How to show the Oracle table list in a JTable?

So I am trying to build a CRUD app, I am able to perform all the operations in a console app and now I want to use the same methods in my GUI application. I have setup all the necessary fields and a table, the add button works and I can implement the others too! my question is how to work with the JTable?
Here is the code for my window builder. You can see that I have set columns for the tables too.
this is what the GUI looks like

This is the actionlistener code
btnStock.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
OrderExample window = new OrderExample();
}
});
I've tried to set window to visible but it just gives me an error.

The class OrderExamplehas all of its functionality in its (static) main method which is never been called by your Actionlistener implementation.
You could simply add the call to OrderExample.main to your Actionlistener implementation, but you should better first move the content of main to a non static method (e.g.: init) and call that.

How to Show text retrieved from database on JButton, JTextArea in Java?

I am trying to build a quiz app and I managed to build the database. I created a GUI using the card layout to switch between panels and I tried to retrieve the questions and options from from the database to a JtextArea with no success. My question is how do I get the visual components (jtext area,jbutton to display the content from the database) I want them to automatically set the text according with the question number.
this is my code

Since you didn't mention your code, its difficult to give you a short precise example. I would recommend you to go through this tutorial which retrieves information (name and number) and display it in JTextArea.
Extracting the key points from the tutorial below:
Database connection establishment and fetching information
String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/";
String db = "databasename";
String driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
String user = "xxxx";
String pass = "xxxx";
Connection con = null;
PreparedStatement pstatement = null;
Class.forName(driver).newInstance();
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url + db , user, pass);
pstatement = con.prepareStatement("SELECT name, phonenumber FROM tablename");
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url + db, user, pass);
ResultSet rs = pstatement.executeQuery();
while(rs.next()){
String name = rs.getString(1);
int phonenumber = rs.getInt(2);
}
Set text in JTextArea
Then use setText method of JTextArea to set the text. For example, recordTextArea.setText(name + " " + phonenumber);.

SQLite database not displaying on button click

Evening all,
So I've been working on creating a local database using SQLite. (As a plugin that is part of Firefox). It uses three classes:
databaseConnection
Login
Display
and two tables (which come under the database MyFilms) called:
Users
MyFilms
databaseConnection is used to simply just connect to my SQLite database MyFilms, which it does fine.
The second class, Login, access my Users table from my database so it can access the logins and proceed to my GUI called Display.
Display will load the following GUI, which consists of a button, which when clicked is supposed to load the data from my database table MyFilms into a JTable:
However, when I click the button, nothing loads... it even looks like the JTable is not there, but when I check my code it defiantly is!
The code where I think the problem might lie is:
JButton btnLoadData = new JButton("Load Data");
btnLoadData.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
try{
String query ="Select * from MyFilms";
PreparedStatement pst = connection.prepareStatement(query);
ResultSet rs = pst.executeQuery();
table.setModel(DbUtils.resultSetToTableModel(rs));
}
catch (Exception anException){
anException.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
Any idea why the database is not showing here? Please find the code to each class below:
databaseConnection:
import java.sql.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class databaseConnection {
Connection conn = null;
public static Connection dbConnector(){
try{
Class.forName("org.sqlite.JDBC");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:C:\\Users\\Joe\\workspace\\MyFilms.sqlite");

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers..
However, when I run it in Eclipse I receive no errors at all. It runs fine, just does not display the database in the JTable.

Could you please replace your Display.java with the following:
Display.java
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.EventQueue;

import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.sql.Connection;

} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
Connection connection = null;
/**
* Create the frame.
*/
public Display() {
connection = databaseConnection.dbConnector();
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setBounds(100, 100, 711, 443);
contentPane = new JPanel();
contentPane.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
setContentPane(contentPane);
contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
JButton btnLoadData = new JButton("Load Data");
btnLoadData.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
try {
String query = "Select * from MyFilms";
PreparedStatement pst = connection.prepareStatement(query);
ResultSet rs = pst.executeQuery();
table.setModel(DbUtils.resultSetToTableModel(rs));
} catch (Exception anException) {
anException.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
// btnLoadData.setBounds(596, 11, 89, 23);
JPanel buttonPanel = new JPanel();
buttonPanel.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
buttonPanel.add(btnLoadData, BorderLayout.EAST);
contentPane.add(buttonPanel, BorderLayout.NORTH);
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane();
// scrollPane.setBounds(684, 45, -675, 349);
table = new JTable();
scrollPane.setViewportView(table);
contentPane.add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
}
}
and see the results?
Few changes have been made to your code. They are:
1) You first added scrollPane to the contentPane then you added table to scrollPane. I changed the order.
2) You used absolute layout. I changed that with BorderLayout.
The result displayed on my system is:
Hope this helps!

Eclipse Jasper report in Java Swing Application

Good Day, I have created a Java GUI with Eclipse(Java JDK 1.8.0_31 & Eclipse 4.4.1). So then I have installed Jasper report v6 in my same project and created jasper report inside my project.
It is generating report and opening Jasper Viewer window.
See the code below;
DB.java
package jasper1;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class DB {
Connection conn = null;
public static class database {
public static String host;
public static String db;
public static String user;
public static String pwd;

The questions are:
Is there any way to view this report inside my form object?.
How can I compile this to one file to work in cross platform? I tried to export it to .Jar(Executable Jar) file. But it doesn't include report.jrxml. It is not secure to keep jrxml file outside because it's user readable. How can I compile the project more secure?
What are the exact Jasper Library jar files to add in the project? I have added all jars in jasperreports-6.0.0\dist and jasperreports-6.0.0\lib. When I export it to Executable Jar, file size will be more than 50MB.
If anyone has alternate solution like BIRT Reports, Kindly answer these questions instead of Jasper Reports.
