to use the TableMap class.
    all the luck to you.
    btw, you will still have as many tableModels, just smaller in code.

  • JTable and ResultSet TableModel with big resultset

    Hi, I have a question about JTable and a ResultSet TableModel.
    I have to develop a swing JTable application that gets the data from a ResultSetTableModel where the user can update the jtable data.
    The problem is the following:
    the JTable have to contain the whole data of the source database table. Currently I have defined a
    a TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE & CONCUR_UPDATABLE statement.
    The problem is that when I execute the query the whole ResultSet is "downloaded" on the client side application (my jtable) and I could receive (with big resultsets) an "out of memory error"...
    I have investigate about the possibility of load (in the client side) only a small subset of the resultset but with no luck. In the maling lists I see that the only way to load the resultset incrementally is to define a forward only resultset with autocommit off, and using setFetchSize(...). But this solution doesn't solve my problem because if the user scrolls the entire table, the whole resultset will be downloaded...
    In my opinion, there is only one solution:
    - create a small JTable "cache structure" and update the structure with "remote calls" to the server ...
    in other words I have to define on the server side a "servlet environment" that queries the database, creates the resultset and gives to the jtable only the data subsets that it needs... (alternatively I could define an RMI client/server distribuited applications...)
    This is my solution, somebody can help me?
    Are there others solutions for my problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    Stefano

    The database table currently is about 80000 rows but the next year will be 200000 and so on ...
    I know that excel has this limit but my JTable have to display more data than a simple excel work sheet.
    I explain in more detail my solution:
    whith a distribuited TableModel the whole tablemodel data are on the server side and not on the client (jtable).
    The local JTable TableModel gets the values from a local (limited, 1000rows for example) structure, and when the user scroll up and down the jtable the TableModel updates this structure...
    For example: initially the local JTable structure contains the rows from 0 to 1000;
    the user scroll down, when the cell 800 (for example) have to be displayed the method:
    getValueAt(800,...)
    is called.
    This method will update the table structure. Now, for example, the table structure will contain data for example from row 500 to row 1500 (the data from 0 to 499 are deleted)
    In this way the local table model dimension will be indipendent from the real database table dimension ...
    I hope that my solution is more clear now...
    under these conditions the only solutions that can work have to implement a local tablemodel with limited dimension...
    Another solution without servlet and rmi that I have found is the following:
    update the local limited tablemodel structure quering the database server with select .... limit ... offset
    but, the select ... limit ... offset is very dangerous when the offset is high because the database server have to do a sequential scan of all previuous records ...
    with servlet (or RMI) solution instead, the entire resultset is on the server and I have only to request the data from the current resultset from row N to row N+1000 without no queries...
    Thanks

  • Simplify JTable with JavaBeans

    Here's the problem. It seems like I write the same code over and over when I work with JTables. I have a set of objects that I want to display in a JTable where the columns are their instance members or some subset of them. JTable is very flexible and cool, but it's sooo cumbersome to work with causually. Can JavaBeans simplify this?
    I've written some reusable parts that have reduced my overhead in writing a GUI code. I used to write a TableModel, a ColumnModel, another Sorting TableModel, and a JTable. Now all I have to do is write a single ColumnModel that knows about what fields that I want to display out of an object. But, I was wondering if JTable already had something like this if your object was a JavaBean. I looked in java.bean package, and found some classes that could be used like my special ColumnModel, but I couldn't find anything in JTable or other parts of Swing that would work in displaying JavaBeans. Any ideas?
    thanks

    ps I saw the post on MITable. Looks cool, but I don't think it's free.

    As soon as I'll have found some sponsor it would be free software.

  • How do I get at a JTable on a JInternalFrame?

