Hello all,

I ll go straight to my problem:

I have a jTable with Payments (int id, String name, Date date, double amount) and I would like to filter the data so it will display only the records between two specified dates taken from two jDateChooser controls of the jCalendar. To do that I create a sorter as I did to add search functionality on the jtable binded with a textField (the search works fine). The code for the filter is the following:

Java Code: 
import com.toedter.calendar.JDateChooser;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.RowFilter;
import javax.swing.table.TableRowSorter;
import org.jdesktop.beansbinding.Converter;

public class DateRowSorterConverter extends Converter {

    private JTable table;
    private JDateChooser from;
    private JDateChooser to;

    public JDateChooser getFrom() {
        return from;
    }

    public void setFrom(JDateChooser from) {
        this.from = from;
    }

    public JDateChooser getTo() {
        return to;
    }

    public void setTo(JDateChooser to) {
        this.to = to;
    }

    public JTable getTable() {
        return table;
    }

    public void setTable(JTable table) {
        this.table = table;
    }

    @Override
    public Object convertForward(Object value) {
        return value.toString();
    }

    @Override
    public Object convertReverse(Object mask) {
        TableRowSorter sorter = new TableRowSorter(table.getModel());

        List filters = new ArrayList<RowFilter<Object,Object>>();

        if (from != null){
            RowFilter filter1 = RowFilter.dateFilter(RowFilter.ComparisonType.AFTER, from.getDate());
            filters.add(filter1);
        }
        if (to != null){
            RowFilter filter2 = RowFilter.dateFilter(RowFilter.ComparisonType.BEFORE, to.getDate());
            filters.add(filter2);
        }

        RowFilter filter = RowFilter.andFilter(filters);

        sorter.setRowFilter(filter);
        
        return sorter;
    }
}
To bind the sorter and the jDateChoosers with the table and the sorter I use the following code as it is generated from the netbeans


Java Code: 
org.jdesktop.beansbinding.Binding binding = org.jdesktop.beansbinding.Bindings.createAutoBinding(org.jdesktop.beansbinding.AutoBinding.UpdateStrategy.READ_WRITE, totalPaymentsTable, org.jdesktop.beansbinding.ELProperty.create("${rowSorter}"), jDateChooser1, org.jdesktop.beansbinding.BeanProperty.create("date"));
binding.setConverter(dateRowSorterConverter1);
bindingGroup.addBinding(binding);


org.jdesktop.beansbinding.Binding binding = org.jdesktop.beansbinding.Bindings.createAutoBinding(org.jdesktop.beansbinding.AutoBinding.UpdateStrategy.READ_WRITE, totalPaymentsTable, org.jdesktop.beansbinding.ELProperty.create("${rowSorter}"), jDateChooser2, org.jdesktop.beansbinding.BeanProperty.create("date"));
binding.setConverter(dateRowSorterConverter1);
bindingGroup.addBinding(binding);


dateRowSorterConverter1.setFrom(jDateChooser1);
dateRowSorterConverter1.setTable(totalPaymentsTable);
dateRowSorterConverter1.setTo(jDateChooser2);
Now when I try to run the program I get the following error:

I dont use anywhere the setDate of the jDateChooser so I m totally lost. (I used it to set some initial values on the jDateChoosers but when I removed it I got the same error)

Any ideas on what I m doing wrong? (even another suggestion on how to implement the filter functionality of the table between the two dates)

I m using NetBeans to create this desktop application. If you need me to clarify something please let me know.

Thanks for your help
