JDBC to JTable output query regarding making buttons work in GUI Editor for Netbeans

so, i'm working on a project where I have to use a search button to find user information from a jdbc database, and so far I've got some of the code to work and added fields and data to the database, but once i hit search in the jtextfield it doesn't display any data in the table. So, i'm wondering if someone can take a look at this code and tell me where the mistake is, the jbutton is supposed to connect to the mainframe where the database connection information is stored.
this is the main frame code:
package guestbook;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
public class MainFrame extends javax.swing.JFrame {
public static String dbURL = "jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/Coolkidsclub;create=true;user=Vic";
public static Connection conn = null;
/**
* Creates new form MainFrame
*/
public MainFrame() {
try {
Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver").newInstance();//"org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver" to use derby driver
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(dbURL);
initComponents();
}
catch (Exception e){
}
initComponents();
}

EDIT: After a day or two I did a stackTrace exception printout and it says something about the statement stmt code being wrong do i just need to add a line in the searchframe to connect to the database and forget the mainframe connection?

So, i'm wondering if someone can take a look at this code and tell me where the mistake is, the jbutton is supposed to connect to the
mainframe where the database connection information is stored.
Well the first thing I can say is it's a lot of code. Now, there are several conceptual mistakes in your code that may lead to the stated problem.
Don't mix View (user interface) with Database connections
Beware that applications are tipically designed using layers or levels to isolate and separate responsibilities. In this case having a static Connection object within a JFrame simply breaks this principle. The first thing to do is separate database connection and logic from the user interface.
Don't ignore exceptions, always give them a correct treatment
This one of the worse things we can do:
try {
...
} catch (Exception e) {}
If an exception has been thrown it means that something unexpected happened. Just ignoring the exception in an empty catch block won't make it be solved but will hide this fact to us. Consequently we won't be able to solve the problem because we don't actually know that something wrong is heppening.
Avoid using static references
If you need to use a static to access a class member then it's probably there's a design problem in our code. While static fields are possible and sometimes useful (i.e.: define constants) from an OOP point of view they are not a good choice because break the encapsulation principle. We can just give access to a class member to the outside by providing getters and setters.
EDIT: After a day or two I did a stackTrace exception printout and it says something about the statement stmt code being wrong do i just
need to add a line in the searchframe to connect to the database and
forget the mainframe connection?
You would have to include the stack trace in your question, but let's take a look to the SQL query sent to the database:
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select * from COOLKIDS " + jTextField1.getText().toString());
Most likely there is a WHERE clause missing in your SQL statmement (I don't know the text obtained from jTextField1 so it's just a guess). SQL statments tipically have this minimal structure:
SELECT fields list
FROM tables
WHERE conditions
On the other hand you might consider use PreparedStatement like this:
String sql = "SELECT * FROM coolkids WHERE name = ?";
PreparedStatement pst = connection.prepareStatement(sql);
pst.setString(1, jTextField1.getText());
ResultSet rs = pst.executeQuery();
Once again, this code should be isolated from the UI and jTextField1 text should be passed as an argument to an appropriate Controller/Persistence layer class.

How to reduce the loading time of an Open file using Swing?

I want to open a file without taking any time.When I click on open Button immediately it has been opened.But,In my application It has taken more than two minutes for large files.I try to open a file,It has size 44MB.This file takes more than two minutes time to open.I want to open large size files quickly.Once check my open action code.
The below code shows the working example of my Application.
Sample code:
public class OpenDemo extends javax.swing.JFrame {
JTextPane textPane;
JScrollPane scrollPane;
int i=0;
JTextField status;
public OpenDemo() {

textPane=new JTextPane();

jMenu1.setText("File");
open.setText("Open");
open.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {

The SwingWorker API outlines a suitable approach. Because of the size, I'd update a TableModel, as shown here, rather than a text component. Lines will begin appearing almost immediately, while the GUI remains responsive. The listening JTable will need to render only visible lines, and you may be able to leverage sorting and filtering.

There is some overhead (progress animation) and some things I would not have done, like a AWT event thread blocking actionPerformed.
Go with your code to https://codereview.stackexchange.com/ because a code review might be useful.
What I saw as optimizable:
Give an initial capacity to the StringBuilder.
... = new StringBuilder(1024*64); // (int)file.length()?
Replace the Scanner with a BufferdReader using readLine().
Ideal would be to check the speed of Files.readAllBytes; whether a progress indication is needed.
String s = new String(Files.readAllBytes(file.toPath()));
Second attempt:
First a sanity measure: closing the file.
Then I did less progress animation, which should definitely speed things up.
It will no longer show all text in the text pane, only every hundredth line.
try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file))) {
final int PROGRESS_EVERY = 100;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
lineNumber++;
text.append(line);
text.append("\n");
if (linenumber % PROGRESS_EVERY== 0) {
ProgressData data = new ProgressData();
data.number = lineNumber;
data.line = line;
publish(data);
}
}
if (linenumber % PROGRESS_EVERY != 0) {
ProgressData data = new ProgressData();
data.number = lineNumber;
data.line = line;
publish(data);
}
}
And then
private StringBuilder text = new StringBuilder(1024 * 128);
At last:
Change textPane from JTextPane to JTextArea. Considerable gain in speed.

How to add JCheckBox in JTable?

