I am trying to display data from database into the JTable swing component. I can see the table and the heading coming from the vector. I cannot see why the data from the databse table is not loaded on to the Jtable. I just get a table with 6 rows blank.

import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.*;

public class dataTable extends JApplet
{
String dbdriver="jdbc:oracle:thin:@ds1.ctateu.edu:1521:wpac";
String dbuser="system";
String dbpass="pass";
Container c;
JScrollPane jsp;
JTable table;
int v,h;
Connection connection;
Statement stmt;
ResultSet rs;
String param_start,param_end, param_disp_start, param_disp_end,param_shortdesc, param_longdesc;

public void init()
{
c= getContentPane();
c.setLayout (new BorderLayout());
v=ScrollPaneConstants.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS;
h=ScrollPaneConstants.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS;

Vector heading = new Vector();
heading.addElement("Event Start Date");
heading.addElement("Event End Date");
heading.addElement("Display Start Date");
heading.addElement("Display End Date");
heading.addElement("Short Description");
heading.addElement("Long Description");
Vector data = new Vector();

try
{
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
connection=DriverManager.getConnection(dbdriver,dbuser,dbpass);
stmt=connection.createStatement();
rs= stmt.executeQuery("select * from univevents");

while(rs.next())
{
param_start = rs.getString("start_date");
param_end = rs.getString("end_date");
param_disp_start = rs.getString("display_start");
param_disp_end =rs.getString("display_end");
param_shortdesc = rs.getString("short_desc");
param_longdesc = rs.getString("long_desc");
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
//JOptionPane.showMessageDialogue("Exception: "+e.getMessage());
}

data.addElement(param_start);
data.addElement(param_end);
data.addElement(param_disp_start);
data.addElement(param_disp_end);
data.addElement(param_shortdesc);
data.addElement(param_longdesc);

table = new JTable(data, heading);
jsp = new JScrollPane(table,v,h);
//Add scrollpane to container
c.add("Center",jsp);
  }//init

}//JApplet

I guess the model you are sending to table is just a vector, but it needs vector of vectors. probably the following code may solve this
<code>
while(rs.next()) {
    param_start = rs.getString("start_date");
    param_end = rs.getString("end_date");
    param_disp_start = rs.getString("display_start");
    param_disp_end =rs.getString("display_end");
    param_shortdesc = rs.getString("short_desc");
    param_longdesc = rs.getString("long_desc");

    //create a row
    Vector tmp = new Vector();
    tmp.addElement(param_start);
    tmp.addElement(param_end);
    tmp.addElement(param_disp_start);
    tmp.addElement(param_disp_end);
    tmp.addElement(param_shortdesc);
    tmp.addElement(param_longdesc);
    
    //add to model
    data.addElement(tmp);
}
table = new JTable(data, heading);
</code>

Tried that. For some reason it is not displaying any records from the database. The table is also greyed meaning doesnt show the rows in white like it should ?

Can JApplet having JTable access database directly?

Maybe u can consider having the applet taking to a service on the server which accesses the database. For it is unlikely that the server and port which served your applet is the same on which the database is listening. Thus you might be breaking the applet sandbox and hence u cannot connect.

While I m doing about Jtable data can't be added in Jtable.

here is the code of data accessing from database
