fill color in alternating rows in jtable

[cchetan jain]

I have made a object of JTable.but now i want to avoid user editing and set the color to the alternate tables..
but problem is that this code gives the compile time error.
now how can i do it.
one solution to this problem is that i extends the JTable and override these methods..and then make a object of that..
bt i want to ask that is there another solution for that.

JTable jTable1=new jTable1();
jTable1.setModel(new javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel(tb,
            new String [] {
                "Department", "Speciality Name"
            }
        ){	public boolean isCellEditable(int row,int col)
        {
        	return false;
        }} {public Component prepareRenderer(TableCellRenderer renderer,
                                         int rowIndex, int vColIndex) {
            Component c = super.prepareRenderer(renderer, rowIndex, vColIndex);
            if (rowIndex % 2 == 0 && !isCellSelected(rowIndex, vColIndex)) {
                c.setBackground(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
            } else {
                // If not shaded, match the table's background
                //c.setBackground(getBackground());
                c.setBackground(this.getBackground());
                
            }
            return c;
        }     }   );
        );

where?

this line doesn't count
JTable jTable1=new jTable1();

there is no standard class called jTable1.

post what you really have, not merrily typing away from memory, and you might get a solution.

anyway, the code, in the right order, worked OK for me (alternating white/gray rows)

and duplicating your post in Beginning Java, will just annoy 2 sets of people
