JList.getModel() ClassCastException

Question

When I call JList.getModel() and cast it to DefaultListModel it gives me this exception.

Exception in t         


        

Answer 1

I experienced this issue. I found this simple workaround:

//----instantiation----

    JList mList = new JList();
    mList.setModel(new DefaultListModel());

    /*---- do whatever you want---- */

    //Retain it wherever you want with
    DefaultListModel model = (DefaultListModel)mList.getModel();
