JTable Header

I am using a Table Model that i found to help me create a dynamic table(Based on a database).  However this model i found does not give table headers, and i cant figure out what i need to do to fix this.  I have posted the code below that they gave as an example using this table model.
Thanks!

      // add rows to our TableModel, each row is represented as a Wine object
      wineModel.addWine(new Wine("Chateau Meyney, St. Estephe", "1994", 18.75f, true));
      wineModel.addWine(new Wine("Chateau Montrose, St. Estephe", "1975", 54.25f, true));
      wineModel.addWine(new Wine("Chateau Gloria, St. Julien", "1993", 22.99f, false));

Have you run this code?
When I ran this code, I got a table with the headers:
"Name", "Vintage", "Price",and "In stock?".

These are initialized with the line:
 final String[] columnNames = {"Name", "Vintage", "Price", "In stock?"};
in the WineTableModel class.

if this is difficult to follow let me know and ill try and clean it up or let you know what it is doing.

Have you run this code?
When I ran this code, I got a table with the headers:
"Name", "Vintage", "Price",and "In stock?".

These are initialized with the line:
 final String[] columnNames = {"Name", "Vintage", "Price", "In stock?"};
in the WineTableModel class.

ive run my code...i have not run the other code though.  but the problem is that my code, which i thought was basically the same as the other code, still doesnt have headers.

Hello epastoor ,
    In order to get headers you need to add your Table to a ScrollPane . Without this the headers wont show. In the example you posted the Line given below adds the table to a  JScrollPane and then adds the scroll pane to the ContentPane . You have to do this to make the header visible.


JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(table);

     // add the scroll pane to this window.
     getContentPane().add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);


Try this.

ok...i tried what you said...but now i lost the tabbed pane that i had.  The way it is supposed to look is to have a tabbed pane with a table inside of it.  Now i have the column headers, but tabs on the bottom.  The tables are not even showing up with the data like before.  Just the headers are there.
Here is how the code looks now.

thanks doron. im working on your code right now.
first i had to add the jscrollpane to the container so that it showed up.
and i also did not get a scroll bar so i added a piece of code when i created the scrollpane object.
that looks like
jScrollPane= new JScrollPane(JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS, JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED);

however the scroll pane does not move up and down the table.

in that last code snipet ive taken out the tabbedpane portion of the code to eliminate one possible error causer.  So basically the problem that i listed above the code where the scroll pane is not actually scrolling down the page is an issue but not reflective on the tabbed pane. i figure ill implement that as soon as i get this working to start with.

i also checked to make sure that there were enough elements in the pane to need to scroll up or down. and when i put more elements in the pane, it just made the pane larger than the application window.

Sorry about the confusion. My problem was that i didnt define a layout for the panel and thus everything was not showing properly. once i did that, i had no problems and even my scroll pane was working properly!

thanks so much for your help!

You dont need a scroll pane:

http://javaalmanac.com/egs/javax.swing.table/ShowHead.html

    int rows = 10;
    int cols = 5;
    JTable table = new JTable(rows, cols);
    JTableHeader header = table.getTableHeader();
   
    container.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
   
    // Add header in NORTH slot
    container.add(header, BorderLayout.NORTH);
   
    // Add table itself to CENTER slot
    container.add(table, BorderLayout.CENTER);
