Hello,
I was asked to quickly generate a simple app prototype for a customer that would allow them to search for records in an existing database for display in a table. Once displayed, they wanted to do simple actions like navigate, print and delete entries.
I'm strong with Java but pretty much a noob when it comes to Swing so I thought I'd look around to see if the functionality I needed was already out there. I came across your web page that talks about your component library supporting data bindings for search, table display, etc. which sounded perfect.
"Since version 2.9 you can enable search mode for the table, this lets you provide advanced filtering and searching capabilities to your customers within our ELTable component. You can search not only in the data currently presented in the table, but also refer to the database connected with the component."
Downloaded the demo, liked what I saw, and purchased the library. I was under the impression that the table component was database aware but it looks like you may still have to write your own javax.swing.table.TableModel to interact with the database from scratch. If so, I may have purchased the component library for nothing as the whole point of buying it was to get the table functionality from the description above right out of the box. :-(
I couldn't find any documentation other than the Javadocs so I am hoping that there is some documentation or an example or two somewhere that shows how to do the component/database binding I so desperately need.
Don't get me wrong, there are some sweet components in this library, but right now what I *really need* is the table/database functionality described on the product page. If someone can point me to an example or docs or send me some sample source code I would be extremely grateful.
