The stack trace clearly indicates that in your actionPerformed method on line 99 that you are attempting to call a method on an object that is null. Examine the call that is being made on line 99 and examine why it might be null.

Sir,
I cannot understand that how the object is null ..

can u please improve the code or tell me an alternative for the same.

[Ezzaral]

"nam" and "pas" are both still null at the class level because you re-defined these variables locally in your constructor when you added them to the panel.

TextField nam = new TextField();
        JPasswordField pas = new JPasswordField();

This should instead initialize your instance-level variables

nam = new TextField();
        pas = new JPasswordField();

Thank You...
Very Much Sir
Can you please tell me how can we see the stack run as we can see in C by pressing F7..
please give me your mail id
.......!!!!
