Problems in creating (working) DataControl

Question

Hi,
I have written a Customer class with name, age and email attributes. Next I wrote a CustomersService that has a "List getAllCustomers()" method and return a hardcoded list of 5 customer objects.
When I try to create a DataControl from the CustomerService, it doesn't look like it is working ok. It creates a data control but only shows a single attribute "element" instead of the attributes of the Customer class. I've modified the BeanClass from CustomerService to Customer but it didn't work.
Thanks,

Hi,
I reproduced it with an ArrayList that returns a list of object and it works. It seems that the data control cannot resolve the structure of the list. try create the files below and build you DataControl again
package beanprj;
public class PersonClass
private String name;
private int age;
public PersonClass()
public void setName(String name)
this.name = name;
public String getName()
return name;
public void setAge(int age)
this.age = age;
public int getAge()
return age;
package beanprj;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class PeopleBean
private ArrayList people = new ArrayList();
public PeopleBean()
int i = 0;
for (i = 0; i < 4; i++)
PersonClass p = new PersonClass();
p.setName("ORCL"+i);
p.setAge(30+i);
people.add(p);
public void setPeople(ArrayList people)
this.people = people;
public ArrayList getPeople()
return people;
Create the datacontol from PeopleBean
