Class BeanTableModel

java.lang.Object
javax.swing.table.AbstractTableModel
uk.ac.starlink.util.gui.BeanTableModel
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, TableModel
public class BeanTableModel extends AbstractTableModel
TableModel which displays beans. The table is constructed to display beans of a particular class, and each of its row displays one instance of this class. It has one column for each readable property. As usual, a bean is anything which has likely-looking getter methods, though by using the java.beans package any cleverer stuff held in BeanInfos will get used as well/instead. What a neat idea!

      public void setData(Object[] data)
      Populates this model with items.
      Parameters:
      data - array of items, one for each row. This array's runtime type must match that for which this model was constructed (on pain of ClassCastException)
