How to handle ItemListener in Dynamic JCheckBoxs

Question

In my code i create dynamic JCheckBoxes and add ItemListener to every JCheckBox. I want to triger different actions by selecting JCheckBoxes.
here is my code....
String names[] ={"AAAA","BBBB","CCCC","DDDD"};
JCheckBox cb[]=new JCheckBox[names.length];
for( int j=0;j<names.length;j++) {
cb[j] = new JCheckBox(names[j]);
cb[j].addItemListener(this);
this.add(cb[j]);
in my item stateChanged method,...
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e) {
Object x=e.getItemSelectable();
if (x == cb1) {
System.out.println("AAA is selected");
if (x == cb2) {
System.out.println("BBB is selected");
....like wise.
but here (x==cb1) gives an error
Is there any way to specify the exact JCheckBox which was selected?
pls help
