custom Table

I think that the problem with this class is that setColumnNames and 
setData aren't really setting attributes.  I suppose I should make 
instance attributes like "header" and "data"?

(luckily we're moving into JSP soon, but, still...)

also, is there a problem with passing ResultSet around to different 
objects?  I read that there's a problem with that.
