here is code to collect the data pls what can i do to get the data on the form display on the JTable in the all categories as on the form pls...
private String collectData()
          String toPrint = "";
          for (int i = 0; i < rowData.length; i++)
               Component[] currentRowComps = rowData;
               for (int j = 0; j < currentRowComps.length; j++)
                    Component currentComp = currentRowComps[j];
                    if (currentComp instanceof TextField)
                         TextField tf = (TextField) currentComp;
                         toPrint += tf.getText() + " - ";
                    else if (currentComp instanceof JComboBox)
                         JComboBox box = (JComboBox) currentComp;
                         Object selection = box.getSelectedItem();
                         if (selection != null)
                              toPrint += selection.toString() + " - ";
               toPrint += "\n";
          return toPrint;
     private File newFile(String data)
          File newfile = null;
          try
               newfile = new File("I:\\ouput.doc");
               System.out.println("DATA? - " + data);
               FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(newfile);
               fos.write(data.getBytes());
               fos.close();
               // JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Save File");
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "File saved.", "Success",
               JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
          catch (IOException ioexc)
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Error while saving file: " + ioexc,
               "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
          return null;
private void addLabelTextRows(JLabel[] labels,
JTextField[] textFields,
GridBagLayout gridbag,
Container container) {
GridBagConstraints c = new GridBagConstraints();
c.anchor = GridBagConstraints.EAST;
int numLabels = labels.length;
for (int i = 0; i < numLabels; i++) {
c.gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.RELATIVE; //next-to-last
c.fill = GridBagConstraints.NONE; //reset to default
c.weightx = 0.0; //reset to default
container.add(labels[i], c);
c.gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER; //end row
c.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;
c.weightx = 1.0;
container.add(textFields[i], c);
