Help me pls. I have some problems with method getClient(), bring only two classes.

package drugstore;

public class DrugstoreFrame extends JFrame {
    Client person;
    ...

    public Client getClient(){
         person.setAccount(getField(jTextField4));
         person.setPassword(getField(jPasswordField2));
         person.setFio(getField(jTextField5));
         person.setAddress(getField(jTextField6));
         person.setTelephone(getField(jTextField3));
         person.setAdditionalInformation(getField(jTextField7));
         return person;
    }
    private String getField(JTextField field){
        return field.getText();
    }
    public void jButton10_mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
       person = getClient();
       try{
           database.newPerson(person);
      }catch(DataAccessException exception){
        }
 }
}
package drugstore;

public class Client {
    private String fio = ""; 
    private String address = ""; 
    private String telephone = ""; 
    private String additional_information = ""; 
    private String account = ""; 
    private String password = ""; 
    private int client_id; 

 Client(int client_id){
     this.client_id = client_id;

 }

    public void setClientId(int client_id){
        this.client_id = client_id;
    }
    public void setFio(String fio){
        this.fio = fio;
    }
    public void setAddress(String address){
        this.address = address;
    }
    public void setTelephone(String telephone){
        this.telephone = telephone;
    }
    public void setAdditionalInformation(String additional_information){
        this.additional_information = additional_information;
    }
    public void setAccount(String account){
        this.account = account;
    }
    public void setPassword(String password){
        this.password = password;
    }
}

When performing the program we receive necessary error.

Nicely done, we would be able to help you as that wasn't part of the code and rest which you provided does look fine
