Using TableFormat to specify columns

Although the EventTableModel will take care of managing the table rows, it is still necessary to do some set up. We need to specify column names and how to get the value for a particular column. To do this we implement the TableFormat interface.

import java.util.Comparator;
// a simple issues library
import ca.odell.issuezilla.*;
// glazed lists
import ca.odell.glazedlists.gui.TableFormat;

/**
 * Display issues in a tabular form.
 * 
 * @author <a href="mailto:jesse@odel.on.ca">Jesse Wilson</a>
 */
public class IssueTableFormat implements TableFormat {
  
  public int getColumnCount() {
    return 6;
  }
  
  public String getColumnName(int column) {
    if(column == 0) {
      return "ID";
    } else if(column == 1) {
      return "Type";
    } else if(column == 2) {
      return "Priority";
    } else if(column == 3) {
      return "State";
    } else if(column == 4) {
      return "Result";
    } else if(column == 5) {
      return "Summary";
    }
    return null;
  }
  
  public Object getColumnValue(Object baseObject, int column) {
    if(baseObject == null) return null;
    Issue issue = (Issue)baseObject;
    if(column == 0) {
      return issue.getId();
    } else if(column == 1) {
      return issue.getIssueType();
    } else if(column == 2) {
      return issue.getPriority();
    } else if(column == 3) {
      return issue.getStatus();
    } else if(column == 4) {
      return issue.getResolution();
    } else if(column == 5) {
      return issue.getShortDescription();
    }
    return null;
  }
}
