JFrame Closing problem in windowClosing event!

Question

Hi,
I have a small question and need your help to solve this. I have a JFrame and I have overriden it's windowClosing method. Now Inside this method I pop a message and asks user if they really want to quit. If YES is clicked the Application exits and on any other click I just keep the JFrame showing. But whenever the user clicks NO or click the CLOSE BUTTON the Application doesn't exits but the JFrame hides and have no way to show it again. Here is code snippet:...
frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter()
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e)
int confirm = 0;
confirm = JOptionPane.showOptionDialog(null,"Close","Close",JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION,JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE,null, null, null);
if(confirm == 0) //yes
System.out.println("**** CLOSING THE JFRAME");
System.exit(0);
else
//Here I still the JFrame is hidding itself as I want to stay it
//visible.
System.out.println(" DO NOT CLOSE THE JFRAME");
return;                              
How can I get arround this problem. I just want to exit the Application if the YES BUTTON is clicked else I want to keep the Application running and showing.
Thanks for any help

Use the windowClosing() method instead. When using it, if you don't call window.setVisible( false ), it won't get closed.myFrame.addWindowListener( new WindowAdapter() {
    public void windowClosing( WindowEvent we ) {
        int result = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog( myFrame,
            "Are you sure you want to close the window?", "Close", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION );
        if( result == JOptionPane.YES_OPTION ) {
            myFrame.setVisible( false );
});
