Horizontal and Vertical control on button group

[Web_Sailor]

Hi,

I am working on creating a jradiobutton group using JTable. Here is a brief definition of the problem.

My program gives an output like this:-

1                      radiobtn1     radiobtn2   radiobtn3
2                      radiobtn1     radiobtn2   radiobtn3
3                      radiobtn1     radiobtn2   radiobtn3

I am able to set horizontal control that only 1 radio button can be selected but how do I control vertically ?
As per my requirement I should allow only 1 radiobutton to be selected in a field. Even though horizontally I am doing that.

In short I mean both in rows and columns only 1 radiobutton should be selected.

Below is my code. What changes should I do ?
Also I wanted to use checkbox in for the 3rd button instead of radiobutton how can I do do that ? Since I am making a group of buttons here. Is it possible to do that ?
I mean somthing like this :-
