table events and fire* methods

Q: is there any table event directly linked to the jtable object, without the table model object?
%%A: i doubt it.
Note all listeners are registered on the table model object, not the jtable object. P705[[def guide]]

Before studying the fire* methods of swing tables, better get familiar with the typical TableModelEvent constructors. A few examples

TableModelEvent(source); // all rows changed
TableModelEvent(source, HEADER_ROW); // Structure change, reallocate TableColumns
TableModelEvent(source, 3, 6); // Rows 3 to 6 inclusive changed
TableModelEvent(source, 2, 2, 6); // Cell at (2, 6) changed
TableModelEvent(source, 3, 6, ALL_COLUMNS, DELETE); // Rows (3, 6) were deleted

Now we are ready to compare the various fire* methods

fireTableChanged(TableModelEvent e) // is internal workhorse method used by other fire* methods
fireTableStructureChanged(void) // column (structural) change.
fireTableDataChanged(void) // no arg, so all rows changed. But no column (structural) change.
fireTableRowsUpdated/Inserted/Deleted(firstRow, lastRow)

I don't see any fire* method about a single cell. I guess you can construct such an event and pass it to fireTableChanged(e)
