I have a question that appears to have been asked before, but, having browsed the responses, does not appear to have been answered satisfactorily. I am adding items to a table, essentially a series of textfields with ok / cancel buttons in a JFrame that adds data to a list that is displayed in another JFrame in a JTable. Nothing terribly complicated there. My question is, what is the best method to call the Refresh() method that tells the JTable to repaint itself / revalidate itself? Should I just use a public static method called from the JFrame that is doing the adding, or is there an Event-like option in Java that would work better? Your thoughts?

    The JTable is updated via changes to the model. The model will fire appropriate events when it changes, when instructs the table to update its view. This a common concept in Swing and forms part of the MVC paradigm used by Swing – MadProgrammer May 11 '13 at 06:20
