have tried my luck in new to java but no answers there so i'm double posting here in 'swing' forum

hey all!!
i have been battleing with tables and underlaying table models for a while now. i have posted a few questions before and subsequently (with the help of others) worked out pretty much everything i neede. so i have written my own table model, set the column widths dynamicaly, worked out how to update the table model and then database and so on.
now i have pretty much the last thing to work out and then my assignment will be sufficently coverd.
how do i update date fields (date of birth, start date etc) in a JTable (table model) ?? i have written my own table model (extension of AbstractTableModel) and it works fine. i can click on a field in the table and update it. but when i have date field i can't even click on. it seems as it is not updatable?? i get data from database as follows:
GetData.java
this is where i get my vectors that i use later to crreate the table

 for(int count=1;count<=rsMetaData.getColumnCount();count++){
                        switch(rsMetaData.getColumnType(count)){
                                case Types.VARCHAR:
                                case Types.LONGVARCHAR:
                                case Types.CHAR:
                                        row.addElement(resultSet.getString(count));
                                        break;
                                case Types.TIMESTAMP:
                                        row.addElement(resultSet.getTimestamp(count));
                                        break;
                                case Types.DATE:
                                        row.addElement(resultSet.getDate(count));
                                        break;
                                case Types.INTEGER:
                                case Types.SMALLINT:
                                        row.addElement(new Long(resultSet.getLong(count)));
                                        break;
                                case Types.DOUBLE:
                                case Types.NUMERIC:
                                        row.addElement(new Double(resultSet.getDouble(count)));
                                        break;
                                case Types.BIT:
                                        row.addElement(new Boolean(resultSet.getBoolean(count)));
                                        break;
                                default:
                                        row.addElement(rsMetaData.getColumnTypeName(count));
                        }
                }
 

then those vectors get passed to my table model
with getColumnClass to make the table better looking ((:
CustomTableModel.java

 public Class<?> getColumnClass(int col){
                return getValueAt(0,col).getClass();
        }

and after that i return the whole table (JTable) and grab it and put it where i want it.....

but as i said in the beginning i cannot update date fields in this table??!!
any suggestions, links to tuts, sample code??
thanks
