JXDatePicker Issue

[Saket Barve]

Hello,

I have a datepicker, which is being used in a JTextField as well as inside table cell editor.

The JTextField formats the selected date appropriately (mm/dd/yyyy format) but the table cell editor does not do this, always defaulting the format something like: Tue, Feb 16, 2006

My table cell editor is defined thus:

   
 
public static final class DateCellEditor 
extends AbstractCellEditor implements TableCellEditor {
        private JXDatePicker datePicker;
            
        public DateCellEditor() {
            datePicker = new JXDatePicker();
        }
        
        public DateCellEditor(JXDatePicker picker) {
            datePicker = picker;
                String [] format = new String[] { "mm/dd/yyyy" };
                datePicker.setFormats( format );
                datePicker.updateUI();
        }
        
        public Object getCellEditorValue() {
                String [] format = new String[] { "mm/dd/yyyy" };
                datePicker.setFormats( format );
                return datePicker.getDate();
        }
 
        public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, int row, int column) {
            if (value == null) {
                datePicker.setDate( null );
                    
            } else if (value instanceof Date) {
                    LOGGER.info( " HERE NOW " );
                    String [] format = new String[] { "mm/dd/yyyy" };
                    datePicker.setFormats( format );
                    datePicker.setDate( (Date) value );
                    datePicker.updateUI();
                    LOGGER.info( " Updated UI " );
            } else {
                throw new IllegalArgumentException("The DateCellEditor cannot be used with non Date types");
            }
                LOGGER.info( " Returning from getTableCellEditorComponent " + datePicker.getDate() );
            return datePicker;
        }
    }
 
 

and I attach it to the table cell in the following manner:

    
 
tableColumns.getColumn( 5 ).setCellEditor(new DateCellEditor( datePicker ) );

Can someone tell me what I am missing out on?

Thanks,
Saket
