Please urgent help needed for the following

Question

Hi Everybody!
I desperately need help as soon as possible.
Following is the partial code for the driver program which will use the Employee class Objects(Employee is declared abstract). If you want to see whole code you can take a look at my last two or three posts in this forum.
1-     Now data input by the user in the specific field( name, rate ) should be displayed in the �List� at the top of the frame after pressing �Enter� key. Can anyone help me to achieve this functionality. While doing this keep in mind the capacity of Array
2-     I also need �rate� textfield to enabled initially & become disable when �raise� (for trigerring calculating raise in weekly pay) is checked. On this �increased� textbox will become �enabled� which was disabled initially.
3-     The stuff which may have the problems is followed by �*******************�.
// here is how I declared handlers
ActionEventHandler handler = new ActionEventHandler();
ItemEventHandler listener = new ItemEventHandler();
// here is the declaration of awt components which are going to be placed on Frame.
public class ActionEventHandler implements ActionListener
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
//if(event.getSource() == enterButton)
for (int i = 0 ; i < empArray.length; i++)
if(event.getSource() == enterButton)
empData.add(nameField.getText());
/*else if(event.getSource() == hoursField)
calcWeeklyPay();
if(event.getSource() == clearButton)
nameField.setText("");
hoursField.setText("");
rateField.setText("");
increaseField.setText("");
}//else if
}//ActionEventHandler
public class ItemEventHandler implements ItemListener
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent event)
//if(event.getSource() == enterButton)
if(hEmployee.getState())
createHourly();
}//if
/*else
sEmployee.setState(true);
createSalaried();
}//else*/
else if(raiseSal.getState())
increaseField.setEnabled(true);
rateField.setEnabled(false);
}//itemStateChanged
}//ItemEventHandler
public void createHourly()
nameField.requestFocus();
//String name = nameField.getText();
double payRate = Double.parseDouble(rateField.getText());
double hours = Double.parseDouble(hoursField.getText());
empArray[empCreated] = new HourlyEmployee(nameField.getText(), payRate, hours);
currentEmp = empCreated;
empCreated++;
//empData.add(emp.toString());
enterButton.setLabel("add");
}//createHourly
/* public void createSalaried()
nameField.requestFocus();
//String name = nameField.getText();
double payRate = Double.parseDouble(rateField.getText());
double hours = Double.parseDouble(hoursField.getText());
empArray[empCreated] = new HourlyEmployee(nameField.getText(), payRate, hours);
currentEmp = empCreated;
empCreated++;
enterButton = new Button("add");
}//createSalaried*/
looking forward your kindness

Visit YAT-Yet Another Thread this is a discussion using the Sun book Core Java 2
and one part in that book uses an example with Employee class of which I assume you are stealing your class-name from. Anyway, that thread is in the Java forums.
