public class JScrollPane
extends JComponent
implements ScrollPaneConstants, Accessible
```
Provides a scrollable view of a lightweight component. A JScrollPane manages a viewport, optional vertical and horizontal scroll bars, and optional row and column heading viewports. You can find task-oriented documentation of JScrollPane in How to Use Scroll Panes, a section in The Java Tutorial. Note that JScrollPane does not support heavyweight components.

The JViewport provides a window, or "viewport" onto a data source -- for example, a text file. That data source is the "scrollable client" (aka data model) displayed by the JViewport view. A JScrollPane basically consists of JScrollBars, a JViewport, and the wiring between them, as shown in the diagram at right.
In addition to the scroll bars and viewport, a JScrollPane can have a column header and a row header. Each of these is a JViewport object that you specify with setRowHeaderView, and setColumnHeaderView. The column header viewport automatically scrolls left and right, tracking the left-right scrolling of the main viewport. (It never scrolls vertically, however.) The row header acts in a similar fashion.
Where two scroll bars meet, the row header meets the column header, or a scroll bar meets one of the headers, both components stop short of the corner, leaving a rectangular space which is, by default, empty. These spaces can potentially exist in any number of the four corners. In the previous diagram, the top right space is present and identified by the label "corner component".
Any number of these empty spaces can be replaced by using the setCorner method to add a component to a particular corner. (Note: The same component cannot be added to multiple corners.) This is useful if there's some extra decoration or function you'd like to add to the scroll pane. The size of each corner component is entirely determined by the size of the headers and/or scroll bars that surround it.
A corner component will only be visible if there is an empty space in that corner for it to exist in. For example, consider a component set into the top right corner of a scroll pane with a column header. If the scroll pane's vertical scrollbar is not present, perhaps because the view component hasn't grown large enough to require it, then the corner component will not be shown (since there is no empty space in that corner created by the meeting of the header and vertical scroll bar). Forcing the scroll bar to always be shown, using setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS), will ensure that the space for the corner component always exists.
To add a border around the main viewport, you can use setViewportBorder. (Of course, you can also add a border around the whole scroll pane using setBorder.)
A common operation to want to do is to set the background color that will be used if the main viewport view is smaller than the viewport, or is not opaque. This can be accomplished by setting the background color of the viewport, via scrollPane.getViewport().setBackground(). The reason for setting the color of the viewport and not the scrollpane is that by default JViewport is opaque which, among other things, means it will completely fill in its background using its background color. Therefore when JScrollPane draws its background the viewport will usually draw over it.
By default JScrollPane uses ScrollPaneLayout to handle the layout of its child Components. ScrollPaneLayout determines the size to make the viewport view in one of two ways:
1. If the view implements Scrollable a combination of getPreferredScrollableViewportSize, getScrollableTracksViewportWidth and getScrollableTracksViewportHeightis used, otherwise
2. getPreferredSize is used.
Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more information see Swing's Threading Policy.
Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans™ has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

public JViewport getViewport()
```
    Returns the current JViewport.
    
    Returns:
    
    the viewport property
    
    See Also:
    
    setViewport(javax.swing.JViewport)
  - setViewport
```
public void setViewport(JViewport viewport)
```
    Removes the old viewport (if there is one); forces the viewPosition of the new viewport to be in the +x,+y quadrant; syncs up the row and column headers (if there are any) with the new viewport; and finally syncs the scrollbars and headers with the new viewport.
    Most applications will find it more convenient to use setViewportView to add a viewport and a view to the scrollpane.
    
    Parameters:
    
    viewport - the new viewport to be used; if viewport is null, the old viewport is still removed and the new viewport is set to null
    
    See Also:
    
    createViewport(), getViewport(), setViewportView(java.awt.Component)
  - setViewportView
```
public void setViewportView(Component view)
```
    Creates a viewport if necessary and then sets its view. Applications that don't provide the view directly to the JScrollPane constructor should use this method to specify the scrollable child that's going to be displayed in the scrollpane. For example:
```
 JScrollPane scrollpane = new JScrollPane();
 scrollpane.setViewportView(myBigComponentToScroll);
 
```
    Applications should not add children directly to the scrollpane.
    Parameters:
    
    view - the component to add to the viewport
    
    See Also:
    
    setViewport(javax.swing.JViewport), JViewport.setView(java.awt.Component)
  - getRowHeader
```
public JViewport getRowHeader()
```
    Returns the row header.
    
