Updateable JTable

Hi,
Was just wondering, is it possible to set up a JTable displaying all the values from a table in my DB, set it to editable and then when pressing a button, update any altered values in the DB.
I.e. if table contains values:
1 2 3 4 5
and in a JTable i change the value of '3' to '6', is there a way in which the DB now contains:
1 2 6 4 5

You need to use a db-aware component. There are not many db-aware GUI component libraries out there, but you can try http://butler.sourceforge.net. It has a class butler.swing.record.RecordListTable, that would suite your needs.

Non-Focusable cells in JTable

I have some read-only columns in a JTable. How can I set it up so that those cells do not receive
the focus. So that when tabbing it just skips over those cells.

Hopefully you have your own TableModel. Just put this in your TableModel: (It will cause all cells to be uneditable)   /*=**********************************************************************************
   * isCellEditable(): override this to cause the appropriate columns to be updateable *
   public boolean isCellEditable(int rowIndex, int columnIndex) {
      return false;
   }//end isCellEditable methodAlso, if you want to cause a particular cell editor to not be updateable, add the following method to the celleditor:   /*=*******************************************************************
   * isCellEditable(): (override) Both this method and the TableModel's *
   *     isCellEditable() method must return true in order for the cell *
   *     to be editable. Use this method to control the number of      *
   *     clicks required in order for editing to be allowed.            *
   public boolean isCellEditable(EventObject e) {
       return false
   }//end isCellEditable methodtajenkins

Making a jtable row noneditable based on a value in a certain cell.

I have a jTable (based on a database table) and one of the columns is OWNER. Is there a way to make an entire row noneditable based on the value in the OWNER column of the currently selected row?
Here is the listener code that I have on the jTable. I want to be able to make the entire row noneditable if the value (of the currently selected row) of the OWNER column is "SYSTEM". If it is anything other than "SYSTEM" then the user would be able to change the values on the row.
I can't override the isCellEditable method, because I only want the rows with the value of "SYSTEM" in the OWNER column to be noneditable.
jTable2.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
ListSelectionModel rowSM = jTable2.getSelectionModel();
rowSM.addListSelectionListener(new ListSelectionListener() {
public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e) {
if (e.getValueIsAdjusting()) return;
ListSelectionModel lsm = (ListSelectionModel)e.getSource();
if (lsm.isSelectionEmpty()) {
//no rows are selected
} else {
int selectedRow = lsm.getMinSelectionIndex();
if (jTable2.getValueAt(selectedRow, 1).equals("SYSTEM"))
System.out.println("Selected Row: " + selectedRow);
System.out.println("Owner Value: " + jTable2.getValueAt(selectedRow, 1));
//Make all cells in this row non-updateable???
//Need code to make the currently selected row noneditable
disableRetailerAddToList();
} else
enableRetailerAddToList();
Any direction for this problem would be greatly appreciated.

I've resolved it with some help by using the following:
NOT ([<plCall_Back_Required_ITAG>]=LookupValue("OCC_CUST_LOV_SR_3", "Yes") AND [<stCall_Back_Number_ITAG>] IS NULL)

Not updateable view

I want to create a not updateable view. I want to obtain a not editable JTable to show this view, as when
we difine a table model with redefined function isCellEditable() returning false.
Thanks
Albert Portugal.

I found another method to do that. Steps:
1. create a view object (over the table view you will apply read only restrict) with read only checkbox checked.
2. Then click on bc4jmodule. Take out view object from exported views.
3. Click over the parent view object FKLink and change relation with the modifiable view for the new read only view. Add FK from destination attributes.
4. Click bc4jmodule properties and add new view object to export.
Finally when you display this data block it could not be modifiable.
The solution explained before is when you need modify this view. So if you are completly sure that some table will not be modified by application the easiest solution is checking read only flag in view object. (table).

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.

How to select a specific cell in a JTable?

Hi there,
in a JTable, I would like to select a specific cell (to highlight it) from a JButton.
Here a sample code...
Who could help me to fill it?
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class TableSelection{
    public static void main (String args[]) {
      JFrame frame = new MyFrame();
      frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
      frame.show();
class MyFrame extends JFrame{
public MyFrame(){
    setTitle("TableSelection");
    setSize(WIDTH,HEIGHT);
    DefaultTableModel myModel = new DefaultTableModel(2,2);
    JTable myTable = new JTable(myModel);
    myTable.setCellSelectionEnabled(true);
    JButton button00 = new JButton("select 0,0");
    button00.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event){
     System.out.println("selection of cell (0,0)");
     //--- what code is required to select the cell(0,0)?
    JButton button11 = new JButton("select 1,1");
    button11.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event){
     System.out.println("selection of cell (1,1)");
     //--- what code is required to select the cell(1,1)?
    Box myBox = new Box(BoxLayout.Y_AXIS);
    myBox.add(new JScrollPane(myTable));
    myBox.add(button00);
    myBox.add(button11);
    getContentPane().add(myBox, BorderLayout.CENTER);
private static final int WIDTH=200;
private static final int HEIGHT=200;
}Thanks a lot for your help.

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.

Updateable Snapshot changes not getting propagated

Hi,
I am using Oracle 8.1.7 with Updateable snapshot replication. When I do a dbms_snapshot.refresh as the repadmin user from the snapshot site, the changes I made to the table I am refreshing are not pushed to the master site. Also, the update is actually overwritten by the value that exists on the master site.
Here is the actual refresh call sql:
EXECUTE dbms_snapshot.refresh('scpa.dag', 'F', NULL, TRUE, TRUE, 1, 0, 0, TRUE);
What table can I look in to see whether or not my update on the snapshot site is queued.
I get no errors when I do the refresh.
Thanks,
Chris

Try check deferror view on master site. When you call refresh procedure you set parameter refresh_after_errors to True, so there can be same unresolved replication conflict. In DBA studio it is tab Errors for node
DB->Replication->Administration
If there are no record in deferror on master site, check if you snapshot is a member of snapshot group. If not changes is not propagated.

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
