Regarding Login

[adeeb alexander]

Hi,
I have created a panel on which there is one text field and one password field and below them is a button. This i have done in cardlayout. Actually what i want is, if i all ready store the text in two strings one for name and other for password and if i enter the same thing what i have stored using string in the program and click the button i should go to next card. I only need how to get the data from the fields and compare it with the stored text. Then rest of the things i can handle. So please somebody help me out.

If memory serves, there are two methods in JPasswordField for retrieving the entered value: getPassword() and getText().

getPassword() returns a char[] that is has been hashed (to obscure the actual password value)

getText() returns the actual password that was entered

So compare them...

if (usernameField.getText().equals(storedUsername)){
 if (passwordField.getText().equals(storedPassword)){
   doLoginSuccess();
 } else {
   doLoginFailed();
 }
}
