yes that possible two ways

1) easiest without implement for autocomplete JTextField, - JTable has implemented Sorting and Filtering code example in the tutorial

2) by implement AutoComplete JComboBox / JTextField (read whole thread because there is most excelent alternative implemented in the SwingX) and for JTable to set Filtering

For the JTextField, use getText() to get the input(but you have to update that constantly). For the drop down menu, use what's called an editable combo box - http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/combobox.html#editable has an explanation.
