Displaying the Column Name for JTabel

[Mohamed Sanaulla]

I am not able to get the Column names on the JTable. I am creating a JTable at runtime. The sample snippet is given below.

import javax.swing.*;

    
class TableDemo
{
 
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String[] column={"Name","Age"};
String[][] data = {{"abc","20"},{"xyz","30"}};
JTable table = new JTable(data,column);
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.add(table);//Adding the table to frame
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}

I am not able to get the Column Name on the top of each column. I am just getting the data values entered to the Table.



Also Added the screen shot of t he output

Change add(table) to add(new JScrollPane(table)).

The thing is, a table is actually two components: the JTable itself and its JTableHeader. When used in a JScrollPane the JTableHeader is added automatically, otherwise you have to do it yourself:

frame.add(table, BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.add(table.getTableHeader(), BorderLayout.NORTH);

Thanks a lot!! Both of them worked.
