/**
   The AppenderTable illustrates one possible implementation of
   an Table possibly containing a great many number of rows.

   

In this particular example we use a fixed size buffer (CyclicBuffer) although this data structure could be easily replaced by dynamically growing one, such as a Vector. The required properties of the data structure is 1) support for indexed element access 2) support for the insertion of new elements at the end.

Experimentation on my 1400Mhz AMD machine show that it takes about 45 micro-seconds to insert an element in the table. This number does not depend on the size of the buffer. It takes as much (or as little) time to insert one million elements to a buffer of size 10 as to a buffer of size 10'000. It takes about 4 seconds to insert a total of 100'000 elements into the table.

On windows NT the test will run about twice as fast if you give the focus to the window that runs "java AppenderTable" and not the window that contains the Swing JFrame. */ public class AppenderTable extends JTable { static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(AppenderTable.class); static public void main(String[] args) { if(args.length != 2) { System.err.println( "Usage: java AppenderTable bufferSize runLength\n" +" where bufferSize is the size of the cyclic buffer in the TableModel\n" +" and runLength is the total number of elements to add to the table in\n" +" this test run."); return; } JFrame frame = new JFrame("JTableAppennder test"); Container container = frame.getContentPane(); AppenderTable tableAppender = new AppenderTable(); int bufferSize = Integer.parseInt(args[0]); AppenderTableModel model = new AppenderTableModel(bufferSize); tableAppender.setModel(model); int runLength = Integer.parseInt(args[1]); JScrollPane sp = new JScrollPane(tableAppender); sp.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(250, 80)); container.setLayout(new BoxLayout(container, BoxLayout.X_AXIS)); container.add(sp); // The "ADD" button is intended for manual testing.
