Question

I have created a JTable and I have an xml file with stock symbols and their names.
I want the user to enter the stock symbol in the first column and when he press Enter to see the name of the Stock in the second column.
What is the proper JTable event to use?
Also, is it possible to calculate totals from cells with numeric values?
Thank you.

You can override the TableChanged method of TableModelListener to access the data entered and then make the calculations you need.

public void tableChanged(TableModelEvent e) {
    TableModel model = (TableModel)e.getSource();
    Object data = model.getValueAt(e.getRow(), e.getColumn());

    //do something
}
