It's not clear to me exactly what the problem is, but the commonest problem with table headers is that they only appear automatically when the table is put into a scrollpane (see Adding A Table To A Container). If you put a table directly into a panel, the headers won't appear (although you can extract the table header and display it separately).

Sir, actually i could not able to give row headers separately. I am facing problem at this point only. From the database Can you provide a simple example explaining this. I have to give row headers separately, but the row values must have to be taken from the database only.

Thank you for your reply.

I'm afraid I don't understand your difficulty.

Sorry sir, probably i could not able to explain my problem fully. Actually my question is that how to give row headers separately??? The column names should be taking from the database.

Now, I need to display all the values corresponding to a particular row and a particular column from the database and not hardcoded.

Whether i could explain you properly now?

Thank you for paying your attention.
