OK, I am back. I completely under the getter/setter concept. However,
what I am trying to do is create a property that can be used to pass
values between forms (JFrames).

If I had two JFrames, one being say, employee basic information
(Form1), and the other containing extended info about the same employee
(Form2). When I open Form1 to an employee record, then, in Visual
Studio for example, I would then create a property in Form2 like so:

         private string _employeeID;
         public int employeeID
         {
             get { return _employeeID; }
             set { _employeeID= value; }
         }

In Form1 I set the Form2 property when the form instance is created as
follows:

Form2 frm = new Form2();
frm.employeeID = xxxxx

Finally, in Form2, I can use the _employeeID value to populate the form
with data.

Most of my apps I do are based off of a database design or concept, and
a significant part of the model for my applications start there (at the
database). Anyone know of any good tutorials or books regarding
database-cebtric application design using Java?

Thanks again.

I am new to java (currently using C#). I am trying to learn java and I
am having a little difficulty in creating and using a property. Here
is a sample from C#:

        private int _myValue;
        public int myValue
        {
            get { return _myValue; }
            set { _myValue = value; }
        }

how would I do this in java? Any help is appreciated.
