public class JAbstractTable

extends JTable

A JTable that prefers models that are lists of records. A JAbstractTable always must be used together with an AbstractTableModel.

Also JAbstractTable supports one selection observer which is basically an int value that will always contain the index of the currently selected record in the table. Setting up such an observer is quite straightforward:

 int[] anSelection = new int[1];

 JAbstractTable jat = new JAbstractTable (...);
 jat.setSelectionObserver (anSelection);
 

To use this observer write code like the following:

 ...
 Object oSelectedRecord = ((util.swing.AbstractTableModel) jat.getModel()).getRecord (anSelection[0]);
 if (oSelectedRecord != null) {
   ...
 }
 

Note that although you only use the actual int value, you still have to set up an array of int values. The current selection will always be written to the first element in this array, no matter how long the actual array is.

Note: This class is not meant to be serialized!

v2.0
