Re: how to save the data of a JTable to a html file?

thanks, All.
Now, I met another problem.
Because it is an Applet program, if I want to access local files, now I
modified the java.security file in jre1.5.0_07\lib\security directory.
But the project is a B/S project, so I think it's not a good way. we
can't change every files in Client.
my question is: if I don't want to modify the java.security file, what
way should I walk?
thanks!

Best Regards

now, I am doing a Java Applet program, and I need to save the content
of a JTable to html formatted file.
if you hava some useful suggestions or you know some third-party
components, please tell me!

Perhaps not directly relevant (it's a piece of cake to generate HTML
from the table model), but I thought I'd try using JTable itself (well,
the PL&F) to generate HTML. JTable supports copying as HTML via
clipboards and drag and drop, which we can exploit with a private
clipboard. Disappointing code and disappointing results below.

Some bad points:

o You need to mutate the table (select all).
o The APIs are cumbersome.
o Actual requirements of the implementation are under specified.
o The table is plain, with just toString applied to data.
o Even the header isn't included.
o There's no sensible extension mechanism.
o It's not particularly efficiently coded.
