How to print a JTable in Java Swing ?

Hi,
I have an application written in java swing.Now I want to write a print module that prints some details.The details includes the JTextArea and JTable that changes in size dynamically.One solution i found is to put them in a panel and print that panel.But it is static.The size of JTable and JTextArea changes, according to the given input.Please give me a solution for this.

Printing is a bit of a nightmare, actually. Most of the trouble is layout. Basically a Printable is passed a page number and a graphics context and has to work out what components go on that page and where. It can't depend on the pages being requested in sequence.
You can call getPrintable from a JTable, and you can call that through your own Printable in order to add extra pages. However you can't ask a Printable how many pages it's going to produce, you just have to invoke it and see if it returns a code to say that the page is out of range.
And the Printable JTable generates is very limited, the table has to occupy full pages, you can't tell it to start in a different place on the first page, or find out how much space it's used on the last page. The headers and footers generate JTable's own idea of a page number, not yours.
You can call print() on most Swing components, but you'll need to set their size and location first, and/or mess with the transformation in the graphics context.

You can't just display data from a text file in a JTable. You have you understand the structure of the data so that you can parse the data and create a table model that can access the data in a row/column format. Here is an example of a simple program that does this:

How to print PDF files using java print API

Hi,
I was goign throw lot of discusion and reading lot of forums related to print pdf files using java api. but nothing seems to be working for me. Can any one tell me how to print pdf files using java api.
Thanks in advance

Mike,
Can't seem to get hold of the example described in your reply below. If you could let us have the URL to get then it would be great.
My GUI application creates a pdf document which I need to print. I want to achieve this using the standard Java class PrinterJob (no 3rd party APIs I'm afraid, commercial restraints etc ..). I had a stab at it using the following code. When executed I get the pretty printer dialog then when I click ok to print, nothing happens!
boolean showPrintDialog=true;
PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob ();
printJob.setJobName ("Contract.pdf");
try {
if (showPrintDialog) {
if (printJob.printDialog()) {
printJob.print();
else
printJob.print ();
} catch (Exception PrintException) {
PrintException.printStackTrace();
Thank you and a happy new year.
Cheers,
Chris

How to play flash files in java swings

Hi All ,
I have a requirement in java swings , i want to play advertisements ( flash files in swings )

Thank you all for sharing knowledge in this great forum .

I have a java desktop application which is actually a
kiosk application. I have to run some promotion
videos in my application when no user is using the
kiosk.Will the kiosks all be running the same OS?
The reason I ask is that JMF is available in both
standard and performance pack versions. The PP
provides a wider variety of formats, but runs only
on Win. and *nix.
videos can be any avi or neother which can easily be
played in java applications.That is handy. The JMF standard pack provides
support for a number of flavors of AVI, but not all.
What is the best way for me to play video files in a
java application??I would suggest checking if the 'standard' version
of the JMF can play* the current AVI's. If it can, use
the standard JMF for the project, if not, look to
converting the AVI's to something the JMF can
deal with, this might involve storing the video or
audio of the AVI's in a different format - you
might have to experiment to get the right
combination, but the JMF 'supported formats'
is a good guide.
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/formats.html
* To check if JMF can play them, install it and
try loading the AVI's in JMStudio - the default
player.

How to fix the value of first column in the JTable in java swing for every

Hi ,
I have a swing page that have table panel in which there is a table of size 7x4 now when I click on the perticulat row then that row data will displayin the table like that the selected row become the second column in the new table and the fist column of this table will remain constant for all the entry but the second column update according to the roe which is selected .How it is possible .
Thanks in Advace,
anu

One thing you can do is to prevent the user from editing that column and programatically supply the values of that column yourself.
JTable table = new JTable() {
   public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col) {
       if(col == 0) {
          return false;
       return super.isCellEditable(row, col);
};This allows you to prevent the user from editing the column information so you can supply some sort of a default value for the column always

How to print a PDF file from Swing(JFC/swing)

Hi,
I am able to dislay a PDF file in Swing but how can I print it from there. I want to do it without using Acrobat reader.

You can use the "System Exec.vi". The command line should have the following structure:
"<Path to AcroRd32.exe>" /t "<Path to document>" "Printer name"
For example"
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /t "C:\myreport.pdf" "Tektronix Phaser 300i"
