Question

relatively self explanatory, I have a JTable (table) and the DefaultTableModel (model). I would like to save the contents of the JTable to a file, then read them into the JTable at a later time. How can i do this?

More Details: the JTable contains short strings, and there shouldn’t be more than, say 50KB of data toal.

Answer 1

DefaultTableModel implements Serializable. So the simplest solution would be to use an ObjectOutputStream and to call writeObject() with your model.

Note: Remember that objects which are hold by the DefaultDataModel needs to be Serialazable
