Values of Variables as Object names

Question

Hi!
Can a value of a variable be an object name, and how?
For example:
String test = "myname";
JLabel myname = new JLabel();
Is it possible to set the object name for the Label from the value of the String test (here: myname) without explicit typing the name of the Label in the code??
thanks
P.S. excuse my bad english - I hope you understand my question.

Answer 1

how can you dynamically create for example Labels? "new Label(text)" will dynamically create a new Label for you.
I have a database connection and I want to put let's say every value of a column into a new Label.Okay, so you put "new Label(text)" inside the loop that's reading the database. I expect you want to display these labels, so you'd want to add them to some GUI container. Like this: "container.add(new Label(text))".
how do I declare dynamically names for Labels?In the scenario where you just want to display the labels, you don't need to have "names" for them. But if you have some other scenario, like you need to get at the labels and change the text based on something else happening, then you use a Hashtable to store the Labels. You'd use a String as the key (that's your "name") and use the Label as the value. Then you can retrieve the Label from the Hashtable by using its get(key) method.
