How do I send the data to JTable with String and Array

Question

This is my first question from stock overflow exited a bit I have made a class and JTextField for a class and I have a problem once I click the complete order Button it should save all the data and information nice and cool in JTable I have been thought to use String[] and Object but basically I have no Idea how to do it ???

and this is my software class

class Software extends Products {

    private float ram;
    private float processor;

    //SoftwareProducts sf = new SoftwareProducts();
    public Software(int productID, String productName,
                    int productYear, String productPublishHouse) {
        super(productID, productName, productYear, productPublishHouse);

        this.ram = ram;
        this.processor = processor;

   //super(productID,productName, productYear, productPublishHouse);
    }

    public void setRam(float ram) {

        this.ram = ram;
    }

    public float getRam() {

        return ram;
    }

    public void setProcessor(float processor) {

        this.processor = processor;
    }

    public float getProcessor() {

        return processor;
    }

}
//int productID,String productName,int productYear,
String   productPublishHouse

and this is my Customer Order Class which Basically I need to run my JTable from it and make String and Object

Answer 1

Since you already have a POJO which wraps the basic properties of your Produce, a simpler (and more reusable) solution would be to create a dedicated ProductTableModel for it...

public static class ProductTableModel extends AbstractTableModel {

    protected static final String[] COLUMN_NAMES = {"Product ID",
        "RAM",
        "Processor",
        "Product Name",
        "Product Year",
        "Product PHouse"};

    private List<Product> products;

    public ProductTableModel(List<Product> products) {
        this.products = new ArrayList<>(products);
    }

    @Override
    public int getRowCount() {
        return products.size();
    }

    @Override
    public int getColumnCount() {
        return COLUMN_NAMES.length;
    }

    @Override
    public String getColumnName(int column) {
        return COLUMN_NAMES[column];
    }

    public Product getProductAt(int row) {
        return products.get(row);
    }

    @Override
    public Object getValueAt(int rowIndex, int columnIndex) {
        Product product = getProductAt(rowIndex);
        Object value = null;
        switch (columnIndex) {
            case 0:
                value = product.getID();
                break;
            case 1:
                value = product.getRAM();
                break;
            case 2:
                value = product.getProcessor();
                break;
            case 3:
                value = product.getName();
                break;
            case 4:
                value = product.getYear();
                break;
            case 5:
                value = product.getPHouse();
                break;
        }
        return value;
    }

}

Then you could simply do something like...

ProductTableModel model = new ProductTableModel(listOfProducts);
productTable.setModel(model); // A JTable
