Hello,

as I wrote I'm new to Swing and JTables and the like.

I write an application wich will load a bunch of data (literature
entries in detail) from an XML file and display it in an JTable. I
managed to read the XML file and get the data in a form I can use to
fill the table. Now   my question: How do I use the JTable?

What I did by now:

I wrote my own TableModel extended from DefaultTabelModel to represent
my data (i think this class works fine)

In my application I first create an instance from my TabelModel class.

Then I create a new JTable and give it my TableModel instance in the
constructor.

Now I need to get my data into that table. For this I call the
setValueAt() method of the TabelModel-Object to fill the modell.

Then finally all the stuff will get displayd by calling show on the
parent frame.

----

My applications starts and the data gets readily read from the xml file.
I see the JFrame and the table. But there are no data in the JTable.
There are exact that much columns I intended to use with the right
column headings. But no cell data.

Do I have a major error in using JTable and TableModel? What is the
right way to fill the table? Calling the setValueAt() method on the
Model or on the JTable?

Thanks

Falko
