yeah sorry i misread it,no need to parseString to employeename only l_employeeName = employeeName.getText(); that will do and in ur previous one this.employeename would also had done the job ...

Thats because there is no such method as getText() in String object

can you pl help me out on this problem ..i have spent a lot of time on this question but iam unable to find the answer
What if i want to write a class in such a way that only one instance of it can...

ok i get it now..thanks a lot James

class A
{
void show()
{
System.out.println("show");
}
}
class B extends A
{
void disp()
