| The four examples in this directory show how to use some of the |
| features of the JTable component. |
| |
| TableExample: |
| This application includes a GUI for configuring the |
| database connection and specifying the query. |
| TableExample2: |
| The query and database connection are specified at the command |
| line. The results are displayed in a JTable. |
| TableExample3: |
| Is a minimal example showing how to plug a generic sorter into the |
| JTable. |
| TableExample4: |
| Uses specialized renderers and editors. |
| |
| TableExample3 and TableExample4 do not depend on database connectivity |
| and can be compiled and run in the normal way. |
| |
| The most interesting example is probably TableExample, which has a |
| TextArea that can be used as an editor for an SQL expression. Pressing |
| the Fetch button sends the expression to the database. The results are |
| displayed in the JTable underneath the text area. |
| |
| To run TableExample and TableExample2, you need to find a driver for |
| your database and set the environment variable JDBCHOME to a directory |
| where the driver is installed. See the following URL for a list of |
| JDBC drivers provided by third party vendors: |
| |
| http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/drivers.html |
| |
| Once you find the driver, you can run one of the database examples by |
| specifying a class path that includes the JDBC classes and the example |
| classes. |
| |
| For example: |
| |
| java -classpath $(JDBCHOME):TableExample.jar TableExample |
| |
| These instructions assume that this installation's version of the java |
| command is in your path. If it isn't, then you should either |
| specify the complete path to the java command or update your |
| PATH environment variable as described in the installation |
| instructions for the Java(TM) SE Development Kit. |
