help with tables (should be simple...)

I'm trying to use a Table component as a spreadsheet template in my app:

I'd like the first column to be static-y labels (such as Sunday, Monday, etc.) and the rest of the columns to be bound to a relational data source. Ithought that I could just create a simple String array of labels in the session bean and then wrap that array with an Object Array Data Provider on the page and bind the table column to the Object Array Data Provider. Doing this doesn't give me the desired/expected results, namely the first column displaying the labels. What am I missing? I can't seem to visually wrap an Object Array Data Provider around anything other than a bult-in DataType array (String, Integer, etc.) and the only properties of the String array that I can choose from for the column are CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER, bytes and empty?

Thanx in adv.

I cross-posted and received a reply on the Netbeans - J2EE Nabble forum: http://www.nabble.com/help-with-tables-%28should-be-simple...%29-tf3574200.html

Essentially, the reply points me to this Tutorial Diva article:

Parenthetically, what are are the audiences of the Nabble forum vs. this forum? It seems (to me at least) that there is a lot of overlap in the Creator/VWP topics. Which forum is more active? Does anyone find that the Creator audience is migrating to the Netbeans VWP forum? I seem to be getting better responses to my queries on that forum, but that may be due to the nature of my (admittedly newbie-ish) posts.
