MySQL help

Question

I have been trying to creat an application recently. One of the menu screens I have created is a User login screen, with a TextField, UserID and a PasswordFeild, Password. I has also made a simple database for test purposes and have included fields inside it for UserID and Password. The database has been done using MySQL. How can I connect to it and use the values stored in the table to verify the details entered by anyone. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

you need to create a database class. This class provides services supported by database.
class Database {
public void verifyLogin() throws UserUnknown, LoginInvalid;
...other serices...
I am sure you have a login button. The button need to add an actionlistener, MyGuiListener...
class MyGuiListener implements ActionListener {
public void actonPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
database.verifyLogin(usr,pwd);
This is a class that implements an actionlistener inteface. Once an action is generated, the listener actionPerformed method is called. The method should use the database object to verifyLogin(String UserName, String password);
