Making a JButton clickable inside a JTable

Question

Here is the screenshot of what I want to do :

What's happening there is the JButton shows correctly but nothing happens when I click on it. After some search, I've found that the Object returned by table.getValueAt() is a String instead of a JButton...

Here is the code :

tblResult = new JTable(data,cols) {     public TableCellRenderer getCellRenderer( int row, int column ) {         return new ClientsTableRenderer();     } }; 

I use this for populating at run-time the JTable : (tblResult is now Clients.rblResult)

SwingUtilities.invokeLater( new Runnable() {     public void run() {           DefaultTableModel aModel = new DefaultTableModel() {             //setting the jtable read only             @Override             public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int column) {                 return false;             }                        };       String[] cols = {"N°","Société", "TVA", "CP", "Ville", ""};     aModel.setColumnIdentifiers(cols);      Object[] temp = new Object[6];     for(int i=0;i<result.length;i++) {          temp[0] = result[i].custNumber;         temp[1] = result[i].name;         temp[2] = result[i].tva;         temp[3] = result[i].cp;         temp[4] = result[i].city;         temp[5] = "Consulter";          aModel.addRow(temp);      }      Clients.tblResult.setModel(aModel);      Clients.tblResult.addMouseListener(new JTableButtonMouseListener(Clients.tblResult));     }}   );  

Here the ClientsTableRenderer class

public class ClientsTableRenderer extends JPanel implements TableCellRenderer {     @Override     public Component getTableCellRendererComponent( final JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {         setBackground(Color.WHITE);         if(column < 5) {             JLabel label =  new JLabel(value.toString());             JPanel panel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.CENTER,0,9));             panel.setBackground(Color.WHITE);             panel.add(label);             this.add( panel);         } else {              JButton button = new JButton(value.toString());             button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {                 @Override                 public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {                     System.out.println("Clicked !");                 }             });             JPanel panel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.CENTER,0,3));             panel.setBackground(Color.WHITE);             panel.add(button);             this.add(panel);         }           return this;     }   } 

And finaly, the JTableButtonMouseListener() :

public class JTableButtonMouseListener extends MouseAdapter {       private final JTable table;        public JTableButtonMouseListener(JTable table) {         this.table = table;       }        @Override public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {         int column = table.getColumnModel().getColumnIndexAtX(e.getX());         int row    = e.getY()/table.getRowHeight();          System.out.println("Col :"+column + "row:"+row);          if (row < table.getRowCount() && row >= 0 && column < table.getColumnCount() && column >= 0) {           Object value = table.getValueAt(row, column);           System.out.println("Value :"+value.getClass().getName());           if (value instanceof JButton) {             ((JButton)value).doClick();           }          }       }     } 

I'm kindly new to Java, help would be very much appreciated :)

Thanks in advance !
