How to use the PropertyValueFactory correctly?

Question

I am trying to make a table with a TableView and fill it programmatically based on a list of `User` objects. The `User` has three variables, `nameProperty` (String), `rankProperty` (Enum called Rank), and `netMeritsProperty` (int). These are all stored in `SimpleStringProperty` objects. My problem is that the data will not appear in the actual table, as shown here: Here is my code for the table. What am I not understanding? ``` TableColumn name = new TableColumn<>("Name"); name.setCellValueFactory(new PropertyValueFactory("nameProperty")); TableColumn rank = new TableColumn<>("Rank"); rank.setCellValueFactory(new PropertyValueFactory("rankProperty")); TableColumn netMerits = new TableColumn<>("Net Merits"); netMerits.setCellValueFactory(new PropertyValueFactory("netMeritsProperty")); userTable.getColumns().addAll(name, rank, netMerits); ```

Accepted Answer

The answer is about attention, which string content you give as parameter of `PropertyValueFactory`, and which methods are implemented in your encapsulated data type.

Instantiation :

```
new PropertyValueFactory<User, String>("name")
```

will lookup for :

```
User.nameProperty()
```
