Java: Possible to replace TableModel in an existing JTable?

Question

Is it possible to replace the entire TableModel in an existing JTable or do I have to recreate the JTable?

Answer 1

You can set a new model using the JTable.setModel() method

Check the Javadocs for details

Damn - I was using the inline javadoc in the eclipse editor and I missed it, but I went back and checked and it's there. – Amphoteric

Very helpful in the case of a JXTreeTable as well, where you might have to use setTreeTableModel(). – Lethargic

Answer 2

When you change the model you are stuck with old column titles. getColumnName() only gets called on initialization.

so it is not possible to change the column names as well? In my case, I want to make a data viewer table, it gets initialized without data and filled once a different thread provides the model. But, as you said, column names are not appearing! – Plenty
