Deprecated something

Question

I have narrowed it down to the events method and it seems there is a problem with the event. I have it working kinda right and I wanted to clear the buffer.
http://www.state.nj.us/military/test/testingjava/applet.htm
try the applet out. type in bob press search then press search again.
it is repeating the text. but it also seems that it may not be the buffer.
THE MAIN CONCERN IS THE DEPRECATED ERROR
the error:
Note: Z:\applications\JCreator LE\MyProjects\helloworld\test\teststate\Virginia.java uses or overrides a deprecated API. Recompile with "-deprecation" for details.

the foowing is the code:

Answer 1

I tried to compile you program, but it failed. The problem is that you tried to assign String value to String[] in following code.
results=(line);
It need to be changed to: results=line;
Another problem is that your define array size for results as 10. If the file that you got from internet has more than 10 line number, you will get exception.
By the way, for DEPRECATED ERROR I fixed your codes as shown bellow. It will fix the deprecation problem.

String queryString;
TextArea lt;
Label lbQueryString= new Label("Please enter search text:");
TextField tfQueryString= new TextField(25);
Button btSearch=new Button("Search");
Button btClear=new Button("Clear Entry");
private void getString()
try{
URL yahoo = new URL("http://www.nj.gov/military/test/testme.txt");
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(yahoo.openStream()));
String line= in.readLine();
System.out.println(" in ");
int i=0;
while ( line != null )
int index = line.indexOf(queryString.trim());
if ( index != -1)
results=(line);
i++;
System.out.println(i);
line = in.readLine();
in.close();
}catch (IOException e)
{System.out.println("Error -- " + e.toString());}
for (int i=0;i<10;i++)
if(results!=null)
resultsString+=(results+"\n");
/*public boolean action(Event evt, Object arg)

String label = (String)arg;
if (label.equals("Search"))
queryString=tfQueryString.getText();
this.getString();
lt.setText(resultsString);
}else
queryString="";
lt.setText("");
return true;
}else
return false;
public void init()
btnSearch.addActionListener(new ButtonHandler());
btClear.addActionListener(new ButtonHandler());
lt = new TextArea(resultsString, 10, 50);
