How to get the recordNumber when the users selects specfic row in JTable?
I am trying to implement the book method in client side and in my AbstractTableModel class i am using Object [][].

Try getSelectedRow() of class JTable.

Hi Matt !
Thanks for your response

I am talking about DataInfo's recordNumber field(Unique key).

How do you get recorNumber for lock() and unlock()?

You have to keep a hash table or something on the client to hold the record numbers

Hi paul,

Can it be a Vector inside the MyTableModel class ?

Are you storing all db records in the hastable or only the
records which matches searchcriteria?

Thanks

If you are keeping a vector or some such in your tablemodel, which seems like the way to go to me, then you don't need to explicitly also track the recordnum. You can access it through the DataInfo class. I don't know what you're storing in your Vector, but if you'll just store DataInfos, you can readily access the recordnum. That in conjunction with a getDataAt in your TableModel. Does that answer your question?

But you'll need to get an updated (i.e. from db.db) version using
the recordnum else the data might be stale.

Hi Matt,
Yes. I am storing DataInfo objects in Vector. after every search the Vector will be updated with new data and will be populated in JTable.
Thanks

hello,
I think what joey is trying to point here is when you format your table (tablemodel), were not going to include the record number (visible) in the table itself. Only the values, in this case the array of strings in Datainfo (String[] values).
I was kind of thinking on including the record number but it should only be in the background. as in invisible? So when you select a row, you only need to get the record number. Though, I haven't started implementing this idea.

What do you think guys...
