Database to table

Question

Dear Paul Bull!
I am new to java programming. I have created a JList containing the names of some
persons ( initally) and I want to know how to associate this name from the details of
that person. The user should be able to click on the name of that person and retrieve
the details associated with him in a form of JTable. The user should be able to add new
names to the list and associate with corresponding details like name, age, sex, &c.
Please help me!
Please send me the the answer in form of working source code.
I do not want to use JDBC.
Thanks!

Answer 1

Dear !
Before your suggestion I had created the application in the following way which did not work because there was run time error saying
"ArrayIndexOutOfBoundException".
But even if this exception had not occured, I do not think this code will work the way I want.
