trouble using custom renderers in JTable

Question

The following are my cell renderer and editor:

package org.lims.register.gui;

import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;


public class EmpNamePanel extends JPanel {  

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 934032676749762710L;

    private JTextField empNameTF;
    private JButton browseB;

    public EmpNamePanel(){
        super(null);
        empNameTF=new JTextField();
        empNameTF.setEditable(false);
        empNameTF.setBounds(0, 0, 150, 30);
        add(empNameTF);
        browseB=new JButton("Browse");
        browseB.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event){
                empNameTF.setText("Murali");
            }
        });
        browseB.setBounds(150,0, 100, 30);
        add(browseB);
    }


    /**
     * @return the empNameTF
     */
    public JTextField getEmpNameTF() {
        return empNameTF;
    }

    /**
     * @return the browseB
     */
    public JButton getBrowseB() {
        return browseB;
    }
}

package org.lims.register.gui.model;

import java.awt.Component;

import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.table.TableCellRenderer;

import org.lims.register.gui.EmpNamePanel;


public class EmpNamePanelRenderer extends EmpNamePanel implements TableCellRenderer{

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 5637984468556275113L;

    /* (non-Javadoc)
     * @see javax.swing.table.TableCellRenderer#getTableCellRendererComponent(javax.swing.JTable, java.lang.Object, boolean, boolean, int, int)
     */
    @Override
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value,
            boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
        if (isSelected) {
            setForeground(table.getSelectionForeground());
            super.setBackground(table.getSelectionBackground());
        } else {
            setForeground(table.getForeground());
            setBackground(table.getBackground());
        }
        System.out.println("value ;"+value);
        getEmpNameTF().setText((String)value);
        return this;
    }
}

package org.lims.register.gui.model;

import java.awt.Component;

import javax.swing.AbstractCellEditor;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.table.TableCellEditor;

import org.lims.register.gui.EmpNamePanel;

public class EmpNamePanelEditor extends AbstractCellEditor implements TableCellEditor{

    private static final long serialVersionUID = -5575645761840609401L;
    private EmpNamePanel enp;

    /* (non-Javadoc)
     * @see javax.swing.CellEditor#getCellEditorValue()
     */
    @Override
    public Object getCellEditorValue() {
        String value=enp.getEmpNameTF().getText();
        return value;
    }

    /* (non-Javadoc)
     * @see javax.swing.table.TableCellEditor#getTableCellEditorComponent(javax.swing.JTable, java.lang.Object, boolean, int, int)
     */
    @Override
    public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value,
            boolean isSelected, int row, int column) {
        enp=new EmpNamePanel();
        return enp;
    }
}

I am using this renderer and editor. Everything is working fine. When I click on the browse button the text is being displayed in the textfield and when I focus on other column in the table the text is displayed properly in the textField but when I move away from this column and when I click back on textfield the text is disappearing and the text field is being blank. My expectation is until I change the text by clicking the browse button the same text should be displayed.

there are no actionListeners or eventListeners. you need them when focusGained and FocusLost. Use the java docs and, add and implement the appropriate listeners
