BeansBinding JTable in NetBeans

Question

I want to display the beans list in JTable. The idea is that each column will be a preselected field in the bean, and each row will be a bean in the List. Slide # 32 looks very promising: http://swinglabs.org/docs/presentations/2007/DesktopMatters/beans-binding-talk.pdf

However, NetBeans is not very friendly allowing me to assign a bean field to a column. I can right-click JTable and click Bind-> Elements and link it to my beans list. However, he will not allow me to indicate what happens in each column. The only option is to create a binding that makes NetBeans pretty much useless for this type of thing.

Is there any detail I am missing? It seems that JTable BeansBinding in NetBeans is just broken.

thanks

Answer 1

I have a job. You cannot use the "Bind" option for JTables. Here's how to make it work:

• Right click on JTable.
• Click "Table Content."
  • Binding Source: Form
  • Binding expression: $ {var} (where var is the name of the beans list).
• Click the Columns tab.
• Match the column to the expression. It should look something like this: $ {id} not $ {var.id}.

Note. Each field displayed in a column must have a getter.
