public class JTable
extends JComponent
implements TableModelListener, Scrollable, TableColumnModelListener, ListSelectionListener, CellEditorListener, Accessible
JTable is a user-interface component that presents data in a two-dimensional table format. The JTable has many features that make it possible to customize its rendering and editing but provides defaults for these features so that simple tables can be set up easily. For example, to set up a table with 10 rows and 10 columns of numbers: 

       TableModel dataModel = new AbstractTableModel() {
           public int getColumnCount() { return 10; }
           public int getRowCount() { return 10;}
           public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) { return new Integer(row*col); }
       };
       JTable table = new JTable(dataModel);
       JScrollPane scrollpane = new JScrollPane(table);

Because the JTable is now much easier to set up with custom models the DefaultTableModel is less useful than it was in previous releases. Instead of copying the data in an application into the DefaultTableModel, we recommend wrapping it in the methods of the TableModel interface and passing the real data to the JTable as above. This technique is nearly as concise as using a DefaultTableModel and starting this way has a number of advantages over the longer term. In particular: it is a scalable technique, is easier to handle dynamic or editable tables and often results in much more efficient applications because the model is free to choose the internal representation that best suits the data.

The "Table" directory in the examples/demo area gives a number of complete examples of JTable usage, covering how the JTable can be used to provide an editable view of data taken from a database and how to modify the columns in the display to use specialized renderers and editors.

The JTable uses integers exclusively to refer to both the rows and the columns of the model that it displays. The JTable simply takes a tabular range of cells and uses getValueAt(int, int) to retrieve and display the values from the model.

If getTableHeader().setReorderingAllowed(boolean) is used to enable column reordering columns may be rearranged in the JTable so that the view's columns appear in a different order to the columns in the model. This does not affect the implementation of the model at all: when the columns are reordered, the JTable maintains the new order of the columns internally and converts its column indices before querying the model. So, when writing a TableModel, it is not necessary to listen for column reordering events as the the model will be queried in its own co-ordinate system regardless of what is happening in the view. In the examples area there is a demonstration of a sorting algorithm making use of exactly this technique to interpose yet another co-ordinate system where the order of the rows is changed, rather than the order of the columns.

The general rule for the JTable API and the APIs of all its associated classes, including the the column model and both the row and column selection models, is: methods using integer indices for rows and columns always use the co-ordinate system of the view. There are three exceptions to this rule:

The TableColumn provides a slot for holding an identifier or "tag" for each column and the JTable and TableColumModel both support getColumn(Object id) conveniences for locating columns by their identifier. If no identifier is explicitly set, the TableColumn returns its header value (the name of the column) as a default. A different identifier, which can be of any type, can be set using the TableColumn's setIdentifier() method. All of the JTable's functions operate correctly regardless of the type and uniqueness of these identifiers.

The convertColumnIndexToView() and convertColumnIndexToModel() methods have been provided to convert between the two co-ordinate systems but they are rarely needed during normal use.

See How to Use Tables in The Java Tutorial for further documentation.

For the keyboard keys used by this component in the standard Look and Feel (L&F) renditions, see the JTable key assignments.

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 Swing1.0 applications. It will not be possible to load serialized Swing1.0 objects with future releases of Swing. The JDK1.2 release of Swing will be the compatibility baseline for the serialized form of Swing objects.

Method Detail

addNotify

public void addNotify()
Calls configureEnclosingScrollPane.
Overrides:
addNotify in class JComponent
See Also:
configureEnclosingScrollPane

configureEnclosingScrollPane

protected void configureEnclosingScrollPane()
If the JTable is the viewportView of an enclosing JScrollPane (the usual situation), configure this ScrollPane by, amongst other things, installing the table's tableHeader as the columnHeaderView of the scrollpane. When a JTable is added to a JScrollPane in the usual way, using new JScrollPane(myTable), addNotify is called in the JTable (when the table is added to the viewport). JTable's addNotify method in turn calls this method which is protected so that this default installation procedure can be overridden by a subclass.

getDefaultRenderer

public TableCellRenderer getDefaultRenderer(java.lang.Class columnClass)
Returns the renderer to be used when no renderer has been set in a TableColumn. During the rendering of cells the renderer is fetched from a Hashtable of entries according to the class of the cells in the column.

setSelectionMode

public void setSelectionMode(int selectionMode)
Sets the table's selection mode to allow only single selections, a single contiguous interval, or multiple intervals. NOTE:
JTable provides all the methods for handling column and row selection. When setting states, such as setSelectionMode, it not only updates the mode for the row selection model but also sets similar values in the selection model of the columnModel. If you want to have states that is different between rows and columns you can get the columnModel and change that directly.

Both the row and column selection models for the JTable default to using a DefaultListSelectionModel so that JTable works the same way as the JList. See setSelectionMode() in JList for details about the modes.

sizeColumnsToFit

public void sizeColumnsToFit(boolean lastColumnOnly)
This method will resize one or more columns of the table so that the sum width of all columns will equal to the width of the table. If lastColumnOnly is true, then it will try to resize the last column only to make it fit, but if it runs into either the minimum size limit of the column or maximum size limit, then it will change the next to last column also, etc. If lastColumnOnly is false, then it will spread the size delta proportionately to all the columns, while respecting each column's max and min size limits. Also, notifications of each column width change will be sent out as they are resized.

Note: It is possible that even after this method is called, the total width of the columns is still not be equal to the width of the table. eg. A table with a single column, the column has a minimum width of 20, and the tableView has a width of 10. And there is nothing I can do about that.

Parameters:
lastColumnOnly - Try to change the last column only if true
See Also:
TableColumn#setWidth()

getToolTipText

public java.lang.String getToolTipText(java.awt.event.MouseEvent event)
Overrides JComponent's setToolTipText method to allow use of the renderer's tips (if the renderer has text set).

NOTE: For JTable to properly display tooltips of its renderers JTable must be a registered component with the ToolTipManager. This is done automatically in initializeLocalVars(), but if at a later point JTable is told setToolTipText(null) it will unregister the table component, and no tips from renderers will display anymore.
