Problem wiht ObjectListDataProvider

Question

Hi all,
I am using ObjectListDataProvider to map an ArrayList to a table component.
( I went through the exaple in winston Prakash's Weblog using ObjectListDataProvider )Problem is if I use an ArrayList return from a method (business mehtod ) nothing is displaying in the table.
Pls help me in doing this or suggest an alternative method to add ArrayList components to a table.
Also I need to know how to access components in Page1(UI) from a class in
the source package. Tried to do by creating a object from Page1. but didn't work.
kaushalya.

Take a look at http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/hibernate.html#object and http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/hibernate.html#08
Although this tutorial fills up the ArrayList with the results from the query, you should be able to figure out how to fill the ArrayList with your own data.
Also take a look at the sample project at http://blogs.sun.com/divas/entry/table_component_sample_project which fills the table with a class in the source package.
Remember that you HAVE to do a build and then close and reopen the project in order to see your newly added custom data provider.
