Then (after reading GustlyWind suggestion), you should definitly take a look a GlazedLists library (glazedlists.com), that will help a lot in JTable usage. — jfpoilpret

GustlyWind's comment is the best place to look on how to use a JTable. The key for the data is getting the items in a model. You can use the DefaultTableModel which would require that your table results are put into a 2D Array or Vector. Or you could implement your own model that uses other custom objects from your application or a different underlying data structure.

Either way, as you loop through the ResultSet of your query you are going to have to pull the relevant data and stick it in some sort of Collection.

So, in Java don't exists a mechanism like .net databinding. Something like: mytable.datasource = myds ; mytable.datamember = my-table-name ?

Not that familiar with .net databinding, there might be a third party library that could do that, but it looks scary.

In my experience (indirect only, I have supervised a team using it), .NET data-binding is a nightmare for applications with a complex UI, it almost always leads to spaghetti code that nobody can maintain.