    I've been working on this Multiple Document Interface application, and things have been great up to this point. The user chooses to run a "report" and then selects an entity to get the info for. I then hit the database. Each row returned from the database query goes into it's own data object, which is added to an ArrayList in my custom table model, and that ArrayList is used to generate the JTable, which is then added to a ScrollPane, which is then added to the JInternalFrame, which is then added to the JDesktop pane. Good stuff, right?
    I'm now trying to add Print functionality, and I'm at a loss. What I want to do is have the user do the standard File->Print, which will print out the JTable on the currently selected inner frame. I can get a JTable to print using JTable.print(). What I can't do is find a way to get the JTable from the selected frame.
    I can get the selected frame using desktop.getSelectedFrame(), but I'm at a loss as to what to do next. I've played around with .getComponent, but I'm not having any luck. the components returned don't seem to do me any good...for example, JViewPort?
    Am I going about this the wrong way? Have I poorly designed this? Am I missing the obvious?
    Thanks,
    -Adam

    Well, if you only have a single component on the internal frame then you can use getComponent(0). But then you need to go up the parent chain to get the actual table. You will initially get the JScrollPane, then use that to get the JViewport and then use that to get the viewport component.
    Another option is to extend the JInternalFrame class and insted using the add method to add a component you create get/setTable(...) methods. Then you can save the table as a class variable before adding it the scrollpane and adding the scrollpane to the internal frame.

  • JTable - Can I change the color of the text on a row by row basis?

    Hi All,
    I'm redoing a bit of old uni coursework (to model a stockmarket, stock ticker server & stock ticker application) to brush up my Java skills (esp Swing and Event Handling) and am programming the UI by hand using Swing (its the only way to learn something....(I've certianly nailed Layout Management!!))
    In the stocktickerserver GUI I'm using a JTable to display the details about stocks.
    The user can select a stock and view the details of the stock in another frame. In one panel in the JFrame I've got a JTable listing the history items for the stock (Price, Change, Date).
    Is it possible to color the rows of the JTable according to the value of the change column (or at least the value I insert there)?
    e.g
    if (change > 0){
    Blue;
    else{
    if (change < 0){
    Red;
    else{
    Green;
    I'm completly ignorant on how to achieve this (or even if its possible at all) so all your ideas welcome.
    Any help much appreciated
    Pete
    P.S.
    The Stock History is a class that I store in a [private] Vector in the Stock Class.
    For the selected Stock I loop through this vector getting the items (using various accessor methods)
    I extract the values from the return StockHistory object and build a DefaultTableModel from these
    Then I call JTable.setModel(theModel) to build the table

    implement TableCellRenderer and change foreground of the Renderer in the method getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) . Install this renderer to your table.

    Use the addColumnSelectionInterval(int index1, int index2)method ~ http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/javax/swing/JTable.html#addColumnSelectionInterval(int,%20int)
    and the addRowSelectionInterval(int index1, int index2) method ~ http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/javax/swing/JTable.html#addRowSelectionInterval(int,%20int)
    Hope that helped.

  • Create a JTable based on an ArrayList containing instances of a class.

    I have a class, IncomeBudgetItem, instances of which are contained in an ArrayList. I would like to create a JTable, based on this ArrayList. One variable is a string, while others are type double. Not all variables are to appear in the JTable.
    The internal logic of my program is already working. And my GUI is largely constructed. I'm just not sure how to make them talk to each other. The actually creation of the JTable is my biggest problem right now.

  • URGENT HELP NEEDED FOR JTABLE PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    firstly i made a jtable to adds and deletes rows and passes the the data to the table model from some textfields. then i wanted to add a tablemoselistener method in order to change the value in the columns 1,2,3,4 and set the result of them in the column 5. when i added that portion of code the buttons that added and deleted rows had problems to function correctly..they dont work at all..can somebody have a look in my code and see wot is wrong..thanx in advance..
    below follows the code..sorry for the mesh of the code..you can use and run the code and notice the problem when you press the add button..also if you want delete the TableChanged method to see that the add button works perfect.

    There are too many mistakes in your program. It looks like you are new to java.
    Your add and delete row buttons are not working because you haven't registered your action listener with these buttons.
    I have modifide your code and now it works fine. Just put some validation code for the textboxes becuase it throws exception when user presses add button without entering anything.
    Here is the updated code: Do the diff and u will know my changes

  • Can not show the JCheckBox in JTable cell

    I want to place a JCheckBox in one JTable cell, i do as below:
    i want the column "d" be a check box which indicates "true" or "false".
    String[] columnNames = {"a","b","c","d"};
    Object[][] rowData = {{"", "", "", Boolean.FALSE}};
    tableModel = new DefaultTableModel(rowData, columnNames);
    dataTable = new JTable(tableModel);
    dataTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(3).setCellEditor(new DefaultCellEditor(new JCheckBox()));
    But when i run it, the "d" column show the string "false" or "true", not the check box i wanted.
    I do not understand it, can you help me?
    Thank you very much!

