I am using MyEclipse Professional 7.5

I have used hibernate to reverse engineer an existing database (dao’s etc).
I have used Matisse to create a form with a jtable in a scroll window

What is the simplest way to use MyEclipse to wire a db table to the jTable.
I know that I must specify a model for the jTable, but in the MyEclipse example the model is set up to contain ‘hard coded’ data, not a db table.

I guess that one must bind the database table to a DefaultDataModel and then base the jTable on this. Must I use the DAO findAll() method? But this returns a List, not a DataModel!

How does one do this. Will MyEclipse automate part of it?

I am currently sitting with the database tables reverse engineered into Classes and DAOs etc, but am stuck.

Some help would be appreciated.

In my question, ‘DataModel’ should be replaced by ‘TableModel’ in the few places where I have made a mistake.
Sorry.

Should I just use the jdbc ResultSet methods to bind to DefaultTableModel?
In this case I don’t use hibernate DAO classes etc.

Mike,

Sorry for the delayed response. MyEclipse will not generate any code to automate the mapping of Hibernate objects to a DefaultTableModel.

However, it should not be too difficult for you to extend DefaultTableModel and override a method like getValueAt(int, int) to return the correct value from the findAll() list.

Re: Hibernate vs direct ResultSets, that really depends on the complexity of your application. Both Hibernate and ResultSets would work for a table model, but if you have many inter-related tables and a schema that will change over time, Hibernate will be easier in the long run.

Hope this helps.
