Thanks For Your Time Jiri.
This is really driving me crazy here, and I have no doubt the problem is simple, but it does illustrate an ease of use issue with the Beans Binding support in Netbeans. And don't get me wrong, I LOVE Netbeans and appreciate every developer that has contributed, nevertheless I'm having problems figuring this out.
I have a private method defined in the JFrame that contains the main class for this project. The method follows:
private void prepareCategoryList(){
categoryList = ListGenerator.getCategories();
}
And then in constructor before initComponents.
prepareCategoryList();
initComponents();
And when I do exactly what you described right-click table that I have been previously using and bind it to the categoryList , java.util.List<Category>, it works fine. The table displays the data from the Database. So I know that the Category List is populated.
However, when a drag and drop a new table fro the palette and drop it onto the Frame with the other table and bind it, it throws an Exception at startup.

Calling getCategories!

Why does the binding not work after following the Wizard to "hook it up" to the same List<Category> that the other table is "hooked up to"?
I obviously need to debug the source code and see where the tables have different properties, which will take a while.
Again, thanks for your time.

Hi!
So you want to use jtable binding to fill jtable content withou wizards.
Did I understand it correctly?
Small example:
- add Car class to your project
public class Car {
private String manufacturer;
private String model;
public String getManufacturer() {
return manufacturer;
}
public void setManufacturer(String manufacturer) {
this.manufacturer = manufacturer;
}
public String getModel() {
return model;
}
public void setModel(String model) {
this.model = model;
}
}
- add bean property to your form
public class YourFrame extends javax.swing.JFrame {
private List<Car> _cars = new ArrayList<Car>();
public void setCarList(List<Car> cars) {
_cars = cars;
}
public List<Car> getCarList() {
if (_cars.isEmpty()) {
Car car =new Car();
car.setManufacturer("Lancia");
car.setModel("Lybra");
_cars.add(car);
car = new Car();
car.setManufacturer("Lancia");
car.setModel("Thesis");
_cars.add(car);
}
return _cars;
}
.....
- select jTable and invoke bind dialog Bind -> elements
- as Binding source set Form
- as Binding expression tree select node "carList java.util.List" or
just type "${carList}"
- select fields to display
- run the form
Hope it helps.
