JTable content refreshing

[ContoNick]

Hi.
I have JTable which contains two collumns: PID , Processname.

So how should i refresh table content if some process is killed / terminated / quited / crashred or something else.

Right now im trying to update JTable content using special thread to take care only about it.

This is my ArrayList which contains Process object's

private ArrayList<Process> arListaProcesa;

When init panel / frame im doing this:

arListaProcesa = getListProcesa();
		int position = 0;
		for (Process pro : arListaProcesa) {
			panelFirstTab.getDefProcTableModel().insertRow(position, new Object[]{pro.getPid(),pro.getName()});
		}

and for refreshing it i have special thread which do this:

@Override
		public void run() {
			
			
			numProcess = arListaProces.size(); // first time when i init JPanel i fill DefTableModel with for loop thru arrayList of process objects and i add every element into Dtm and then create JTable
			
			while(true){
				try{
					if(end)
						break;
					
					int numProcessNew = getListProcesa().size();
					
					if(numProcess != numProcessNew){
						
						DefaultTableModel dtm = new DefaultTableModel();
						arListaProcesa = getListProcesa();
						
						
						int position = 0;
						for (Process pp : arListaProcesa) {
							dtm.insertRow(position, new Object[]{pp.getPid(),pp.getName()});
						}
						
						panelFirstTab.setDefProcTableModel(dtm);
						panelFirstTab.getTableProces().repaint();
						numProcess = numProcessNew;
						
					}
					sleep(800);
				}catch (Exception e) { }
			}
		}

Is this the correct way how to refresh JTable content or did i missed whole idea ?

Thank u.

( if u can please provide some example :) Thanks )

Consider creating a new TableModel object with each change, and do this off of the EDT -- the Swing event dispatch thread -- and then set your JTable with the new model on the EDT.

If I understand correctly - why reinsert all rows possibly only a small number of your data changed? Extend DefaultTableModel and have it backed by your List<Process> data. This way, any changes to the list are reflected in the TableModel - all you need is to notify the listeners that the model has changed (eg fireTableDataChanged)

Better extend from the AbstractTableModel class.
