Question

Earlier I asked how to fire an event when a TreeNode was renamed (here). My question was answered, but I ran into another problem. I need to access the TreeNode that is being edited in the CellEditorListener’s editingStopped event. This is the code I have to do so:

package com.gamecreator;

import javax.swing.event.CellEditorListener;
import javax.swing.event.ChangeEvent;
import javax.swing.tree.DefaultTreeCellEditor;

public class CustomCellEditorListener implements CellEditorListener {
    public CustomCellEditorListener() {

    }

    public void editingCanceled(ChangeEvent e) {

    }

    public void editingStopped(ChangeEvent e) {
        DefaultTreeCellEditor editor = (DefaultTreeCellEditor) e.getSource(); //This gives me the error.
        CustomTreeNode node = //What do I put here???;
        node.getResource().setName((String) node.getUserObject());

        //For debugging
        System.out.println(node.getResource().getName());
    }
}

I get this error:

Exception in thread “AWT-EventQueue-0” java.lang.ClassCastException:
javax.swing.tree.DefaultTreeCellEditor$1 cannot be cast to
javax.swing.tree.DefaultTreeCellEditor

EDIT:
In another attempt, I used this code in the CustomCellEditorListener

public void editingStopped(ChangeEvent e) {
    TreePath path = ((CustomTreeCellEditor) e.getSource()).getLastPath();  //This gives me the error.
    CustomTreeNode node = (CustomTreeNode) path.getLastPathComponent();
    node.getResource().setName((String) node.getUserObject());

    //For debugging
    System.out.println(node.getResource().getName());
}

and this code in the CustomTreeCellEditor

public TreePath getLastPath() {
    return lastPath;
}

I got the same error (I expected I would). What I have should work, so the only real question remaining is, “Why am I getting the error and how can I fix it?,” but if anyone has a better way to accomplish this, I’m willing to listen.

EDIT 2:
I have made a small example of what I’m trying to accomplish that can be found here (It’s an Eclipse archive).

Answer 1

I found a solution that was actually very simple. When a TreeNode is renamed, it ends up being the only selected node in the tree. Because of that, I was able to use:

    CustomTreeNode node = (CustomTreeNode) tree.getLastSelectedPathComponent();
