So basically the requirement is to fetch results from database based on the search query. Results are displayed in JTable. The results should have 5 columns. The 4 columns contain values fetched from database. The 5th column is supposed to have buttons . When the button is clicked a popup should appear. Now the search functionality is working fine. I'm getting an error when I need to display a buttons in 5th column. I googled and found out that it can be done by TablCellRenderer. I've also incorporated the code for the same in my code referring this link Now, I get the error as
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException
at r_search_2$JTableButtonRenderer.getTableCellRendererComponent(r_search_2.java:193)
which lies in this block:-
else
{
button.setForeground(table.getForeground());
button.setBackground(UIManager.getColor("Button.background"));
}
If I remove this block from my code the search query runs fine but buttons are not displayed in the 5th column. So where lies the error and how should I correct that ? Thanks !

There is something is wrong with below code in JTableButtonRenderer
JButton button = (JButton)value;
Most probably "value" is null here. For testing create button as JButton button = new JButton("Button");
Let me know if that works.
