Re: JTable cell selection is broken

Here is the test case:

package test.table;

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Container;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTable;

class TableEdit implements ActionListener {
    JTable table;

    TableEdit()
    {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Editing Test");
        frame.setBounds(10,10,750,550);

        MyTableModel model = new MyTableModel();
        table = new MyTable(model);

        Container c = frame.getContentPane();
        JScrollPane scrollpane = new JScrollPane(table);
        c.add(scrollpane, BorderLayout.CENTER);

        JButton loadAnotherTable = new JButton("Load");
        loadAnotherTable.addActionListener(this);
        c.add(loadAnotherTable, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

    public static void main(String [] args)
    {
        TableEdit appln = new TableEdit();
    }

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        table.clearSelection();

    }
}

package test.table;

import java.io.Serializable;

public class MyModel implements Serializable {
    private String number;

    public MyModel(String number) {
      this.number = number;
    }

    public String getNumber() {
        return number;
    }

    public void setNumber(String number) {
        this.number = number;
    }

}

package test.table;

import javax.swing.table.AbstractTableModel;

public class MyTableModel extends AbstractTableModel {
    private Vector vector;

    private String[] columnNames = { "#", "Number" };

    public static final int COL_NUMBER = 0;
    public static final int COL_MY_NUMBER = 1;

    public MyTableModel() {
        super();
        vector = new Vector();

        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {

        }
    }

    // This method creates a new table

    }

    public String getColumnName(int col) {
        return columnNames[col];
    }

    public Object getValueAt(int nRow, int nCol) {
        if (nRow < 0 || nRow >= getRowCount())
            return "";
        MyModel row = (MyModel) vector.elementAt(nRow);

        switch (nCol) {
        case COL_NUMBER:
            return String.valueOf(nRow + 1);

        }
        return "";
    }

    public void setValueAt(Object value, int nRow, int nCol) {

        return dataType;
    }

    public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col) {
        return true;
    }
}

package test.table;

import java.awt.Component;

import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.table.TableCellEditor;
import javax.swing.table.TableModel;
import javax.swing.text.JTextComponent;

public class MyTable extends JTable {

    public MyTable(TableModel dm) {
        super(dm);
    }

    public MyTable(Object[][] o, String[] s) {
        super(o, s);
    }

    public Component prepareEditor(TableCellEditor editor, int row, int
col) {
        JTextComponent comp = (JTextComponent) super.prepareEditor(editor,
row,
                col);
        comp.setText(null);

        return comp;
    }

    public void changeSelection(int row, int column, boolean toggle,
            boolean extend) {

            super.changeSelection(row, column, toggle, extend);

}

Notice that when you select a row and click load, it works fine. But
when you select a particular cell and then click load. It does not
deselect the cell. It is still selected and the old value is gone. TIA.
