What are the benefits of using a ResultSetTableModel for a JTable?

I am writing a desktop application in Java and it uses two JTables as the main output.

I have a working version of the program where I use DefaultTableModels to manage the underlying data of the JTables and I use an ArrayList to store the data in each model.

However, I've come across the ResultSetTableModel which stores the data in a ResultSet and a ResultSetMetaData object to implement the TableModel methods.

But I am not clear on the benefits of using a ResultSetTableModel as opposed to a DefaultTableModel or AbstractTableModel. I have searched and I cannot find any discussion on this.

Does anyone know why one would favor a ResultSetTableModel over the other options?

Solution

  • if you use DefaultTableModel you have to store the data into model manually, and if you ResultSetTableModel data automatically loads into JTable this is the difference.
