Class ReflectedTableModel

java.lang.Object
  javax.swing.table.AbstractTableModel
      com.gargoylesoftware.base.gui.ReflectedTableModel

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, javax.swing.table.TableModel

public class ReflectedTableModel
extends javax.swing.table.AbstractTableModel

A table model that uses reflection to retrieve values out of the row objects.

The sample below will create a JTable with one row of data and one column per property in the Date class (Date has 10 properties in JDK1.3).

 final JTable table = new JTable();
 final ReflectedTableModel model = new ReflectedTableModel(Date.class);
 model.getRows().add( new Date() );
 table.setModel(model);
 

This sample will only provide columns for month and year.

 final JTable table = new JTable();
 final ReflectedTableModel model = new ReflectedTableModel();
 model.getRows().add( new Date() );
 model.getColumns().add( new ReflectedTableModel.ColumnInfo("month") );
 model.getColumns().add( new ReflectedTableModel.ColumnInfo("year") );
 table.setModel(model);
 

Tip: To enable debugging information call setTraceChannel(TraceChannel) with a non-null TraceChannel.

 model.setTraceChannel(Trace.out)

Constructor Detail

ReflectedTableModel

public ReflectedTableModel()

Create an empty model with no columns and no rows.

ReflectedTableModel

public ReflectedTableModel(java.lang.Class clazz)
                    throws java.beans.IntrospectionException

Create an empty model with no rows but the columns preset to match the properties in the given class.

Parameters:

clazz - The class to get properties from.

Throws:

java.beans.IntrospectionException - If the Introspector is unable to get the properties for this class.

Method Detail

getRows

public java.util.List getRows()

Return a list containing the objects that are used to create each row. This list is backed by the original store such that changes to this list will be reflected in the table model.

Returns:

The rows.

getColumns

public java.util.List getColumns()

Return a list containing the ColumnInfo objects that are used to define each column. This list is backed by the original store such that changes to this list will be reflected in the table model.

Returns:

The columns.

getColumnCount

public int getColumnCount()

Return the number of columns.

Returns:

the number of columns.

getRowCount

public int getRowCount()

Return the number of rows.

Returns:

The number of rows.

getValueAt

public java.lang.Object getValueAt(int rowIndex,
                                   int columnIndex)

Return the specified object.

Parameters:

rowIndex - The row index

columnIndex - The columnIndex

Returns:

The object at the specified row and column.

getColumnName

public java.lang.String getColumnName(int index)

Return the name of the column at the specified index.

Specified by:

getColumnName in interface javax.swing.table.TableModel

Overrides:

getColumnName in class javax.swing.table.AbstractTableModel

Parameters:

index - The index of the column.

Returns:

The name of the column at the specified index.

setTraceChannel

public void setTraceChannel(TraceChannel channel)

Set the channel to be used for tracing.

Parameters:

channel - The channel to be used for tracing or null if tracing is to be disabled.

getTraceChannel

public TraceChannel getTraceChannel()

Return the channel currently being used for tracing or null if tracing is disabled.

Returns:

The trace channel or null if a channel hasn't been set.

addRowElement

private void addRowElement(java.lang.Object object)

Add a row element

Parameters:
