Question

How to preserve table row selecetion after table mode update (fireTableDataChanes)? I know that I should save selection before fire and restore it after (from there). But when I try to restore selection in TableModelListener it doesn’t work. So where should I restore selection?

Update:
Now I try to restore selection in this way:
table.setModel(model);

    model.addTableModelListener(new TableModelListener() {

      @Override
      public void tableChanged(TableModelEvent e) {
        table.addRowSelectionInterval(1, 1);
      }
    });

but it doesn’t work.

Decision is simple: we should use Swing EventQueue:

final int selectedRow = 0;
// Save selected row table
tableList.getSelectionModel().addListSelectionListener(new ListSelectionListener() {
    @Override
    public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e) {
        selectedRow = e.getFirstIndex();
    }
});

// Restore selected raw table
model.addTableModelListener(new TableModelListener() {      
    @Override
    public void tableChanged(TableModelEvent e) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                if (selectedRow >= 0) {
                            tableList.addRowSelectionInterval(index, index);
                }
             }
        });
    }
});
