Data transfer from one frame to another

Question

Developers
I am new to swing :)
I am working on employee information system. I am taking some employee information
(say name, address, telephone) on frame1 and after clicking
next button which is on frame1, displaying that information on frame2.
On frame2 I am taking some more information about that employee and after clicking
on next button of frame2, I am displaying all information from both frame1 and frame2 on
frame3. On frame 3 there are 2 buttons say save and back.
If user clicks on save his information will be saved in DB or if user click on back
he will be forwarded to back frame.
So how can I proceed? How and where can I store the information from frame1 and frame2
which I am displaying on frame3
With anticipatory thanks

I agree with the card layout idea, but in general, if you want to store data together that comes from multiple views, then using the Model/View/Controller pattern is often the way to go.
The main idea is to have one class (the model) that stores all the data, one or more views that can display and update it, and a controller class to tie everything together and give access from the outside world. Often, in simple cases, the controller and view are in the same class, but in your case, perhaps not. Alternatively combining the model and controller may make sense, and then just have separate view classes.
