Re: "new to Java" question...

Depends on the purpose for the class. I might add that I too am a rookie to
Java. (I hate the term newbie). If it is a class that accesses a table,
there are normally setter and getter routines for accessing the data. I'm
sure some of the more seasoned Java pros here will chime in for other
reasons and theories.

Thanks,

Mark

Mark,

Thanks for the response...I just was curious if it could be done...is it
common, then, to have a crapload of class variables?...

Isn't that the idea behind encapsulation? So method variables cannot be
accessed. Make them class variables.

Thanks,

Is there an easier way to access method variables in another method other
than passing them on the call?  here's an example:

public static void main(String args[]) {
  DB2400 nal820 = new DB2400("nal820");
  getData(nal820);
  nal820.disconnect();
}

public static void getData(DB2400 nal820) {
  //process data
}

could I do something in the getData method to access my "nal820" variable
without passing it?  I'm sure it's something really easy and basic, but
like the subject says, it's a "new to Java" type of question...Thanks...