First of all i apologize for my english neglect that i will explain all my problem.
First i want JCheckBox in the JTable i have.
I am retrieving student id and student name from database in column index 0 and 1. I want third column should be Absent/Present which will initially take whether student is present or absent by JCheckbox Value.
Here my code for JTable values :
Attendance.java

PreparedStatement pre = con.prepareStatement("select studentid,name from student");
ResultSet rs = pre.executeQuery();
while(rs.next())
{
Vector<String> employee = new Vector<String>();
employee.add(rs.getString(1)); //Empid
employee.add(rs.getString(2));//name
employeeVector.add(employee);
}
if(con!=null)
con.close();
rs.close();
pre.close();
return employeeVector;
}
}

My problemis that I can't add a JCheckBox in front of every student I have seen JTabel model, renderer and all but I don't get anything. I want something like this...
I've search for this stuff for a couple of weeks but did bot get anything suitable for this

Start with How to use tables.
Your table model needs several things.
It needs to return Boolean.class from the getColumnClass method for the appropriate column. You will need to override this method.
The method isCellEditable will need to return true for the table column you want to make editable (so the user can change the value of the column)
You're table model will need to be capable of holding the value for the column
Make sure you pass a valid value for the boolean column for the row, otherwise it will be null

Ps- I would HIGHLY recommend you avoid form editors until you have a better understanding of how Swing works - IMHO

Well if you add Boolean value as data into the table model, DefaultCellRendered will render it as checbox by itself, so where is the problem?

a bug of JTable.columnMoved method

javax.swing.JTable has a bug,
if we sort the table while a null valued cell is editing,
and whose column class does not have a constructor with "new Object[] { new String() }" parameter, eg. Long.class,
the JTable will throw an exception.
I think that because javax.swing.JTable tries to remove the cell editor twice;
So I plan to override the JTable.columnMoved method as:
#Override
public void columnMoved(TableColumnModelEvent e) {
if (isEditing() && !getCellEditor().stopCellEditing()) {
if(getCellEditor() != null) { // In javax.swing.JTable, no this check point
getCellEditor().cancelCellEditing();
}
}
repaint();
}
I felt that's not good enough, since it's not friendly for code readers, they may know JTable well, and do not like my sub classes like this.
Is there a better solution?
Thanks a lot.
When running the following codes, double click one cell (do not input anything) and then click the header, the exception will show up.

I can reproduce the issue with the code you provided. I blame the JTable#stopCellEditing implementation
public boolean stopCellEditing() {
String s = (String)super.getCellEditorValue();
// Here we are dealing with the case where a user
// has deleted the string value in a cell, possibly
// after a failed validation. Return null, so that
// they have the option to replace the value with
// null or use escape to restore the original.
// For Strings, return "" for backward compatibility.
if ("".equals(s)) {
if (constructor.getDeclaringClass() == String.class) {
value = s;
}
super.stopCellEditing();
}
try {
value = constructor.newInstance(new Object[]{s});
}
catch (Exception e) {
((JComponent)getComponent()).setBorder(new LineBorder(Color.red));
return false;
}
return super.stopCellEditing();
}
You enter the first if, where super.stopCellEditing is called. The return value of this call is ignored. Then the newInstance call throws an exception, which is catched but then false is returned, no matter what the return value was of super.stopCellEditing. This sounds incorrect to me. I would log the bug with Oracle with the code you provided

I can't see any issue, any bug, TableCellEditor is canceled properly on sorting and column reordering,

}
public static void main(String args[]) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
TableWithTimer tableWithTimer = new TableWithTimer();
}
});
}
}

The issue - analyzed correctly by #Robin - has several aspects:
stopCellEditing incorrectly firing an editingStopped even when returning false
stopCellEditing firing twice if an empty value is accepted by the constructor
While the second is "just" violating its contract, the first has severe consequences:
as noted in the OP's question: throwing an NPE if client code tries to really terminate the edit, that is first stop and on failure cancel. Ironically, the most visible appearance is in jdk7 table.columnMoved - where the formerly (up to jdk6) incorrect removeEditor is replaced by the Right-Thing.
might lead to data corruption if the edit started with a valid value which is deleted while editing: the editingStopped event triggers the table to replace the valid value in the tableModel with null ...
Enough reason to fix in JXTable by different logic in GenericEditor (the fix can be used in a custom GenericEditor as well, no coupling to swingx: simply c&p core GenericEditor and replace its stopCellEditing with the following):
#Override
public boolean stopCellEditing() {
String s = (String) super.getCellEditorValue();
// JW: changed logic to hack around (core!) Issue #1535-swingx
// don't special case empty, but string contructor:
// if so, by-pass reflection altogether
if (constructor.getDeclaringClass() == String.class) {
value = s;
} else { // try instantiating a new Object with the string
try {
value = constructor.newInstance(new Object[] { s });
} catch (Exception e) {
((JComponent) getComponent()).setBorder(new LineBorder(
Color.red));
return false;
}
}
return super.stopCellEditing();
}

BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 14 seconds)

I don't see any errors. What you see are the messages that are being printed from within your code, primarily from these statements:
ResultSetMetaData metaDt = results.getMetaData();
System.out.println(metaDt);
int cols = metaDt.getColumnCount();
System.out.println("database" +cols);

Your basic code looks reasonable. You create two Vectors containing the columns names and data, but no where do you then use these Vectors to create a DefaultTableModel which can then be added to the table.
So your code should be something like:
conn.close();
DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(data, columnNames);
table.setModel( model );
For a complete example (using Access) check out the Table From Database Example found in Table From Database.