    Returns:
    
    the rowHeader property
    
    See Also:
    
    setRowHeader(javax.swing.JViewport)
  - setRowHeader
```
public void setRowHeader(JViewport rowHeader)
```
    Removes the old rowHeader, if it exists; if the new rowHeader isn't null, syncs the y coordinate of its viewPosition with the viewport (if there is one) and then adds it to the scroll pane.
    Most applications will find it more convenient to use setRowHeaderView to add a row header component and its viewport to the scroll pane.
    
    Parameters:
    
    rowHeader - the new row header to be used; if null the old row header is still removed and the new rowHeader is set to null
    
    See Also:
    
    getRowHeader(), setRowHeaderView(java.awt.Component)
  - setRowHeaderView
```
public void setRowHeaderView(Component view)
```
    Creates a row-header viewport if necessary, sets its view and then adds the row-header viewport to the scrollpane. For example:
```
 JScrollPane scrollpane = new JScrollPane();
 scrollpane.setViewportView(myBigComponentToScroll);
 scrollpane.setRowHeaderView(myBigComponentsRowHeader);
 
```
    Parameters:
    
    view - the component to display as the row header
    
    See Also:
    
    setRowHeader(javax.swing.JViewport), JViewport.setView(java.awt.Component)
  - getColumnHeader
```
public JViewport getColumnHeader()
```
    Returns the column header.
    
    Returns:
    
    the columnHeader property
    
    See Also:
    
    setColumnHeader(javax.swing.JViewport)
  - setColumnHeader
```
public void setColumnHeader(JViewport columnHeader)
```
    Removes the old columnHeader, if it exists; if the new columnHeader isn't null, syncs the x coordinate of its viewPosition with the viewport (if there is one) and then adds it to the scroll pane.
    Most applications will find it more convenient to use setColumnHeaderView to add a column header component and its viewport to the scroll pane.
    
    See Also:
    
    getColumnHeader(), setColumnHeaderView(java.awt.Component)
  - setColumnHeaderView
```
public void setColumnHeaderView(Component view)
```
    Creates a column-header viewport if necessary, sets its view, and then adds the column-header viewport to the scrollpane. For example:
```
 JScrollPane scrollpane = new JScrollPane();
 scrollpane.setViewportView(myBigComponentToScroll);
 scrollpane.setColumnHeaderView(myBigComponentsColumnHeader);
 
```
    Parameters:
    
    view - the component to display as the column header
    
    See Also:
    
    setColumnHeader(javax.swing.JViewport), JViewport.setView(java.awt.Component)
  - getCorner
```
public Component getCorner(String key)
```
    Returns the component at the specified corner. The key value specifying the corner is one of:
    - ScrollPaneConstants.LOWER_LEFT_CORNER
    - ScrollPaneConstants.LOWER_RIGHT_CORNER
    - ScrollPaneConstants.UPPER_LEFT_CORNER
    - ScrollPaneConstants.UPPER_RIGHT_CORNER
    - ScrollPaneConstants.LOWER_LEADING_CORNER
    - ScrollPaneConstants.LOWER_TRAILING_CORNER
    - ScrollPaneConstants.UPPER_LEADING_CORNER
    - ScrollPaneConstants.UPPER_TRAILING_CORNER
    Parameters:
    
    key - one of the values as shown above
    
    Returns:
    
    the corner component (which may be null) identified by the given key, or null if the key is invalid
    
    See Also:
    
    setCorner(java.lang.String, java.awt.Component)
  - setCorner
```
public void setCorner(String key,
                      Component corner)
```
    Adds a child that will appear in one of the scroll panes corners, if there's room. For example with both scrollbars showing (on the right and bottom edges of the scrollpane) the lower left corner component will be shown in the space between ends of the two scrollbars. Legal values for the key are:
    - ScrollPaneConstants.LOWER_LEFT_CORNER
    - ScrollPaneConstants.LOWER_RIGHT_CORNER
    - ScrollPaneConstants.UPPER_LEFT_CORNER
    - ScrollPaneConstants.UPPER_RIGHT_CORNER
    - ScrollPaneConstants.LOWER_LEADING_CORNER
    - ScrollPaneConstants.LOWER_TRAILING_CORNER
    - ScrollPaneConstants.UPPER_LEADING_CORNER
    - ScrollPaneConstants.UPPER_TRAILING_CORNER
    Although "corner" doesn't match any beans property signature, PropertyChange events are generated with the property name set to the corner key.
    Parameters:
    
    key - identifies which corner the component will appear in
    corner - one of the following components:
    
    lowerLeft
    lowerRight
