Filling up cell when clicked

Question

First of all thanks for your support. I'm creating an application with MySQL database to store User details (Names, Age..). Just want to send the Name value to a JTable cell clicked by the user.

I'm able to store the value in a String, and show it in System.out.println, but cannot fill the cell up with the value.

Is this possible any how?

Rahul, I'm not trying to fill the jTable directly with database values. It is simpler, just wanted to fill a particular cell with a String value, once the user clicked the cell: — Razi3L, Jan 12 '15 at 12:15

It is unclear how do you get this String and what have you tried but you can use setValueAt(...) method to set this String as the selected cell's value. In order to get the selected cell row and column indexes you should use getSelectedRow() and getSelectedColumn() methods, respectively. Finally to detect user's "click" you have to attach a MouseListener to the table or a ListSelectionListener to the table's ListSelectionModel to listen for selection changes.
