Updating a JTable using CachedRowSet data

Question

Hello, I would like to know how I can update my already created JTable receiving data from a CachedRowSet without creating a new table model (this is the method I have been using). I have read about using the fireTableDataChanged() method but I cant figure out how to use this works. Maybe an explanation on how the information in the CachedRowSet is updated in the JTable when notifiers are used will help.
Any help will be appreciated

Perfect. This works well for my issue. I can now use the setModel() method without having the columns reordered.Damn camickr, that is a bloody good thing to know (it's often so much easier to recreate the table model, here's a very neat solution to one of the pitfalls)! Thanks :)
Since this is solved, I still want to know how I can use the fireTableDataChanged() method and AbstractTableModel interface with CachedRowSet (just out of curiosity). I have been looking through jduprez's suggestion to figure this out too. I am currently faced with the issue,
I have two classes, one for the CachedRowSet and the other with the table implementationsAs you describe it, I don't think that's a good approach: what I meant wad an implementation of TableModel , not a subclass of JTable : the stock JTable already knows how to work with any model implementation, as long as it implements TableModel .
Where do I need to use the AbstractTableModel interface?It is a class, not an interface: it implements TableModel and provides useful defaults for some methods (at least, the management of the list of TableModelListener )
My suggestion was that you define a custom class that extends AbstractTableModel , and uses its fireXxx judiciously.
here is an example:
public class RowSetAwareTableModel extends AbstractTableModel {
    public void setUpdateddata(RowSet newData) {
        this rowSet = newdata;
        super.fireTabledataChanged();
    /** Implementation of TableModel */
    public int getRowCount() {
        return rowset.getMaxRows();
    // etc...
}
