custom TableFormat for computed display fields?

[arghman]

I have an EventList<Foo> where Foo contains information that's not directly accessible as Bean-style fields, e.g. if I have a Foo foo, I have to call String.format("%0.3f", foo.getMetadata().getCapacity()) to extract a string representing capacity, I can't just call foo.getCapacity().

Is there a way to create a custom TableFormat object to do the dirty work of extracting the relevant computed fields for display purposes?

For the time being I am going to try to use a TransformedList<Foo, DisplayFoo> where DisplayFoo is a wrapper class that exposes Bean-style fields, but that just seems wrong.

You'll want to provide your own TableFormat implementation instead of having one constructed for you from bean properties.
