Display Bean Data In Table View

[GB <nr...@yahoo.com>]

Friends, 
I have successfully completed one way trip from User To Database. I now just
want to display the ResultSet data. I did not find relevant examples on the
web/this-forum - hence this post. 

The application has the following architecture:

A bean named "Expense" with properties expenseId, expenseDate,
expenseDescription, expenseType, remarks, amount - with the relevant
getters/setters.

A DB class that connects to the Oracle DB and fetches the expenses. The
relevant code is :

package rams.db;
public class DB {

    org.apache.pivot.collections.ArrayList expenseList = new ArrayList();
    BeanDictionary bd;// = new BeanDictionary();
    rams.entity.Expense expense;

    public ArrayList showExpenses()
    {
        Connection conn = null;
        PreparedStatement pstmt = null;               
        String selectExpenseSql = "Select * from P_Expense";
        //java.util.ArrayList<Expense> expenseList = new
ArrayList<Expense>();
        try {
            conn = getOracleJDBCConnection();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Exception Getting DB Connection ::: " + e);
        }

        try {
            pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(selectExpenseSql);
            pstmt.setFetchSize(10);
            //run the sql on the table
            ResultSet rs = pstmt.executeQuery();
            while(rs.next())
            {                
                int expenseId = rs.getInt("EXPENSEID");
                java.sql.Date expenseDate = rs.getDate("EXPENSEDATE");
                String expenseDescription =
rs.getString("EXPENSEDESCRIPTION");
                String expenseType = rs.getString("EXPENSETYPE");
                String remarks = rs.getString("REMARKS");
                double amount = rs.getDouble("AMOUNT");
                SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
                String expdate = df.format(expenseDate);
                String amount_str = Double.toString(amount);
                String expenseId_str = String.valueOf(expenseId);               
                expense = new Expense(expenseId_str, expenseType,
expenseDescription, expenseType, remarks, amount_str);
                System.out.println("Created an instance of Expense Object");
                bd = new BeanDictionary(expense);
                System.out.println("Wrapped the instance of Expense Object
in BeanDictionary");
                expenseList.add(bd);
                System.out.println("Expense Added To The ExpenseList");
            }            
            System.out.println("Completed Expense ResultSet Processing");
        }         
        return expenseList;
    }
}


The wtkx file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Border xmlns="org.apache.pivot.wtk"
xmlns:wtkx="http://pivot.apache.org/wtkx" styles="{padding:6}">
<content>
<ScrollPane horizontalScrollBarPolicy="fill">
<view>
<TableView wtkx:id="expense"
xmlns:collections="org.apache.pivot.collections"
tableData="rams.db.DB.expenseList"> 
<columns>
<TableView.Column name="expenseId" width="135" headerData="Expense ID"/>
<TableView.Column name="expenseDate" width="135" headerData="Expense Date"/>
<TableView.Column name="expenseDescription" width="135"
headerData="Description"/>
<TableView.Column name="expenseType" width="135" headerData="Type"/>
<TableView.Column name="remarks" width="135" headerData="Remarks"/>
<TableView.Column name="amount" width="135" headerData="Amount"/>
</columns>
</TableView>
</view>
<columnHeader>
<TableViewHeader tableView="$expense"/>
</columnHeader>
</ScrollPane>
</content>
</Border>


So my question is: How do I specify the tableData? 
Question-1:
In this particular case, the data is available in instances of Expensse bean
wrapped in Pivot Collections ArrayList. [One Expense bean instance per
record/row]

Question-2:
In another case, if the data is made available in a JSON list how do I
specify? The example in the pivot site gives this format for a file that is
physically present in a location: tableData="@standings.json" 
However if I convert the resultset into JSON format, how do I specify in the
wtkx file?

Any help to resolve this would be of immense help to me. 

Thanks in Advance.
