JTable throwing IndexOutOfBoundsException during paint

Question

Hi I'm building an application using a JTable to display data from a database and I keep getting an IndexOutOfBoundException from tableModel.getValueAt(row,col) during painting. I debugged the code and it seems like the data isn't being saved to the DefaultTableModels data vector.

This is my code...

    public class TableFrame extends JFrame{
        public static void main(String[] args){
            TableFrame frame = new TableFrame();

        }

        private TablePanel tablePanel;
        public TableFrame(){
            super();
            setSize(new Dimension(500,500));
            setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

            tablePanel = new TablePanel();
            add(tablePanel);

            updateLabels();
            setVisible(true);
        }

        public void updateLabels() {
            setTitle("Main Frame");

            tablePanel.updateLabels();
        }

        private static class TablePanel extends JPanel{

            private DefaultTableModel tableModel;
            private DefaultTableColumnModel colModel;
            private JTable table;

            private JPanel buttonPanel;
            private JButton refreshButton;

            public TablePanel(){
                setLayout(new BorderLayout());

        buttonPanel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout());
        refreshButton = new JButton();
        refreshButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            @Override
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
                refreshData();
            }
        });
        buttonPanel.add(refreshButton);
        add(buttonPanel,BorderLayout.NORTH);

        //TODO:Set the column renderers and editors
        colModel = new DefaultTableColumnModel();
        colModel.addColumn(new TableColumn(0,75));
        colModel.addColumn(new TableColumn(0,75));
        colModel.addColumn(new TableColumn(0,75));
        colModel.addColumn(new TableColumn(0,75));
        colModel.addColumn(new TableColumn(0,75));
        colModel.addColumn(new TableColumn(0,75));
        colModel.addColumn(new TableColumn(0,75));
        colModel.addColumn(new TableColumn(0,75));
        colModel.addColumn(new TableColumn(0,75));
        colModel.addColumn(new TableColumn(0,75));
        colModel.addColumn(new TableColumn(0,75));

        tableModel = new DefaultTableModel();

        table = new JTable(tableModel,colModel);

        JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(table);
        add(scrollPane,BorderLayout.CENTER);

        updateLabels();
    }

    //This is going to query data from a database and populate the table
    //problem occurs during painting
    public void refreshData(){
        Random rand = new Random();

        for(int i=0;i<1000;i++){
            Vector<Object> fields = new Vector<Object>();
            for(int j=1;j<=11;j++){
                fields.add(rand.nextInt());
            }
            tableModel.addRow(fields);
        }
    }

    public void updateLabels() {
        colModel.getColumn(0).setHeaderValue("Col 1");
        colModel.getColumn(1).setHeaderValue("Col 2");
        colModel.getColumn(2).setHeaderValue("Col 3");
        colModel.getColumn(3).setHeaderValue("Col 4");
        colModel.getColumn(4).setHeaderValue("Col 5");
        colModel.getColumn(5).setHeaderValue("Col 6");
        colModel.getColumn(6).setHeaderValue("Col 7");
        colModel.getColumn(7).setHeaderValue("Col 8");
        colModel.getColumn(8).setHeaderValue("Col 9");
        colModel.getColumn(9).setHeaderValue("Col 10");
        colModel.getColumn(10).setHeaderValue("Col 11");

                refreshButton.setText("Refresh");

                repaint();
            }
        }
    }

This is the exception...

I debugged the code and added a call to tableModel.getDataVector().getElementAt(0).getElementAt(0) and tableModel.getRowCount() . getRowCount() returned 1000 but getElementAt() resulted in the IndexOutOfBounds exception, just like in the awt event queue. I think what I did should work but obviously there's something I'm missing.

Answer 1

The TableModel doesn't refer to the ColumnModel to get the number of columns so this has to be set using tableModel.setColumnCount() . Otherwise the defaultTableModel justifies the data and truncates the row to the number retreived by getColumnCount() .
