What dreadful non-object-oriented coding. Add the ActionListener to the button, and consider whether to do it as an object of another class, or an anonymous class.
Try adding a System.out.println() call in your while(rs.next()) loop, then you can see what the data retrieved are.
Never have an empty catch() block; if you suffer an Exception you will know nothing about it. Put something in that catch(); even e.printStackTrace(); will help no end.
Let's try moving you to the GUIs forum, because I think your problem is more to do with display than data retrieval.
yes i have my actionlistener for the button, but it is in the GUI class, it is needed to post it?
how can i go to GUIs forum? is not a cross posting?
btw just noticed this error
