Java™ How To Program (Early Objects), Tenth Edition

24.6.2 Querying the books Database

The next example (Figs. 24.25 and 24.28) allows the user to enter any query into the program. The example displays the result of a query in a JTable, using a TableModel object to provide the ResultSet data to the JTable. A JTable is a swing GUI component that can be bound to a database to display the results of a query. Class ResultSetTableModel (Fig. 24.25) performs the connection to the database via a TableModel and maintains the ResultSet. Class DisplayQueryResults (Fig. 24.28) creates the GUI and specifies an instance of class ResultSetTableModel to provide data for the JTable.
