JTable: room record gets updated/booked by providing cell value, without book button

[Margarita Babkova]

Hi there,

I am working on user interface and I got a strange issue with the way my JTable works.

1. Let’s say I ran a normal search for all records and got expected results:
Palace Smallville 2 Y $150.00 2005/07/27
Castle Smallville 6 Y $220.00 2005/11/19 etc.

2. I select first row and type ownerId value 12345678 into column ownerID (isCellEditable=true for this row/column).
AND move focus from this cell, and put it back again on that cell.
3. Re-run the same search and somehow this owner id gets right into my hotel records, without using Book button or anything.
Palace Smallville 2 Y $150.00 2005/07/27 12345678
Castle Smallville 6 Y $220.00 2005/11/19

4.I could not even book the given room record, because it says that it is already booked – but I did nothing but typed ownerId.

I tried to discard changes with code lines below, but it did not help much.

if (table.getCellEditor() != null) {
table.getCellEditor().cancelCellEditing();
}

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you

If you re-run the original search are you replacing the old table model (containing the 2 records) with a new one (containing the new search results)?

Another possibility: don't make your cells editable

I commented out this isCellEditable method from my model, and Added one JTextField next to the Book button and able to book room this way.
Outstanding: the Owner column does not show its new value untill I re-run Search.
But I will work on it.

After booking I re-run the search automatically (programatically. That way the owner column shows the new value.

I did the same, but was not really sure that it was most efficient solution...

I tired to make it work with tbl.fireTableDataChanged() inside Book methof of a Controller class - but it did not work.
For now i will leave it as it is (with the call to the search inside book method), because it does work.

thank you very much
