Thread: Dynamic JComboBoxes

Am trying to change the contents of a JComboBox - phoneModelCombo based on items selected by in another JComboBox - brandCombo. I will appreciate any resource, help that would help me fix this issue.
Here is an excerpt of what i have tried to no avail:

        brandCombo.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
        	public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
        	  try{
                 try{
        		Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
        	     }catch(Exception e){
        	       JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Exception: "+e.getMessage());
        	     }
        	Connection con = java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/phoneshopsystem","root", dbLogin.db());
 final String query2 = "SELECT phoneModels FROM `phones` WHERE phoneBrand = ?";
PreparedStatement pst = con.prepareStatement(query2, ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
    ResultSet rset = pst.executeQuery();
        	while(rset.next()){
        	    JComboBox bx = (JComboBox)ae.getSource();
        		String b = bx.getSelectedItem().toString();
        		  pst.setString(2, b);
        		   phoneModelCombo.addItem(rset.getString                   ("phoneModels"));
}
       con.close();
}catch(SQLException sql){
 }
   }
     });

and what is the results when you run the code?

@Muhammad: the phoneModelComboBox remains blanks Even when i select an item from brandCombo.
Thanks @Mr. Norm

are you sure of ur db connections and data presence?
Im actually not good at JDB.
But i think the problem is in an event you are listening to.
If your intention is that phoneModelComboBox get filled with data when you select an item from brandCombo,
you should add ItemListener instead.

That's:

brandCombo.addItemListener(new ItemListener(){
        	public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent ie){

intead of:

brandCombo.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
        	public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){

I Tried that before the ActionListener and it gave me the same thing, which was nothing! I'll keep trying though!

Am sure of my data presence and DB Connection, because i have used the DefaultComboBox model to populate ID values from my database and it didnt give me any problems!
