FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Bug exists on both
java version "1.5.0_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_05-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_05-b05, mixed mode)
and
java version "1.4.2_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_01-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_01-b06, mixed mode)
ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Windows XP
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
A nullpointer bug exists when trying to use the setFont function on a JTable that has been created using TableSorter and is viewed in Windows XP.
It may be possible to argue that the bug exists in WindowsTableHeaderUI
or in TableSorter.
TableSorter is not by default included in any JDK release but it is written by sun and made available from
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html
This bug is probably related to Bug ID 5049957 but it is not the same.
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile and run the attached code
Click the Test Button
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Table font size should increase
ACTUAL -
NullPointerException thrown
ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
java.lang.NullPointerException

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
A kinda of workaround exists by modifying TableSorter
Commenting out two lines in setTableHeader in TableSorter as per below
This stops the custom header which paints the arrow from being installed.
public void setTableHeader(JTableHeader tableHeader) {
if (this.tableHeader != null) {
this.tableHeader.removeMouseListener(mouseListener);
TableCellRenderer defaultRenderer = this.tableHeader.getDefaultRenderer();
if (defaultRenderer instanceof SortableHeaderRenderer) {
this.tableHeader.setDefaultRenderer(((SortableHeaderRenderer) defaultRenderer).tableCellRenderer);
}
}
this.tableHeader = tableHeader;
if (this.tableHeader != null) {
this.tableHeader.addMouseListener(mouseListener);
// this.tableHeader.setDefaultRenderer(
// new SortableHeaderRenderer(this.tableHeader.getDefaultRenderer()));
}
}