    Do not use DefaultTableModel, create your own table model and you should implement the method
    getColumnClass to display the boolean as checkbox ...
    I hope the following colde snippet helps you :
    class MyModel extends AbstractTableModel {
              private String[] columnNames = {"c1",
    "c2"};
    public Object[][] data ={{Boolean.valueOf(true),"c1d1"}};
         public int getColumnCount() {
         //System.out.println("Calling getColumnCount");
         return columnNames.length;
    public int getRowCount() {
    //System.out.println("Calling row count");
    return data.length;
    public String getColumnName(int col) {
    return columnNames[col];
    public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) {
    return data[row][col];
    * JTable uses this method to determine the default renderer/
    * editor for each cell. If we didn't implement this method,
    * then the last column would contain text ("true"/"false"),
    * rather than a check box.
    public Class getColumnClass(int c) {
    return getValueAt(0, c).getClass();
    * Don't need to implement this method unless your table's
    * editable.
    public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col) {
    //Note that the data/cell address is constant,
    //no matter where the cell appears onscreen.
    return true;
    * Don't need to implement this method unless your table's
    * data can change.
    public void setValueAt(Object value, int row, int col) {
    data[row][col] = value;
    fireTableCellUpdated(row, col);

  • Display data in JTable

    I am trying to display data from database into the JTable swing component. I can see the table and the heading coming from the vector. I cannot see why the data from the databse table is not loaded on to the Jtable. I just get a table with 6 rows blank.
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.io.*;
    import java.sql.*;
    import java.util.*;
    public class dataTable extends JApplet
    String dbdriver="jdbc:oracle:thin:@ds1.ctateu.edu:1521:wpac";
    String dbuser="system";
    String dbpass="pass";
    Container c;
    JScrollPane jsp;
    JTable table;
    int v,h;
    Connection connection;
    Statement stmt;
    ResultSet rs;
    String param_start,param_end, param_disp_start, param_disp_end,param_shortdesc, param_longdesc;
    public void init()
    c= getContentPane();
    c.setLayout (new BorderLayout());
    v=ScrollPaneConstants.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS;
    h=ScrollPaneConstants.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS;
    Vector heading = new Vector();
    heading.addElement("Event Start Date");
    heading.addElement("Event End Date");
    heading.addElement("Display Start Date");
    heading.addElement("Display End Date");
    heading.addElement("Short Description");
    heading.addElement("Long Description");
    Vector data = new Vector();
    try
    Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
    connection=DriverManager.getConnection(dbdriver,dbuser,dbpass);
    stmt=connection.createStatement();
    rs= stmt.executeQuery("select * from univevents");
    while(rs.next())
    param_start = rs.getString("start_date");
    param_end = rs.getString("end_date");
    param_disp_start = rs.getString("display_start");
    param_disp_end =rs.getString("display_end");
    param_shortdesc = rs.getString("short_desc");
    param_longdesc = rs.getString("long_desc");
    catch (Exception e)
    //JOptionPane.showMessageDialogue("Exception: "+e.getMessage());
    data.addElement(param_start);
    data.addElement(param_end);
    data.addElement(param_disp_start);
    data.addElement(param_disp_end);
    data.addElement(param_shortdesc);
    data.addElement(param_longdesc);
    table = new JTable(data, heading);
    jsp = new JScrollPane(table,v,h);
    //Add scrollpane to container
    c.add("Center",jsp);
    }//init
    }//JApplet

    Your data vector should be a Vector of Vectors.
    I think you need to change your loop to look something like this:
    while(rs.next())
        Vector row = new Vector();
        row.addElement( rs.getString("start_date") );
        row.addElement( rs.getString("end_date") );
        row.addElement( rs.getString("display_start") );
        row.addElement( rs.getString("display_end") );
        row.addElement( rs.getString("short_desc") );
        row.addElement( rs.getString("long_desc") );
        data.addElement( row );
    } Then remove your data.addElement() statements found outside the loop.

