What you'll want in your "getLimbs()" method is for it to look like this I suspect:


Limb[] getLimbs(){
Limb[] limbs = new Limbs[4];
//Add arms and legs to limbs array
return limbs;
}

All this talk of passing limbs around is somewhat creepy :p

You need to give way more detail than that. Are you trying to make a web browser or a web site?

Try using bigger numbers in set size. 10x20 pixels will give you a really small window.

You're sort of right. The classes I was mentioning were generated by crawling throught the DB and writing java code off of the table information. It was really sweet. It didn't use reflection though....

I've reflection to make method calls on auto-generated DAO objects that were based on similar tables in my data base. There are good uses for reflection, but most of the time you can get by without...

BestJew: Yeah, I meant an if statement. Reflection is probably overkill for your stated requirements.

If you make your object Serializable then you can store information about the object in String form. It won't be as readable as "germanShepard" but you could store objects serials somewhere to enter....

It looks like you don't save the input anywhere other than in displayMenu(). None of the other methods can see that input variable.
You could have displayMenu() return the character that the user...

You could restrict the length of the text field to to chars. Then you could set up a listener event to validate the text field when it looses focus or when they try to submit the form. I can't think...

What exactly are you stuck on? Make sure to put your code in tags...
