How to add tooltip for a item or cell of a vaadin table

Solution 1
Use code as below:
table.setItemDescriptionGenerator(new ItemDescriptionGenerator() {
public String generateDescription(Component source, Object itemId, Object propertyId) {
if(propertyId == null){
return "Row description "+ itemId;
} else if(propertyId == COLUMN1_PROPERTY_ID) {
return "Cell description " + itemId +","+propertyId;
}
return null;
}}
Solution 2
You could accomplish this by setting a formfieldfactory. Here you could return a button that only loooks like text with styling CSS. This will let you set a caption on the button. This is obviously a ugly hack. More info about buttons and links in vaadin.
table.setTableFieldFactory(new TableFieldFactory() {
// container is the datasource
// item is the row
// property is the column
//
@Override
public Field createField(Container container, Object itemId, Object propertyId, Component uiContext) {
})

I noticed that vaadin 6.7.0 beta1 supports to add tooltip for row/cell of a table. However, I did not find any example how to add it. Is there anybody who can provide some sample?
