Adding JTable to a JScrollPane

Question

I am trying to add a JTable to a JScrollPane. But I can't see the Table after doing this.

scrollpane.setBounds(100,50,800,400);
JTable table = new JTable(myTableModel(res));
scrollpane.add(table);

What's wrong with me?

unrelated: don't do any manual sizing/locating **ever** - that's the exclusive task of a suitable LayoutManager — kleopatra, Jan 12 '14 at 08:52
`scrollpane.setBounds(100,50,800,400);` Java GUIs might have to work on a number of platforms, on different screen resolutions & using different PLAFs. As such they are not conducive to exact placement of components. To organize the components for a robust GUI, instead use layout managers, or [combinations of them](http://stackoverflow.com/a/5630271/418556), along with layout padding & borders for [white space](http://stackoverflow.com/q/17874717/418556). — Andrew Thompson, Jan 12 '14 at 08:59

scrollpane.add(table);

JScrollPane isn't designated to nest any JComponent, you have to add JTable to its JViewport, see also Constructor Sumary in JScrollPane API as the proper way

Try this:

JTable table = new JTable(myTableModel(res));
JScrollPane scrollpane = new JScrollPane(table);
scrollpane.setBounds(100,50,800,400);

no need to reproduce the incorrect manual sizing/locating, is there :-) – kleopatra Jan 12 '14 at 08:53