  • Refresh data in a jtable when data changes

    I have a jtable grdTable and a tableModel mytableModel which extend abstract table model
    I have a jcheckbox in the column 1 which i want to uncheck all
    I am doing the following.The data is changed ,I could see by doing susyem.out.println() but the data in the table does not refreshes.
    public void showTablechanges()
    TableModel tm = grdTable.getModel;
    for(int i=0 ;i<grdTable.getRowCount();i++)
    grdTable.setValueAt(Boolean.FALSE, i, 1);
    ( (MyTableModel)tm).fireTableDataChanged();
    grdTable.repaint();
    What am i missing or what wrong I am doing.How can i make the data refresh.
    I tried do a sys out after seting the value and it is showing as false but the checkbox is still checked.I have tried a lot of things but I am not able to refresh the jtable.
    Please please help.
    Thanks

    Thanks so much for the reply I read the links.I modified my code as
    public void showTablechanges() {
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
    TableModel tm = grdTable.getModel;
    for (int i = 0; i < grdTable.getRowCount(); i++) {
    grdTable.setValueAt(Boolean.FALSE, i, 1);
    ((MyTableModel) tm).fireTableDataChanged();
    grdTable.repaint();
    This makes no difference.What strange thing is happening out of 12 checkboxes ,11 are unchecked but the first one always remains checked.EVen without the
    invoke later 11 are unchecked and 1 remains checked
    This method is in a panel and this panel is invoked from another MAin panel which has a changelistener for this panel.
    i.e if the method above is in myPanel.java then in my main panel,I have
    myPanel.addChangeListener(this)
    Also if i remove the line
    ((MyTableModel) tm).fireTableDataChanged();
    All checkboxes remains checked.
    I am really confused and this looks very tough to me ,Can you find out what is wrong
    Thanks,

  • Refresh jTable after inserting new data into the Database

    Hey all,
    I'm using Netbeans 6.5 to create a Desktop Application which is connected to a Java DB (Derby).
    The first simple steps were all very successfull:
    Create the jTable and bind it to the Database => everything works fine. When the application starts it correctly shows all data from the database.
    The problem starts when I try to insert new data to the database.
    For that reason I've created textfields and a button "Save". When I press the button it successfully inserts the data to the database but they are not displayed in the jTable (when the application starts they are all there, they are not updated at runtime) . I've tried table.invalidate() and table.repaint() but they just don't work.
    Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. But please have in mind that most of the code is Netbeans-generated and most of it not editable.
    Many thanks in advance.
    George

    Once again you are right my friend. I jumped to conclusion way too fast, when I shouldn't. (Give me a break, I've been busting my head with this well over a week). The response I saw when I did that was that indeed a line is added to the jTable. Because I falsly set the index of the object to be added to be second to last the row appeared on the table, what I didn't see at the time was that the last one disappeared. Hmm...
    A new adventure begins...
    So after a few hours of messing around with it here are my observations:
    1) It was not an observable list. When I add the new element with employeesList.add(newEmp); , the table gets notified but a get a bunch of exceptions:

    ... and a lot morewhich from my poor understanding means that the jTable succesfully notices the change but it is not able (??) to adjust to the new change. What is more interesting is that when I plainly add the element to the end of the list (without an idex that is), a blank row appears at the end of my Table. The weird thing is that I've bound the table to some text fields below it, and when I select that empty row all the data appear correctly to the text fields.
    I tried going through:
                    org.jdesktop.observablecollections.ObservableCollections.observableList(employeesList).add(newEmp);as well as
                    help = org.jdesktop.observablecollections.ObservableCollections.observableListHelper(employeesList);
                    help.getObservableList().add(newEmp);
                    help.fireElementChanged(employeesList.lastIndexOf(newEmp));and
                    obsemployeesList = org.jdesktop.observablecollections.ObservableCollections.observableList(employeesList);
                    obsemployeesList.add(newEmp);and I still get the same results (both the exeptions and the mysterious empty row at the end of the table
    So, I'm again in terrible need of your advice. I can't thank you enough for the effort you put into this.
    Best regards,
    George

    Please help.Its urgentThen why didn't you use the formatting tags to make it easier for use to read the code?
    Because of the above I didn't take a close look at your code, but i would suggest you should be using a ListSelectionListener to be notified when a row is selected, then you just populate the text area.
