Column text not visible when rendered

[kohinoor2007]

Hi,

I Have a table in which Iam rendering the column(the 0th column), to make it look like a Fixedcolumn.Iam doing it as follows:

	public void setFixedColumnRenderer(JTable table,TableColumn fixedCol){

		fixedCol.setCellRenderer(new FixedColumnRenderer(table));          
		
	}

	
	public class FixedColumnRenderer extends JLabel implements TableCellRenderer {
		  
		   public FixedColumnRenderer(JTable table) {
			   super();	    
		  }
		  
		  public Component getTableCellRendererComponent( JTable table,Object value, 
				  boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
			JTableHeader header = table.getTableHeader();			
			//setBorder(UIManager.getBorder("TableHeader.cellBorder"));
			Color foreground, background;
			setOpaque(true);
			setHorizontalAlignment(CENTER);
			//setForeground(Color.gray);
			//setBackground(Color.gray);
			setForeground(header.getForeground());
			setBackground(header.getBackground());
			setFont(header.getFont());
			
		    return this;
		  }		  
	}

Iam creating the table & invoking the "FixedColumnRenderer" as follows:

TableModel model = new IndexTagTableModel(rowData,columnNames); ///IndexTagTableModel is my TableModel."rowData" & "columnNames" are vectors.
table = new JTable(model);
setFixedColumnRenderer(table, table.getColumnModel().getColumn(0));

Now the problem is the column -0 is rendered with the defined color,but cant see the text which is there in this column.

What am I doing wrong here & how can I fix it?

Thanks in advance
