JTable problem.

[Vikas Sahu]

Hi,
I have one problem regarding the JTable.
I have to implement next , previous option in jtable.
My problem is I have say 1000 records but i dont want to display entire records in a table at a time.
I want 10 records first time then when user press next button then next 10 records should come in the table.
Could any body suggest me how to do that.... or any sample example.

Best Regards -
Vikas Kumar Sahu.

Have you considered writing your own TableModel?

I had a similar problem. The way I dealt with it was to create a "controller" that was passed a JTable and a model containing the records and had a set "page" size which was the number of records displayed. The controller provided next() and previous() methods. When invoked the controller would remove all the existing rows, if any, and then add the next (or previous) page size records as rows. You could also eliminate the adding/removing and just update the cells.

You could certainly roll your own TableModel to do it too but I have concerns about it. I'm just not sure a TableModel should be taking on the responsibility of deciding which rows are visible at a given time. But that's just my initial reaction so take it for what it's worth.
