How to bind JTable and data in a text file ?
tobleron
I'm using NetBeans 6.1. I have a form with JTable inside, and I have a
text file contains data (file name ; ID; person name) :
file1.dcm;ID001;Tobleron
file2.dcm;ID002;Lucas
file3.dcm;ID003;Mark
I know how to bind JTable with database such as MySQL. But how to bind
data in a text file into JTable ? Please help. Thank you in advance.
RedGrittyBrick
A.
Read the text file, split each line, add those elements to an array of
arrays (Object[][]), pass that array to a JTable constructor.
Optionally use a List within the read-loop and construct the array from
it after the last record is read.
or
B.
Have a subclass of AbstractTableModel read the text file.

I prefer with A option. But since my JTable component was created by
NetBeans protected code, how can I modify it ?
RedGrittyBrick
Just edit the source code. How else?
If NetBeans was getting in my way, I'd stop using it! Probably you just
need to read some NetBeans IDE tutorials and better understand which
parts of the source code are editable and which parts are generated by
NetBeans such that any changes you make will be subsequently overwritten
by NetBeans. Usually comments in the code identify the start and end of
such sections.
NetBeans isn't a straightjacket, maybe the way you are using it is
preventing you from learning Java. I'd stop using those wizardy buttons
and start using it as a glorified text editor.

1. Start Notepad
2. Cut & paste the text below into it
3. Save as C:\temp\FileTable.java
4. Open a Command Prompt and enter these commands
5. cd \temp
6. javac FileTable.java

Select the JTable component and modify either its Properties or Code via the
Properties window.
You can set the variable name for the model via the Properties, or generate
custom code for various points in the lifetime of the JTable object
(pre-/post-creation, actual creation, pre-/post-init etc.).

I'm curious: how do you bind a database to a JTable in NetBeans, got a
tutorial somewhere?
To answer your question, you should edit the source, as indicated. Add
a method to the JFrame/form that says something like "setTableModel(
TableModel tm )".
Then use DefaultTableModel. It takes an array, just like the
constructor of JTable. So you can just:
String[][] data = {{"Joe","Smith","123"},
{"Jane","Doe","456"}};
String [] names = {"First","Last","ID"};
DefaultTableModel dtm = new DefaultTableModel( data, names );
Read the file in, set up the DTM as shown, and use the (now public)
setTabelModel method to add the DTM to the protected JTable. You can
also add and remove rows and columns to the DTM later, you don't have to
construct it all at once.
This way, you can use the object NetBeans has made, and still configure
it externally (to the JFrame) at runtime.

The problem with this is that it requires the variable with the model to
be available to the init code in the constructor. Which means you
couldn't modify the JTable later, which is pretty inconvenient.
It's best to learn to the click on the source button, and edit the
source. It only requires a little Java knowledge.
NetBeans gives you code like this
public class MyFrame extends JFrame {
public MyFrame() {
initComponents();
}
private void initComponents() {
// generated code...
}
// generated variables
JTable table1;
}
As long as you don't touch those two generated sections
(initComponents() and the variables at the end), you can do whatever you
want. Adding a public method to MyFrame is pretty easy.
public class MyFrame extends JFrame {
public MyFrame() {
initComponents();
}
public void setTableModel( TableModel tm ) {
table1.setTableModel( tm );
}
private void initComponents() {
// generated code...
}
// generated variables
JTable table1;
}
There might be a fancier way to do this with the GUI editor in NetBeans,
but that's how I do it.

While the form generator in NB imposes a certain structure on the GUI code, it
doesn't prevent anything reasonable that I've ever heard.

I tried to write my own code, because I had to fit this part into the
previous java files. But I faced problem in this part :
-------
Object dataobject = "new Object [][] {" + data + "}, new String []
{'DICOM File', 'Patient ID', 'Patient Name', 'Upload'}";
tableDCM.setModel(new javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel(
dataobject
)
-------
The error message is :
Can not find symbol
symbol : constructor DefaultTableModel(java.lang.Object)
location : class javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel
How to solve it ?

Yes, of course it does. I was assuming that much.

Sorry, I don't understand this statement. After the initialization code is
complete you can do whatever you want with the JTable, just as you can with any
Component regardless of whether you create it manually or using NetBeans GUI.
The pre-/post-creation, creation, pre-/post-init etc. actually allow you to
modify how the component is created in the initComponents() method which
NetBeans doesn't allow you to modify manually.

But NetBeans doesn't allow you to modify that part of the source. If you want to
create a JTable with a model as the parameter to the constructor you can only
do it via the above means.

