Direct Known Subclasses:
TableModel, TableModelAdapter
public abstract class AbstractTableModel
extends DataModel

A model for table components. Implementations of AbstractTableModel provide a representation of the data to be displayed in the view, e.g. concrete data structures, or an adapter to data stores in an alternative structure. It should handle requests from the controller and subsequently notify the view of any changes via listeners.
