Jtable content will not be updated after adding data as parameter

Question

I have jtable, everything works fine if I set the table data as a public variable (do not put it on the tablemodel parameter). But now I need to set the table data as a parameter, and the table will not update its contents. I print out some cell value and line number, they are updated and fixed. Just the display does not change, the contents are still old. I tried all types of methods for updating the table, including fireTableDataChanged and redrawing, as well as other fire functions, none of them work. Please help. Many thanks!!!!!!

table model:

       public class MyTableModel extends AbstractTableModel {

           protected String[] columnNames;
           private String[][] data;


            public MyTableModel(String[] columnNames, String[][] data){
                this.columnNames = columnNames;
                this.data = data;
                //I add this here but it still doesn't refresh the table
                fireTableDataChanged();
            }

            public int getColumnCount() {
                return columnNames.length;
            }

            public int getRowCount() {
                return data.length;
            }

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

            public String getValueAt(int row, int col) {
                return data[row][col];                  
            }

           public void setData(String[][] newdata) {   
              data = newdata;

              fireTableDataChanged();   
              }  
        }

Code updating model and table table:

        tableModel=new MyTableModel(columnNames, data);
        tableModel.fireTableDataChanged();
        table = new JTable();
        table.setModel(tableModel); 
        ((AbstractTableModel) table.getModel()).fireTableDataChanged();
        //outputs showed the content is updated
        System.out.println("total row count" + table.getRowCount());
        System.out.println("cell info" + table.getValueAt(0,5));


        table.repaint();
        feedback.repaint();
        this.repaint();

Answer 1

:

 tableModel=new MyTableModel(columnNames, data);
 tableModel.fireTableDataChanged(); // not necessary
 table = new JTable(); // dont do this, you are removing your handle to the table in your view
 table.setModel(tableModel);
