Indeed, it works perfectly in Noel's example. Thanks!

On review, I see that JRootPane, JScrollPane and JSplitPane all return
true for isValidateRoot(). In contrast, JTextField's isValidateRoot()
returns false when it's contained within a JViewport, perhaps for a
similar reason.

First of all thanks a lot for all the helpful replies, this
solution works perfectly

However, in order to make resizing columns work, the following is
necessary:
headerTable.setTableHeader(dataTable.getTableHeade r());
(I currently don't know why)

However, when using the above line, the sorting method provided
by Java 1.6 will not work any more. Luckily, the following solution
for java 1.5 works perfectly:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5...ws-in-java-1-5

Now everything works: column resizing, sorting, fixed rows, no update
problems

Thanks again!

In fact, it works for your SSCCE, too.

If you apply it to your SSCCE, resizing and sorting will work as expected.
