java - Data from database to JList

Question

I created a database, in which one of the table name is Location which has 2 columns named Stadium and City. I want that data in each column should get retrieved in 2 JList, but I don't know how. Can you guys tell me how to do it?

Answer 1

The normal way to display a table from a database is of course a JTable. But if you want to opt for 2 JLists instead, it is basically the same principle.

Create a model based on the contents of the database (in this case a ListModel). You can probably just extend from AbstractListModel. Once you have your model, it is trivial to create a JList for it by just passing the model in the constructor.

See the How to use lists tutorial and pay special attention on the Creating a model part of that tutorial
