JDBC 5: Creating a GUI

Update: Follow this link to watch a YouTube demonstration of the following

A simple GUI to display database contents

package dbase2016;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTextArea;

/**
 *
 * @author ajb
 */
public class GUIDisplayStudents extends JFrame {

    JTextArea textArea;
    JScrollPane scrollPane;

    GUIDisplayStudents()
    {
    this.setSize(300,200);
    this.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    textArea = new JTextArea("Sample Text");
    scrollPane = new JScrollPane(textArea);
    add(scrollPane);

    }

}

Student Class

This will be used to wrap the data retrieved from the database

package dbase2016;

/**
 *
 * @author ajb
 */
public class Student {
    private String forename;
    private String surname;
    private String gender;
    private String form;

    /**
     * @return the forename
     */
    public String getForename() {
    return forename;
    }

    /**
     * @param forename the forename to set
     */
    public void setForename(String forename) {
    this.forename = forename;
    }

    /**
     * @return the surname
     */
    public String getSurname() {
    return surname;
    }

    /**
     * @param surname the surname to set
     */
    public void setSurname(String surname) {
    this.surname = surname;
    }

    /**
     * @return the gender
     */
    public String getGender() {
    return gender;
    }

    /**
     * @param gender the gender to set
     */
    public void setGender(String gender) {
    this.gender = gender;
    }

    /**
     * @return the form
     */
    public String getForm() {
    return form;
    }

    /**
     * @param form the form to set
     */
    public void setForm(String form) {
    this.form = form;
    }

}
