- Java Tip 137: Manage distributed JTables
- When displaying tables with tens of thousands of rows (or more), it is imperative they quickly respond and display. One way to achieve this is by using a specialized TableModel that retrieves data from a server only when it is required, thereby minimizing data download. To further improve efficiency, row data can be retrieved in chunks of 50 rows and cached on the client side for future use. This article explains how to write such a distributed table and presents some of its advantages. (1,500 words; April 18, 2003)
