How to add a table listener to a JTable?

Question

I am having problems with fixing something in my program. Basically I know how to use action Listeners but there is no option to add one to a JTable. How is this done?

Basically I want to add an action Listener to my table so that every time a value is changed it will update that field in my data base.

I.E.

JTable.addActionListener (new ActionListener) {
    // text is changed
    updateDataBase();
};

You should add a listener to the TableModel:

yourtableObject.getModel().addTableModelListener(new TableModelListener() {

  public void tableChanged(TableModelEvent e) {
     // your code goes here, whatever you want to do when something changes in the table
  }
});

TableModelEvent contains row and column number and type of modification.

TableModelEvent is used to notify listeners that a table model has changed.
