i've got jtable , want add content of xml-file it. dont know how should browse through xml-file, able manipulate data (rewrite, deleting) , values of single tag , not of all. i'm using jdom

my xml-file looks this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <app>   <!-- pfad für templates und speicher ort für die entity.java-->   <entity>     <name>aposting</name>     <art>0</art>     <datum>wed nov 19 10:51:10 cet 2014</datum>   </entity>    <entity>     <name>aposting</name>     <art>1</art>     <datum>wed nov 19 11:30:34 cet 2014</datum>   </entity>    <entity>     <name>aposting</name>     <art>1</art>     <datum>wed nov 19 15:21:12 cet 2014</datum>   </entity>    <entity>     <name>aposting</name>     <art>2</art>     <datum>thu nov 20 8:01:10 cet 2014</datum>   </entity>  </app> 

and want display in table this:

thank help

edit:

i've made custom model

package tabletest;  import java.util.arraylist; import java.util.date; import java.util.list; import javax.swing.event.tablemodellistener; import javax.swing.table.tablemodel;  /**  *  * @author administrator  */ public class modeldata implements tablemodel {      list<tabledata> data = new arraylist<>();     string colnames[] = {"name", "type", "date"};     class<?> colclasses[] = {string.class, string.class, date.class};      modeldata() {         data.add(new tabledata("aposting", "created", new date()));         data.add(new tabledata("aposting", "edited", new date()));         data.add(new tabledata("aposting", "edited", new date()));         data.add(new tabledata("aposting", "deleted", new date()));     }      @override     public int getrowcount() {         return data.size();     }      @override     public int getcolumncount() {         return colnames.length;     }      @override     public object getvalueat(int rowindex, int columnindex) {         if (columnindex == 0) {             return data.get(rowindex).getname();         }         if (columnindex == 1) {             return data.get(rowindex).gettype();         }         if (columnindex == 2) {             return data.get(rowindex).getdate();         }         return null;     }      @override     public string getcolumnname(int columnindex) {         return colnames[columnindex];     }      @override     public class<?> getcolumnclass(int columnindex) {         return colclasses[columnindex];     }      @override     public boolean iscelleditable(int rowindex, int columnindex) {         return true;     }      @override     public void setvalueat(object avalue, int rowindex, int columnindex) {          if (columnindex == 0) {             data.get(rowindex).setname((string) avalue);         }         if (columnindex == 1) {             data.get(rowindex).settype((string) avalue);         }         if (columnindex == 2) {             data.get(rowindex).setdate((date) avalue);         }     }      @override     public void addtablemodellistener(tablemodellistener l) {      }      @override     public void removetablemodellistener(tablemodellistener l) {      } } 

and tabledata class access:

package tabletest;  import java.util.date;  public class tabledata {      string name;     string type;     date date;      public tabledata(string name, string type, date date) {         super();         this.name = name;         this.type = type;         this.date = date;     }      public string getname() {         return name;     }      public void setname(string name) {         this.name = name;     }      public string gettype() {         return type;     }      public void settype(string type) {         this.type = type;     }      public date getdate() {         return date;     }      public void setdate(date date) {         this.date = date;     }  } 

and works added values in "modeldata" still got no clue how extract entities out of xml-file

you'll need 2 things this:

• a suitable xml parser.

• a custom table model, illustrated here.

depending on chosen parser, can either

• construct java data structure, e.g. list<entity>, can accessed in tablemodel.

• access document object model directly meet tablemodel contract getvalueat(), getrowcount(), etc.

addendum: based on edit,

• while evaluate other parsing options, start simple saxparser, illustrated here. example builds list<school>; you'll build list<tabledata>.

• in custom table model, extend abstracttablemodel event handling illustrated here.
