Storing and Reading data

Hello, I'm developing a GUI application as part of an assignment but stuck on how my program stores and reads the data the user entered into the GUI table I created. I also wanted to apply a java code that limits the data type and the character size that can be entered into the table fields. I got as far as creating the table and the column fields. Can you please guide me. Thanks in advance.

import java.io.*; import java.awt.BorderLayout; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JScrollPane; import javax.swing.JTable; import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel;

public class Contacts {

public static void main (String[] args)  {
       //declare members
JFrame frame = new JFrame ("Contacts");    

String [] colNames = {"First Name", "MI", "Last Name", "Age", "E-Mail Address", "Cellphone"};
Object [][] data = new Object[30][30];
DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(data, colNames);
JTable contactsTable = new JTable(model);
JScrollPane s = new JScrollPane(contactsTable);

frame.setVisible(true);
frame.setSize(600, 300);
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.add(contactsTable);

} }

Here is an example that reads data from jtable and display on the console.

import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class GetDataFromDatabase{
JTable table;
JButton button;
public static void main(String[] args) {
new GetDataFromDatabase();
}

public GetDataFromDatabase(){
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Getting Cell Values in JTable");
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
String data[][] = {{"Angelina","Mumbai"},{"Martina","Delhi"}};

String col[] = {"Name","Address"};
DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(data, col);
table = new JTable(model);
JScrollPane pane = new JScrollPane(table);
button=new JButton("Submit");
button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
int index=1;
int count=table.getRowCount();

for(int i=0;i<count;i++){
Object obj1 = GetData(table, i, 0);
Object obj2 = GetData(table, i, 1);
String value1=obj1.toString();
String value2=obj2.toString();

System.out.println(value1+"\t"+value2);
index++;
}

}
});
panel.add(pane);
panel.add(button);
frame.add(panel);
frame.setSize(500,250);
frame.setUndecorated(true);
frame.getRootPane().setWindowDecorationStyle(JRootPane.PLAIN_DIALOG);
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
}

public Object GetData(JTable table, int row_index, int col_index){
return table.getModel().getValueAt(row_index, col_index);
}
}

Here is an example that inserts jtable data to database.

import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
import java.sql.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class InsertJTableDatabase{
JTable table;
JButton button;
public static void main(String[] args) {
new InsertJTableDatabase();
}

public InsertJTableDatabase(){
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Getting Cell Values in JTable");
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
String data[][] = {{"Angelina","Mumbai"},{"Martina","Delhi"}};

String col[] = {"Name","Address"};
DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(data, col);
table = new JTable(model);
JScrollPane pane = new JScrollPane(table);
button=new JButton("Submit");
button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
PreparedStatement pstm;
ResultSet rs;
int index=1;
int count=table.getRowCount();

try{
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection connect =DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:access");
for(int i=0;i<count;i++){
Object obj1 = GetData(table, i, 0);
Object obj2 = GetData(table, i, 1);
String value1=obj1.toString();
String value2=obj2.toString();

System.out.println(value1);
System.out.println(value2);

pstm=connect.prepareStatement("insert into data values(?,?)");
pstm.setString(1,value1);
pstm.setString(2,value2);

index++;
}
pstm.executeUpdate();
}
catch(Exception e){}
}
});
panel.add(pane);
panel.add(button);
frame.add(panel);
frame.setSize(500,250);
frame.setUndecorated(true);
frame.getRootPane().setWindowDecorationStyle(JRootPane.PLAIN_DIALOG);
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
}

public Object GetData(JTable table, int row_index, int col_index){
return table.getModel().getValueAt(row_index, col_index);
}
}

Here is an example that retrieves data from database and stored into jtable.

import java.awt.*;
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;

public class JTableDatabase {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Vector columnNames = new Vector();
Vector data = new Vector();
JPanel p=new JPanel();
try {
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test", "root", "root" );
String sql = "Select name,address from data";
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery( sql );
ResultSetMetaData md = rs.getMetaData();
int columns = md.getColumnCount();
for (int i = 1; i <= columns; i++) {
columnNames.addElement( md.getColumnName(i) );
}
while (rs.next()) {
Vector row = new Vector(columns);
for (int i = 1; i <= columns; i++){
row.addElement( rs.getObject(i) );
}
data.addElement( row );
}
rs.close();
stmt.close();
}
catch(Exception e){
System.out.println(e);
}
JTable table = new JTable(data, columnNames);
TableColumn col;
for (int i = 0; i < table.getColumnCount(); i++) {
col = table.getColumnModel().getColumn(i);
col.setMaxWidth(250);
}
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane( table );
p.add( scrollPane );
JFrame f=new JFrame();
f.add(p);
f.setSize(600,400);
f.setVisible(true);
}
}
