Referencing

[VD]

Suppose I have defined separate classes by extending JFrame, JTable and and
JTree. I want to place the JTable and JTree in the JFrame. When someone
clicks on an item in the JTree I want the JTable to be updated with some
information based on the selection. What is the best way to do this?
Should a reference to the JFrame be passed to the constructors of JTable and
JTree when they are instantiated? Can a link be made between the JTree and
JTable without doing this?

Thanks.

something like this:

class MyFrame extends JFrame {

JTable table;
JTree tree;

public MyFrame() {
table = new ...;
tree = new ...;

tree.getSelectionModel().addTreeSelectionListener(new
TreeSelectionListener() {
//show data in JTable
});
}
}
