Java JTable clicking out of a field that is being edited does not update field values

Thanks for the replies, I will test them out tomorrow.  The reference objects sent has a link to

It has two good solutions I can use!


The first is to have the table automatically stop editing and save the data. This can be done by setting a property on the table:

JTable table = new JTable(...);
table.putClientProperty("terminateEditOnFocusLost", Boolean.TRUE);

Note that this solution will cause the table to stop editing when any component get focus. I believe this logic is limited to components on the current window, but must admit I haven’t tested it. This solution will also not work when you click on the window buttons (ie, minimize or close).

Maybe the above solution is too general, and you want to control which components should stop editing. In this second case, you would need to add some code to the ActionListener of your buttons, something like:

if (table.isEditing())
    table.getCellEditor().stopCellEditing();
