Hi;
I hava done this code but still geting a mistake with tomcat
Next steps i follow to conectand display on data table:
1.-Create conecction with MySQL usen service.
2.-On service drag "directorio" to Table
3.-Binding all objets (Textfield1, Table and Button)
4.-On button1 create the next code:
Object optener =3;
//set the dataprovider with element number 3, on DIRECTORIO.ID of datatable directorio
directorioDataProvider.setCursorRow(directorioDataProvider.findFirst("DIRECTORIO.ID", optener));
//Get the row with same ID=3
getSessionBean1().getDirectorioRowSet().setObject(1, optener);
//Shows the inf on table
getSessionBean1().getDirectorioRowSet().execute();
directorioDataProvider.refresh();
