auto-update

I have a number of users which are logged in at a time in my desktop application. They are working on the same table (create, read, update, delete data) so I have to update their views, to reflect changes, every few seconds - currently I am thinking to use a different thread to do that.

I am using the MySQL database engine.

Is there a way, using JDBC, to listen for changes on a specific table in the database and triggering a Java method only when changes are made?
