problem on JTable

[Jain Neeraj]

Hi,
I've a JTable, which saves/retrieve the entered values to the Database. The problem is when i edit a cell and change the value, It's not actually changed as when i'm retireving it, it still shows me the old value..........but if i change the focus from the editing cell to some other cell, It saves the changed value.
in another words if i leave the cursor in the editing cell and hit save, it doesn't actually change and still save the old value.
Any clues on fix for this....
Thanks in advance

this is a bug in JDK 1.4.1 which results from the former ((half-)fixed) bug, that the editor stayed in action even when the JTable lost focus. now the Editor is cancelled instead of stopped when the JTable loses focus.
see bug report http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4503845.html

i couldn't get the solution ...Is it fixed? i tried stopCellEditing but that didn't help...
Is there a fix for this problem?
Thanks,

well, there are some comments on the different bug repords where people have provided some patches but they are all quite "dirty". there is no clean workaround.
if you have the possibility switch back to 1.4.0 (this should be sufficient, I think). you will then need to stop the editor yourself when the table loses focus. but then again, you _can_ stop it.

sorry i forgot to mention that i'm using jdk 1.3.1

sorry, I forgot. there is a workaround suggested by sun (ok, for them it's not a workaround).
catch the lostFocus event for JTable. the event is dispatched before the JTable loses focus (I hope, if not there is certainly another focus event dispatched before the focus is actually transfered). the editor will be active by then. get the value that is displayed by the editor, transfer the focus and set the value in the specific cell to the one you got from the editor.
here is the bug report with the suggestion (see the evaluation field)

hm, 1.3.1
and stopCellEditing didn't work?
anyway, I paste you this sample code I thought of would work with lesser 1.4.1:

if ( table.isEditing() )
{
        int row = table.getEditingRow();
int col = table.getEditingColumn();
editor = table.getCellEditor( row, col );
editor.stopCellEditing();
}

can you check whether the table really is editing (returning isEditing() == true) when you think it is?
