Popular Jtable with DB data without using DefaultTableModel [duplicate]

I'm doing an entire project in layers and read somewhere that using DefaultTableModel is not very recommended. I am trying to receive values registered in the DB and fill a jTable with those values. Below are the defined classes.

DAO Layer method to list People registered:

 public List listarTodas() throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException {

   List lista;
   try (Connection conn = ConnectionFactory.getConnectionFactory()) {
     lista = new ArrayList();
     String sql = "SELECT * FROM Pessoa";
     try (PreparedStatement st = conn.prepareStatement(sql)) {
         ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery();
         while (rs.next()) {
             Pessoa p = resultSet2Model(rs);
             lista.add(p);
         }
     }
}
    return lista;

}

I believe you should now implement the Business and View layers. Is not that it?
