Trying to add a listener to a JComboBox in a JTable

Question

Hi all.
I have a little problem which I can't resolve.
I made a program in which I create a table using a class which extends JTable (but this isn't the point with the problem, I think. It's only for rendering purposes)
In this table I put various types of items (such as Strings, JButton, JComboBox). I have no problem with the visualization of them, but the problem is with the listener for the combo boxes. I created a listener of my own and registered it in the constructor of the combo box editor, but when I change a value it's never fired. Can someone please help me?
Here's some code which can help understanding the problem
Combo box editor:
public class MyComboBoxEditor extends DefaultCellEditor{
public MyComboBoxEditor(JTableX _tabellaDiAppartenenza) {
super(new JComboBox());                  
(JComboBox)super.editorComponent).addItemListener(new MyItemListener((JComboBox)super.editorComponent));    
public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable arg0, Object arg1, boolean arg2, int arg3, int arg4) {
String elementi[]=new String[((JComboBox)arg1).getItemCount()];
for(int i=0;i<((JComboBox)arg1).getItemCount();i++){
elementi=(String)((JComboBox)arg1).getItemAt(i);
super.editorComponent=new JComboBox(elementi);
return super.getTableCellEditorComponent(arg0, arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4);
}combo box listener:public class MyItemListener implements ItemListener{
private JComboBox combo;
public MyItemListener(JComboBox object){
combo=object;
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent arg0) {
int changeEvent = arg0.getStateChange();
if(changeEvent==ItemEvent.SELECTED){
Object value=arg0.getItem();
combo.setSelectedItem(value);
}table:public class JTableX extends JTable{
protected MyCellEditorModel myCellEditorModel;
public JTableX(MyDataModel tm){
super(tm);
Object ge = defaultEditorsByColumnClass.get(Boolean.class);
DefaultCellEditor dce = (DefaultCellEditor)ge;
dce.setClickCountToStart(0);
MyButtonEditor mbe = new MyButtonEditor(new JCheckBox("Bottone"), this);
mbe.setClickCountToStart(0);
MyComboBoxEditor mcbe = new MyComboBoxEditor(this);
mcbe.setClickCountToStart(0);
defaultEditorsByColumnClass.clear();
Hashtable cellEditors = new Hashtable();
cellEditors.put(JButton.class, mbe);
cellEditors.put(JComboBox.class, mcbe);
cellEditors.put(Boolean.class, dce);
this.defaultRenderersByColumnClass.put(JButton.class, new MyButtonRenderer());
this.defaultRenderersByColumnClass.put(JComboBox.class, new MyComboBoxRenderer());
defaultEditorsByColumnClass.put(Object.class, new MyCellEditorModel1(cellEditors));
public TableCellEditor getCellEditor(int row, int col){
if(myCellEditorModel!=null) return myCellEditorModel;
return super.getCellEditor(row,col);
public TableCellRenderer getCellRenderer(int row, int column) {
Object value = getValueAt(row,column);
if (value !=null) {
return getDefaultRenderer(value.getClass());
return super.getCellRenderer(row,column);
public void setCellEditor(MyCellEditorModel anEditor) {
myCellEditorModel = anEditor;
}Hoping the code is enough to understand the problem, I thanks all for watching and reading the post and for the future answeres.

Answer 1

super.editorComponent=new JComboBox(elementi);You create a new combo box each call to getTableCellEditComponent() (overriding the one of the constructor), but you aren't adding a ItemListener to it.
