I've read how to create a JTable on JScrollPane with data in code, but how can I create a empty table with column header without adding data to it?
I want to add data to it from a form - not from my code.
If you use Netbeans for Development, it will be quite easy to work with JTables.
Using Netbeans, simply select Table from the palate and put it wherever you wish it to display.
Then in properties, you can change column names, add new columns and delete older. Also there only you will get an option of rows to display, simply put that to zero (0).
Voila! Your table is ready with column names and No Rows.

Well I have a JTable in my app that fetches records from a MySql database adn displays them in a sorted order.
Till now I have been using a separate JTextArea and a JComboBox to allow the users to edit the table, something like
so whenever someone clicks on a row in the table the ID of the record is automatically updated below in a JLabel that lies before the JComboBox.
The question is how can I allow users to simply double click and edit values in the cells which would automatically fire a SQL Update query and update the same in the database. I want to allow this on certain Columns only not every Column.
A response with a code example would be highly appreciated.

You can use a TableModelListener to be notified of changes to the TableModel.
I want to allow this on certain Columns only not every Column.
The row/column is found in the TableModelEvent so you check the column that changed before invoking the SQL update.
One potential problem with this is that a TableModelEvent is generated even if the data isn't changed. That is if you place the cell in edit mode and, for instance, tab to the next cell without change the data and event will still be generated.
To get around this problem you may want to consider using the Table Cell Listener. When using this class the event is only generated if the data has actually been changed.
I'm working on a project in NetBeans.
I have a Jtable which i bound to my database and there is a form that I use to insert data.
I want the records in the table to be refreshed with each insert.
How can I do that?
I want the records in the table to be refreshed with each insert.
Then your "insert" logic need to do two things:
insert the data into the database
insert the data into the JTable. This is done by using the addRow(...) method of the DefaultTableModel. You get the data from the form, create a Vector to contain the data for each column then you add the Vector to the model.
I should simply select the table and go to the navigator window. Under "Other Components" there is the list that was created after the binding and contains the table records (you should know its name). Right click on the list > Properties > check "observable".
Please try the following code:
if you want update the table on button click or on event of any component
you have to put the code in the event
the list generated should be Observable checked
code
udetailsList.clear();
udetailsList.addAll(udetailsQuery.getResultList());
I want to create a table (that will finally exist in a new eclipse view). This table has a few text columns, and a column that has a different behavior based on the other columns. It can either be a field to enter text, or to popup a dialog for users to select data from (and it has to be a popup or a dynamically created combo). Anyway, I know which of the two I need for each row in the column.
My table is built using TableViewer and a few TableViewerColumn's in it. I later fill them with String data in TableItem's up to 4 columns. The fifth is the one I have this special behavior.
I tried experimenting with TableEditor, but failed:
When I used one for each TableItem it somehow got misaligned with the table rows and columns
When I use one for the entire table, I fail to set a Text entry on specific rows
What I need help with is figuring out exactly how to achieve this:
A Table that has 4 String columns, where the data is constant (cannot be changed by the user)
A fifth column where the cell contents is either a Text for the user to enter, or a (preferably transparent) Button that has a popup as action, or a Combo that I dynamically fill with data upon table creation
Any idea would be highly appreciated.
OK, got this figured out. The example here helped a lot:

How do I remove unused rows from a JTable?
I first create a table of a fixed size in a JPanel and then fill elements as needed.
Now I don't want unused rows to be displayed in my table. Please help.
I presently get a table with lots of empty rows in bottom, only top 5-6 rows being used, with rest blank. I want to hide them or remove them somehow
Work the other way around. Start with an empty DefaultTableModel. DefaultTableModel supports an addRow() method. So, as you get data to add to the model use:
model.addRow(...);
Don't let the GUI editor determine how you code your GUI. Adding cleanup code to remove rows is a bad design.
DefaultTableModel has a method removeRow which removes a row from the table. Pass the row index which you want to remove from the table.
Now I don't want unused rows to be displayed in my table.
This I am not sure please post an SSCCE to show us what is the flag that says these rows are not used.
I'm working developing a system and I need to create a special table take a look:
Row headers and column titles are always static.
Is it possible to create that kind of table with Netbeans?
Please follow the link about how to add Nested Table Header.
