JComboBox as a Custom TableCellEditor

Question

I have a table. Changes on that table update database. One column is edited by a JComboBox in that table. Clicks to any cell in that column fires a tableChanged event. Howev

Answer 1

Now it works. JComboBox needs to be reinitialized every time getTableCellEditorComponent method invoked. And in the itemstatechange of this JComboBox stopCellEditing() method must notify listeners that editing done when item is selected. That make the TableModelListener fireTableChanged event. (Fixed) However it also fires that event when you click a JComboBox after clicking another JComboBox without making a selection. (/Fixed)

Edit: Following code is the last version. By this TableModelListener is notified only when an item is selected. The problem mentioned above is fixed. It was because of default stopCellEditing() method always returned true. This cause cell editing stop in an unexpected way. It must be overriden as needed and fireEditingStopped(); must be used to notify TableModelListener

public class JIDCellEditor extends AbstractCellEditor implements TableCellEditor {

    private JComboBox jComboBox = new JComboBox();
    boolean cellEditingStopped = false;

    @Override
    public Object getCellEditorValue() {
        return jComboBox.getSelectedItem();
    }

    @Override
    public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, int row, int column) {
        Vector vector = new Vector();
        ArrayList arrayList = new ArrayList();
        arrayList.add(Integer.parseInt(value.toString()));
        vector.add(0);
        for (int i = 0; i < table.getRowCount(); i++) {
            if (!vector.contains(table.getValueAt(i, 0)) && table.getValueAt(i, 3).toString().equals("Sheep")) {
                vector.add(table.getValueAt(i, 0));
            }
        }
        vector.remove(table.getValueAt(row, 0));

        for (int i = 0; i < vector.size(); i++) {
        }
        jComboBox = new JComboBox(vector);
        jComboBox.setSelectedItem(value);

        jComboBox.addItemListener(new ItemListener() {

            @Override
            public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e) {
                if (e.getStateChange() == ItemEvent.SELECTED) {
                    fireEditingStopped();
                }
            }
        });
        jComboBox.addPopupMenuListener(new PopupMenuListener() {

            @Override
            public void popupMenuWillBecomeVisible(PopupMenuEvent e) {
                cellEditingStopped = false;
            }

            @Override
            public void popupMenuWillBecomeInvisible(PopupMenuEvent e) {
                cellEditingStopped = true;
                fireEditingCanceled();
            }

            @Override
            public void popupMenuCanceled(PopupMenuEvent e) {

            }
        });
        return jComboBox;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean stopCellEditing() {
        return cellEditingStopped;
    }
}
