Adding data from a vector into a JTable

Question

Hi,
I've never used JTables before, so this is all new to me. I want to display the data I have in a vector in a JTable. The little I've read about doing this involves using arrays for the JTable information, and by using that as a guide I can't get it to work. A quick answer or perhaps a link to somewhere I can read up on it would be appreciated, thanks.

Answer 1

Okay, thanks for the links. I was able to set up a table, and have it display the information I want it to....sorta. The problem is, the table is only showing the first element in my vector, and nothing else. Plus, when the table starts up, it's a small box in the corner of the screen and I have to click and drag to get it visible.
Here's a bit of my code, perhaps someone could point out what's going wrong?
//GUI class where I call the table class from
//all GUI and even handling stuff up here
else if(event.getSource() == listInven){
        sim.buildtable(vec3);
//the table class
public class table extends JFrame {
public Vector vec3;
    String Type;
    Vector columnNames, rowData;
    JTable table2;
    public table(){
      super("Inventory");
      Type = "Type of product";
      columnNames = new Vector(1);
      rowData = new Vector(1);
    public void buildtable(Vector vec3){
        rowData.addElement(vec3);
        columnNames.addElement(Type);
        final JTable table2 = new JTable(rowData, columnNames);
        table2.setPreferredScrollableViewportSize(new Dimension(500, 70));
        JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(table2);
        getContentPane().add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
            public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
                System.exit(0);
        setVisible(true);
   }Any help is appreciated.
