Selecting cells in JTable

[Mike London]

In a JTable, how do you enable the user to
select a cell, but not edit it?
I've got some preliminary code like below, but
it doesn't stop the user from changing the value
in my 'play' table.
In particular, I thought the setCellSelectionEnabled would keep the cell from being edited but it doesn't appear to.
=================================================
model = new DefaultTableModel();
jTable_MatchedFiles = new JTable(model);
jTable_MatchedFiles.setRowSelectionAllowed(false);
jTable_MatchedFiles.setCellSelectionEnabled(false);
model.addColumn("Directory");
model.addColumn("File Name");
model.addColumn("File Size");
model.addColumn("File Date");
String[] firstRow = {"1", "2", "3", "4"};
model.addRow(firstRow);

===============================================
Thanks for any ideas.

You need to override the isCellEditable() method in the AbstractTableModel. Here is an example of one I have. The difference with mine is my model takes in Vectors where the AbstractTableModel takes in Object[][] and Strings[].

class MyTableModel extends AbstractTableModel {
        
        Vector columnNames = null;
        
        Vector data = null;;
            
            
       
              
        public MyTableModel( Vector myData, Vector columns ) {
this.data = myData;
this.columnNames = columns;
}

        
        public int getColumnCount() {
            return columnNames.size();
        }
        
        public int getRowCount() {
            return data.size();
        }
        public String getColumnName(int col) {
            return columnNames.get(col).toString();
        }
        public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) {
        
        return data.get(row);      
            
        }
       
        public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col) {
        return false;
        }
        public void setValueAt(Object value, int row, int col) {
            
            data.set(row, value);
            this.fireTableDataChanged();
            
        }
        
        public void addRow(Vector row) {
        data.addElement(row);
        this.fireTableDataChanged();
        }
        
        public void delRow(int row) {
        
        }
        
        
        
        
    }

Notice that the isCellEditable returns false. Hope that helps a little.
