updating a JTable

manolakis · 04-01-2009, 09:45 PM

Hi there,

I have a Java GUI with a JTable and I want to update its data. Can anybody suggest a way of doing it. I have thought to remove the old table using the Container.remove(Component) method and then adding back the new JTable using the Container.add(Component) method. In this way I will probably have to add again any table event listeners.
Does anybody know any other way?

Many thanks.

Java has (an arguably over-complicated) Model-View-Controller design for JTables precisely so you *don't* have to do what you're proposing - precisely so that you *can* change the data independently!

Look at the "TableModel" part of JTable.

This is probably way more information that you want... but there's good stuff here - and useful stuff, too:
