Class DefaultTableModel

java.lang.Object
  javax.swing.table.AbstractTableModel
      javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, TableModel

public class DefaultTableModel

extends AbstractTableModel

implements Serializable

This is an implementation of TableModel that uses a Vector of Vectors to store the cell value objects.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans^TM has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

Method Detail

newVector

private static Vector newVector(int size)

getDataVector

public Vector getDataVector()

Returns the Vector of Vectors that contains the table's data values. The vectors contained in the outer vector are each a single row of values. In other words, to get to the cell at row 1, column 5:

((Vector)getDataVector().elementAt(1)).elementAt(5);

setDataVector

public void setDataVector(Vector dataVector,
                          Vector columnIdentifiers)

Replaces the current dataVector instance variable with the new Vector of rows, dataVector. columnIdentifiers are the names of the new columns. The first name in columnIdentifiers is mapped to column 0 in dataVector. Each row in dataVector is adjusted to match the number of columns in columnIdentifiers either by truncating the Vector if it is too long, or adding null values if it is too short.

Note that passing in a null value for dataVector results in unspecified behavior, an possibly an exception.

Parameters:

dataVector - the new data vector

columnIdentifiers - the names of the columns

See Also:

getDataVector()

setDataVector

columnIdentifiers - the names of the columns

See Also:

setDataVector(Vector, Vector)

Ensures that the new rows have the correct number of columns. This is accomplished by using the setSize method in Vector which truncates vectors which are too long, and appends nulls if they are too short. This method also sends out a tableChanged notification message to all the listeners.

Parameters:

e - this TableModelEvent describes where the rows were added. If null it assumes all the rows were newly added
