Class 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: DefaultTableModel returns a column class of Object. When DefaultTableModel is used with a TableRowSorter this will result in extensive use of toString, which for non-String data types is expensive. If you use DefaultTableModel with a TableRowSorter you are strongly encouraged to override getColumnClass to return the appropriate type.

    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™ has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

      • DefaultTableModel

        public DefaultTableModel​(int rowCount,
                                 int columnCount)
        Constructs a DefaultTableModel with rowCount and columnCount of null object values.
        Parameters:
        rowCount - the number of rows the table holds
        columnCount - the number of columns the table holds

    • Method Detail

      • setDataVector

        public void setDataVector​(Vector<? extends Vector> dataVector,
                                  Vector<?> columnIdentifiers)
        Replaces the current dataVector instance variable with the new Vector of rows, dataVector. Each row is represented in dataVector as a Vector of Object values. 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

        public void setDataVector​(Object[][] dataVector,
                                  Object[] columnIdentifiers)
        Replaces the value in the dataVector instance variable with the values in the array dataVector. The first index in the Object[][] array is the row index and the second is the column index. columnIdentifiers are the names of the new columns.
        Parameters:
        dataVector - the new data vector
        columnIdentifiers - the names of the columns
        See Also:
        setDataVector(Vector, Vector)
      • newDataAvailable

        public void newDataAvailable​(TableModelEvent event)
        Equivalent to fireTableChanged.
        Parameters:
        event - the change event
      • newRowsAdded

        public void newRowsAdded​(TableModelEvent e)
        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
        See Also:
        getDataVector()
      • rowsRemoved

        public void rowsRemoved​(TableModelEvent event)
        Equivalent to fireTableChanged.
        Parameters:
        event - the change event
      • setNumRows

        public void setNumRows​(int rowCount)

        Parameters:
        rowCount - the new number of rows
      • setRowCount

        public void setRowCount​(int rowCount)
