Help with jTable

[stacey]

Hello everyone,

I am encountering the following problem. I want to initialize a jTable
with data. The thing is that i have the data that will be inserted,
into 4 Vectors. Each Vector will be a column of the table. So i want
to insert the columns one by one with their data.
I know that there must be a way, but i haven't found anything yet,and
as i am new to Java, i am lost with all these models and stuff.

Can you give me an example code?

The solution i have found until now, is to make a String[][] data and
a String[] columnNames, and use do:
jTable1.setModel(new
javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel(data,columnNames));


Thank you very much in advance,

Stacey Venturas.

That's not a bad solution, but if you really want to avoid translating your
data, implement your own table model. It's not that difficult to make an
object that accepts your 4 vectors as parameters and then answers a few key
operations. Subclass AbstractTableModel because it already does the
bookkeeping. You have to make it answer the number of columns, the number
of rows, what the columns names and contents are and what the value of each
cell is. See the Javadocs for full details.

class VectorTableModel extends AbtractTableModel

getColumnCount () { How many columns?
getColumnClass (int column) {
return String.class; // Or whatever your data is

getColumnName (int column)
getRowCount () { // how many rows?
getValueAt (int row, int col). Figure out which vector and cell.
