TextField Rendering is not working.

Question

Hi friends,
I was tring to write a textfield renderer. Even though the text field can be seen in the jtable, its containing some unwanted texts which i have pasted below. I could not understand why so. What i am doing wrong.
Here is the renderer class :
        class TextFieldUIRenderer extends JTextField implements TableCellRenderer {
                public TextFieldUIRenderer() {
                        super();
                        setOpaque(true);
                public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected,
                                                                         boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
                        //TODO If the component is having the focus
                        if (hasFocus) {
                                table.editCellAt(row, column);
                        //TODO If the component is selected
                        if (isSelected) {
                        } else {
                                //Otherwise
                        this.setText(value.toString());
                        return this;
        }Here is TextFieldCellEditor class :
        public class TextFieldCellEditor extends DefaultCellEditor {
                public TextFieldCellEditor() {
                        super(new JTextField());
        }then i am setting
                textField.setCellRenderer(new TextFieldUIRenderer ());
                textField.setCellEditor(new TextFieldCellEditor ());Now when i am running the program the text box is shown the following text inside :
javax.swing.JTextField[,0,0,0x0,invalid,layout=javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTextUI$UpdateHandler,alignmentX=null,
alignmentY=null,border=javax.swing.plaf.BorderUIResource$CompoundBorderUIResource@ae3364,flags=296,maximumSize=,
minimumSize=,preferredSize=,caretColor=javax.swing.plaf.ColorUIResource
[r=0,g=0,b=0],disabledTextColor=javax.swing.plaf.ColorUIResource[r=153,g=153,b=153],editable=true,
margin=javax.swing.plaf.InsetsUIResource
[top=0,left=0,bottom=0,right=0],selectedTextColor=javax.swing.plaf.ColorUIResource
[r=0,g=0,b=0],selectionColor=javax.swing.plaf.ColorUIResource[r=204,g=204,b=255],columns=10,
columnWidth=0,command=,horizontalAlignment=LEADING]
Please help, thanks.

You are misunderstanding roles of editor, renderer
and their relationship. Don't call editor function in
the renderer. Default editor is text field, so you
don' t need reimplement it.Hi Hiwa,
Thanks for you reply. Could you please elaborate it little more. I am not understanding where i am using the editor from inside the renderer.