You can edit the protected code (with wizardy buttons), but you have to
go through the GUI editor ("design" view of a JFrame). You can edit
properties, event handlers etc. there. Just choose "custom code" in the
dialog box of said property/handler.
Lew
Read the Javadocs:
<http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/table/DefaultTableModel.html>
Use a constructor that actually exists.
You tried to use a DefaultTableModel constructor that takes a single object (a
'String') argument. There is not any such constructor.
The fact that the 'String' contains a representation of pseudocode doesn't
make it anything other than a 'String'.

You probably meant
Object[][] values = new Object [][] { data.split(";") };
But the above won't work - see the code I provided earlier for creating
an Object[][] from your text file.
String[] heading = new String []
{'DICOM File', 'Patient ID', 'Patient Name', 'Upload'}";
tableDCM.setModel(new DefaultTableModel(values, heading));
I can't imagine what you were thinking!

Here is my code. Actually I tried to collect data from a text file and
put them into JTable. But NetBeans shows warning at
tableDCM.setModel() command.

I repeat, there is no constructor of DefaultTableModel that takes a single
'Object' parameter. Read the Javadocs. That constructor does not exist.
The Javadocs:
<http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/table/DefaultTableModel.html>
You will note a no-arg constructor, one that takes two ints, one that takes an
'Object [][]' and an 'Object []', one that takes an 'Object []' and an int,
one that takes a 'Vector' (yecch) and an int, and one that takes two 'Vector's
(yecch squared). Not one single solitary constructor that takes a single
'Object' parameter.

It looks like this was intended to be either
public DCMUpload(JFrame app) {
super(app);
or
public DCMUpload(JFrame parent) {
super(parent);
the latter is consistent with the following constructor.

So the whole of initComponents is generated by netbeans and should not

I have a hard time believing that netbeans created the following code.
If the following code is created by tobleron it should not be in

Do you want data to be initialised to null or to "", please make up your
mind!

Variable names like text2 make me wonder what text1 represents!
Is there a text1 in the same scope?

What is this trying to accomplish? Please explain the reasoning for
having your program construct, at run time, a fragment of source code in
a String?

Don't catch exceptions if you are going to ignore them. At the very

You can't assign a list of values to a String variable.

Why is this still here? Didn't I and other people point out how wrong
this was and suggest syntactically valid working ways to assign useful
values to a String [].

Earlier you were trying to assign column headers. From the preceding few
lines, I have the impression that netbeans provides a means for you to
do that.
Well, ick. computer generated code is fit only for reading by computers

to output the values of that array in a tabular arrangement. Only when
you have done this should you make the leap to GUI programming.

I used tobleron for my Google forum's nick name. But I used freebird
for my windows login. So all of my java files generated by Netbeans
will have "@author freebird". So I think there's another person used
freebird for his/her Goggle forum's nick name. It's not me.

1. I used NetBeans to design the layout of the form, added components
such as label, panel, scroolpanel, etc.
2. As I mentioned, NetBeans didn't allow me to edit its generated
code, so I copied the whole code, opened a new blank java file, pasted
it, and tried to modify it.

I used a text file to stored the data. So, I tried to opened the text
file, extracted the values, and looped until the end. I tried to
constructed the JTable with this values. That's what I tried to do.

I studied. Give me time to understand and to implement your points.
Don't be confused with /* .... */ code. That was the original NetBeans
code that I tried to modify.
What I want to do is :
1. Open the text file, extract the values.
2. Construct the JTable using those values, including rows and columns
values.
3. Add select option in each row, so user can select which record will
be processed.
4. Add "OK" button to process each selected records.
I hope you understand what I'm figuring out.

Points 1, 2 and 3 are handled by the working program I posted in this
thread earlier:
<http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.java.programmer/msg/5416a54b511eb2a6>
For point 4, I'd add a JButton and an ActionListener,
I'd add a `getID(int row)` method to TextFileModel,
create a method `process(ID id) in FileTable
and call it in the ActionListener:
processID(model.getID(table.getSelectedRow()))

That isn't necessary. NetBeans's form-based development is perfectly capable
of modification outside the guarded section to accomplish any desired effect.

This doesn't explain why you tried to construct, at run time, a fragment of
(syntactically incorrect) source code in a String. The question was why you
tried that particular idiom, not what your overall goal was.

It is best to remove commented-out code and other potentially confusing
elements from Usenet code samples. It is not enough to instruct those from
whom you request assistance to overlook your failure to do so.

and within the guarded section custom code can be inserted using the "Code" tab
of the Properties window.
