Cannot capture javafx CheckBoxTableCell CellEditEvent - javafx-2

Question

I have defined a CheckBoc TableColumn as
#FXML private TableColumn<Batch, Boolean> sltd;
And have defined the CellValueFactory & CellFactory
sltd.setCellValueFactory(new PropertyValueFactory<Batch, Boolean>("pr"));
sltd.setCellFactory(CheckBoxTableCell.forTableColumn(sltd));
My problem is i am not able to capture the edit column event for the checkbox. I use the following code:
sltd.setOnEditStart(new EventHandler<TableColumn.CellEditEvent<Batch, Boolean>>() {
#Override
public void handle(TableColumn.CellEditEvent<Batch, Boolean> t) {
//System.out.println("CheckBox clicked.");
}
});

I don't think the check boxes in the CheckBoxTableCell invoke the startEdit(...) method on the table.
The only thing that can happen in an edit is that the boolean property of one of the items in the table changes from true to false, or vice versa. So you can check for this just by listening directly to those boolean properties.
If you want a single listener that will catch changes to any of the properties, you can create an observableList with an "extractor" and register a list change listener with the list. This looks like:
ObservableList<Batch> items = FXCollections.observableArrayList(new Callback<Batch, Observable[]>() {
#Override
public Observable[] call(Batch batch) {
return new Observable[] { batch.prProperty() } ;
}
}
// populate items
table.setItems(items);
items.addListener(new ListChangeListener<Batch>() {
#Override
public void onChanged(Change<? extends Batch> change) {
while (change.hasNext()) {
if (change.wasUpdated()) {
System.out.println("Item at "+change.getFrom()+" changed value");
}
}
}
});
