Question

How do I typecast my defaultListModel?
I want it to hold my objects of type “Account”

Do i need to create a new listmodel that extends listmodel or is there an easier way?

Answer 1

Account is a subclass of Object, and DefaultListModel holds instances of Object, so there is no problem. You’ll just have to cast the results of the methods (get, getElementAt, etc.) to Account:

Account a = (Account) listModel.getElementAt(i);
