Passing an object accross classes.

Question

Hi all,
I'm trying to declare an object in one class and then pass that instance over to a second class, when I try to run my code I get "Debugger stopped on uncompileable source code" error!
I'm working with a series of JFrames, starting with a "welcome" screen and a "next" button:
    Order[] Order = new Order[99];
    int OrderNumber = 0;
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
        Object source = event.getSource();
        if (source == btnNext){
            OrderNumber++;
            Order[OrderNumber] = new Order();
            Name Name = new Name(Order[OrderNumber]);
            Name.show();
            this.hide();
    }This sets up a new order and passes the object over to the next JFrame class.
The user enters some information into some text fields which is then stored in the object instance:
    Order Order;
    Customer[] Customer = new Customer[99];
    int CustomerNumber = 0;
    Name(Order Order) {
        SetupUI();
        this.Order = Order;
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
        Object source = event.getSource();
        if (source == btnNext) {
            CustomerNumber++;
            Order.Customer[CustomerNumber] = new Customer();
            Order.Customer[CustomerNumber].SetName(txtName.toString());
            Order.Customer[CustomerNumber].SetTable(txtTable.toString());
            FirstCourseUI Menu = new FirstCourseUI(Order, Customer[CustomerNumber]);
            Menu.show();
            this.hide();
        }This seems to work fine, the object is passed over and I can commit the information to it. But this too uses the same method to send the objects over to the next JFrame, which should in turn begin adding some items for the customer:
    Order Order = new Order();
    Customer Customer = new Customer();
    FirstCourse FirstCourse = new FirstCourse();
    FirstCourseUI(Order Order, Customer Customer) {
        this.Order = Order;
        this.Customer = Customer;
        SetupUI();
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
        Object source = event.getSource();
        if(source == btnAdd) {
            String selectedItem = (String)lstMenu.getSelectedValue();
            Customer.AddItem(1, selectedItem);       // PROGRAM STOPS HERE
    }And this is where I run into problems, here is the AddItem method
    public void AddItem(int course, String item)
        int i = 0;
        switch(course)
            case 0:     // Drinks
                break;
            case 1:     // First Course
                while(FirstCourse[i] != null) {
                    i++;
                FirstCourse[i] = item;
                break;
            case 2:     // Second Course
                break;
            case 3:     // Third Course
                break;
            default:
                break;
        }As far as I can tell, this should work fine. I don't think the method itself is broken, the program just never gets to that point!
Any Ideas?
P.S. Sorry about the lack of comments in there, bad practice I know :\

Answer 1

Problem solved!
On the second JFrame where the user enters their name and table number, I was creating an object array of Customer - but my order class already has a Customer array! I was then passing over the wrong object array when the "Next" button was pressed.
    Order Order;
    int CustomerNumber = 0;
    Name(Order Order) {
        SetupUI();
        this.Order = Order;
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
        Object source = event.getSource();
        if (source == btnNext) {
            CustomerNumber++;
            Order.Customer[CustomerNumber] = new Customer();
            Order.Customer[CustomerNumber].SetName(txtName.toString());
            Order.Customer[CustomerNumber].SetTable(txtTable.toString());
            CoursesUI Menu = new CoursesUI(Order, Order.Customer[CustomerNumber]);
            Menu.show();
            this.hide();
    }It seems to be functioning correctly now :) Thanks for taking the time to look over it steve.
