What is the best way to listen for changes in JTable cell values and update database accordingly?

Question

I\'m building and app with multiple JTables and I need to detect when cell value change occurs so I can update it in the database. I tried TableModelListe

I'm agreeing with @mKorbel - unless all your input is checkboxes and dropdowns, you're going to want to wait until the cell editing is stopped (you don't want to commit to the database every time a letter is typed in a textbox).

If the problem is that it's not committing after focus has gone to another component, add a FocusListener that stops editing the table when focus is lost on the table:

Example:

final JTable table = new JTable();
table.addFocusListener(new FocusAdapter() {
    @Override
    public void focusLost(FocusEvent e) {
        TableCellEditor tce = table.getCellEditor();
        if(tce != null)
            tce.stopCellEditing();
    }
});
