How to use/populate JTable in Jdev 3.0 ?

Question

Is there any tutorial or examples available
on how to use JTable in JDeveloper 3.0 ?
After creating business objects project
and application, what steps do I take to
a) put a jtable class object into my application ? I have tried creating a
frame (JFrame) using new\objects\frame, and
then dragging JTable into the UI, but don't
know how to connect things from there.
b). manipulate/populate the grid from there
using the business objects created
earlier in the project ?
The html documentation included with JDev 3 provides some clues on individual key word searches, but does not at all connect the dots. What is needed
here is a tutorial like some of the others
included.

Answer 1

You may find the following steps useful.
Create an InfoBus form by:
Select menu File | New...
Select "InfoBus Data Form" and press OK
Go through the wizard and create a
Detail or Master Detail form.
Be sure to place the detail in a GRID control (last few pages of wizard).
Then look at the generated code. This form will contain a useful class GridControl which contains a JTable element. Most noteworthy is that the JTable is already hooked up to the data source.
In particular, the GridControl that is in
your source has a public method:
public final JTable getTable()
This gives you access to the JTable to further customize the way you need.
Ofcourse there are other tutorials that touch
on the above, but you won't find a tutorial
on how to hook up a JTable to a database because we have many more advanced classes
(InfoSwing: GridControl,...) that do that
and much more for you. You will be much more
productive if you rely on the additional InfoSwing components.
I hope this helps,
