Serialize JTable's TableModel

Question

I need to send the content of a JTable to a REST Service. For this purpose, I'd like to send the TableModel to the REST Service. However, I can see that the TableModel class is not Serializable.

Is there any other option other than copying the TableModel in a wrapper Java class (Serializable)?

I wouldnt send the tablemodel. I would send the array list that you define inside the tablemodel. — Oliver Watkins, Nov 03 '14 at 08:26
DefaultTableModel that you're probably going to use *IS* serializable. TableModel is just an interface. — bestsss, Nov 03 '14 at 08:28

Usually table's row is dto. So you need send just collection of dtos using available marshallers (json, xml etc).

Ok, thanks. So I'll cast the model to DefaultTableModel and send the Vector contained in getDataVector() using marshallers. – user2824073 Nov 03 '14 at 08:41

Or [JAXB example](http://stackoverflow.com/a/25966347/2587435) (above was using JSON and Jackson) – Paul Samsotha Nov 03 '14 at 08:44
