Capturing the text of a textfield to be used in another class

Question

Hi Java Gurus. I have two classes called Login and Profile. In the Login class, a user will enter a username and password which is verified against a table stored in an oracle database. This works fine.
My problem is that when the user enters his/her username, I want to capture the username of the user so that I can make a reference to it from the Profile class.
You may wonder why I am doing this from the Profile class. Well, I want the user's profile to be uploaded after login and in order for me to do this, I am using the username in my SELECT statement from my Profile class to upload the profile of a specific user.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi guys! Maybe none of you who have already viewed my problem understood what i meant, so i'll try to explain using some code snippets.
Login class;
public class Login extends JDialog implements ActionListener{
JLabel nameLabel;
JLabel passLabel;
JTextField name;
JTextField pass;
JButton okButton;
JButton cancelButton;
JPanel buttonPanel;
public Login(){
nameLabel = new JLabel("Username:");
passLabel = new JLabel("Password:");
name = new JTextField(10);
pass = new JTextField(10);
okButton = new JButton("Ok");
cancelButton = new JButton("Cancel");
buttonPanel = new JPanel();
buttonPanel.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
buttonPanel.add(okButton);
buttonPanel.add(cancelButton);
setSize(new Dimension(100,200));
setLayout(new GridLayout(1,5));
add(nameLabel);
//Add remaining components here and display dialog
public void connect(){
//connect to database here
public void ActonPerformed(ActionEvent evt){
//do events here
}Profile class;
public class Profile extends JPanel{
JLabel fnameLabel,lnameLabel,dobLabel;
JTextField fnameText,lnameText,dobText;
Login login;
public Profile(){
//initialize variables here
public void connect(){
//connect to database here
public void getProfile() {
String uname = login.name.getText();
          String fname = "";
          String lname = "";
          String dob = "";
          Statement stmt = null;
          connect();
          try {
          stmt = conn.createStatement();
          ResultSet result = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT Firstname,Lastname,DOB FROM Profile WHERE User_id ='"+uname+'" ");
               if (result.next()) {
                    fname = result.getString("Firstname");
                    lname = result.getString("Lastname");
                    dob = result.getString("DOB");
                                        if ((fname.length() != 0) && (lname.length() != 0)) {
                         fnameText.setText(fname);          lnameText.setText(lname);               dobText.setText(dob);                    validate();
     repaint();
          } catch (Exception ex) {
               System.out.println(ex);
               //JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Please enter your username\n
               // and password", "Logon error", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
}So please i need your help.....
