How to clear or reset or

  To: comp.lang.java.gui
All,
 I have a question regarding my little app below. I created and added
a Text Field to a JFrame. I then built an inner class to handle a
textlistner.
My question is in the IF/ELSE block of the textlistener class. I would
like for both IF and ELSE to reset or clear the Text Field at the end
of each block, but do not know how. That is, I will fill in some code
at the begning of IF and ELSE (calls to a database), but then need the
words residing in the Text Field to clear out so I can recursively re-
run this app (have it always cycling). I had an expert last week help
me with something similar, but I can't quite figure out how to do this
without using setText("") which sends this into an infinite loop.
Your time is very much appriciated.
Thank you.

}

public class Clisten implements TextListener
{

public void textValueChanged ( TextEvent e )
{
TextComponent tc = (TextComponent)e.getSource();
String inputrules = tc.getText();
if (inputrules == "Chris")
{
//Here I need to somehow refresh the textfield
}
else
{
// Here as well...
}
}
}
