JTable: row select on the basis of an object

[Heatryn]

I have a JTable with some objects that represent persons.

However I have a method that selects a person from my database by matching its fingerprint against those in the database via a fingerprintsensor.

When I have a match, the method returns the person object. Now I want to select the row in the JTable that corresponds to the person object.

How can I do this?

I have a custom TableModel:

    class LidTableModel extends AbstractTableModel {

	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

	List<Lid> lidList;

	String[] headerList = { "Id", "Voornaam", "Achternaam", "Geslacht", "Postcode", "Gemeente", "Land", "Email", "Gsm" };
	@SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
	Class[] classes = { Long.class, String.class, String.class, Character.class, String.class, String.class, String.class, String.class, String.class };

	public LidTableModel(List<Lid> list) {
	    lidList = list;
	}

	@Override
	public int getColumnCount() {
	    return headerList.length;
	}

	@Override
	public int getRowCount() {
	    return lidList.size();
	}

	@Override
	public Class<?> getColumnClass(int arg0) {
	    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
	    return classes[arg0];
	}

	// this method is called to set the value of each cell
	@Override
	public Object getValueAt(int row, int column) {
	    Lid entity = null;
	    entity = lidList.get(row);
	    switch (column) {
	    case 0:
		return entity.getId();
	    case 1:
		return entity.getPersoon().getVoornaam();
	    case 2:
		return entity.getPersoon().getAchternaam();
	    case 3:
		return entity.getPersoon().getGeslacht();
	    case 4:
		return entity.getPersoon().getPostcode();
	    case 5:
		return entity.getPersoon().getGemeente();
	    case 6:
		return entity.getPersoon().getLand();
	    case 7:
		return entity.getPersoon().getEmail();
	    case 8:
		return entity.getPersoon().getGsm();
	    default:
		return "";
	    }
	}

	// This method will be used to display the name of columns
	public String getColumnName(int col) {
	    return headerList[col];
	}

	@Override
	public void setValueAt(Object value, int row, int col) {
	    Lid entity = null;
	    entity = lidList.get(row);
	    switch (col) {
	    case 0:
		entity.setId((Long) value);
		break;
	    case 1:
		entity.getPersoon().setVoornaam((String) value);
		break;
	    case 2:
		entity.getPersoon().setAchternaam((String) value);
		break;
	    case 3:
		entity.getPersoon().setGeslacht((Character) value);
		break;
	    case 4:
		entity.getPersoon().setPostcode((String) value);
		break;
	    case 5:
		entity.getPersoon().setGemeente((String) value);
		break;
	    case 6:
		entity.getPersoon().setLand((String) value);
		break;
	    case 7:
		entity.getPersoon().setEmail((String) value);
		break;
	    case 8:
		entity.getPersoon().setGsm((String) value);
		break;
	    default:
		break;

	    }
	    fireTableCellUpdated(row, col);
	}

    }

Found it.

I do a for loop over all the rows in my jtable and if the rows person object equals the given object, I select that row.
