Class Help Please~~~

Question

How can i access/use the other class's method's variable?
For example: There are 2 class, Trans and Rece
In class Rece, there is a method called initialize, in this method I have defined one identifier called ds;
public void initialize(){
DataSource ds = stream.getDataSource();
How can i use this ds in the other class: Trans?

There are a couple of ways. The most basic way (not the best, but the easiest) is...
1. Put the datasource outside of the initialize so others can see it
public class Rece
  public DataSource ds;
  public void initialize()
   ds = stream.getDataSource();
}2. Now make a reference to it in the other class.
public class Trans
  public DataSource localDs;
  public void initialize()
    Rece r = new Rece();
    localDs = r.ds; // now localDs is a copy of the datastream from Rece
}
