Hello all,

In my program I load xml data from file to the DOM, create a custom
model for the tree and display the data in the gui in the form of a
tree. If I want to edit the elements of the tree I have to modify the
valueForPathChanged event in my tree model.
I can't find any description how to do this in the literature.
Everybody seems to omit that part assuming in their examples that the
tree will not be editable.

I will be very grateful for suggestions how to implement the
valueForPathChanged event in my code (which is essentially a little
modified code from the java tutorial) so it is possible to edit the
displayed tree nodes.

My tree model looks like this:

class DomToTreeModelAdapter implements javax.swing.tree.TreeModel
{

private Document document;

public DomToTreeModelAdapter(Document document)
{
this.document=document;
}

public Object getRoot() {
return new AdapterNode(document);
}
public boolean isLeaf(Object aNode) {
AdapterNode node = (AdapterNode) aNode;
if (node.childCount() > 0) return false;
return true;
}
public int getChildCount(Object parent) {
AdapterNode node = (AdapterNode) parent;
return node.childCount();
}
public Object getChild(Object parent, int index) {
AdapterNode node = (AdapterNode) parent;
return node.child(index);
}
public int getIndexOfChild(Object parent, Object child) {
AdapterNode node = (AdapterNode) parent;
return node.index((AdapterNode) child);
}
public void valueForPathChanged(TreePath path, Object newValue) {

//AdapterNode node = (AdapterNode)path.getLastPathComponent();
DefaultMutableTreeNode node =
(DefaultMutableTreeNode)path.getLastPathComponent();
String value = (String)newValue;
if (object != null) {
node.setUserObject(object);
} else {
node.setUserObject(value);
}*/
if (value!=null)
node.setUserObject(value);
}

private Vector listenerList = new Vector();
public void addTreeModelListener(TreeModelListener listener) {
if ( listener != null && ! listenerList.contains( listener ) )
{
listenerList.addElement( listener );
}
}
public void removeTreeModelListener(TreeModelListener listener) {
if ( listener != null ) {
listenerList.removeElement( listener );
}
}

public void fireTreeNodesChanged( TreeModelEvent e ) {
Enumeration listeners = listenerList.elements();
while ( listeners.hasMoreElements() ) {
TreeModelListener listener =
(TreeModelListener) listeners.nextElement();
listener.treeNodesChanged( e );
}
}
public void fireTreeNodesInserted( TreeModelEvent e ) {
Enumeration listeners = listenerList.elements();
while ( listeners.hasMoreElements() ) {
TreeModelListener listener =
(TreeModelListener) listeners.nextElement();
listener.treeNodesInserted( e );
}
}
public void fireTreeNodesRemoved( TreeModelEvent e ) {
Enumeration listeners = listenerList.elements();
while ( listeners.hasMoreElements() ) {
TreeModelListener listener =
(TreeModelListener) listeners.nextElement();
listener.treeNodesRemoved( e );
}
}
public void fireTreeStructureChanged( TreeModelEvent e ) {
Enumeration listeners = listenerList.elements();
while ( listeners.hasMoreElements() ) {
TreeModelListener listener =
(TreeModelListener) listeners.nextElement();
listener.treeStructureChanged( e );
}
}
}

Regards,
Rob
