Hi, I am having some trouble with my JTable. I have a custom model that gets data from an XML document. This data is rendered and edited by the same class that extends both TableCellRenderer and TableCellEditor. In the getTableCellRendererComponent() method I set a boolean value to false and then call getTableCellEditor() passing in the appropriate parameters. This works fine..I mean my table shows the data properly. However, when I edit a cell..this is done with a double click, the isCellEditable() is called which tests if the click count is 2. If this is true the boolean value is set to true and then getTableCellEditor() is called again. This method has code in it that is only called when the boolean value is true. This code adds the value from the model to a vector...that is it. My problem is that when editing is invoked, the cell that is being edited turns white. What I don't understand is the fact that both the renderer and editor return the same component but the editor isn't working??? When I stop editing the cell is renderered properly again. Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong??? I am desperate for a solution...please help!
