Hi,

You can attach client data to a Swing component.
The methods are:

public class JComponent {

     /**
      * Adds an arbitrary key/value "client property" to this component.
      */
     public void putClientProperty(Object key, Object value);

     /**
      * Returns the value of the property with the specified key.
      */
     public Object getClientProperty(Object key);

}


But you must assure that the key does not clash
with a key already used internally by Swing.
Easiest is to use a key that resembles in the prefix
one of your package names.

For example:

    myTable.putClientProperty("com.mycompany.mypackage.mykey", "value");

Bye
