problem with frames..

[pao09]

im making a project right now.. a employee will input some personal information in a jframe then when the user click the button another window will popout and it will display the information of the employee.. im using setter and getter methods.. i think there is the problem because when i get the informations it returns null.. what should i do.? help me pls..

Pass the information from one frame to the other before you call the "show" method.
Remember you can have the TextFields of the second frame public or with set methods in order to set their values from the first frame

Use the "getters and setters" properly?

If you show your code (and use code tags), we could probably give a better answer.
