Usual problem: cannot make a static....

[hendrix79]

Hello friends. Please, help me with this.

I simply need a login page. I created a button that will call patterns.Controlli.ConfermaLogin(campo_nome_utente , campo_password);

and Eclipse IDE returns me a Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method ConfermaLogin(JTextField,
JPasswordField) from the type Controlli

Here's my code:

Login.java

private void tasto_confermaActionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
		System.out.println("registra.actionPerformed, event="+evt);
	    patterns.Controlli.ConfermaLogin(campo_nome_utente, campo_password); 
	}

Here's patterns.Controlli.java

public void ConfermaLogin(JTextField nome_utente, JPasswordField campo_password){
			
			String testo_nome = nome_utente.getText();
			String testo_password = "";
			char[] char_pass = campo_password.getPassword();
			testo_password = String.valueOf(char_pass);
			if (testo_nome.equals("") || (testo_password.equals(""))) {
			JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Bisogna inserire nome utente e password.", "Non hai inserito tutti i campi!", JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE);
			} 
				else
					{
						JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Ok.", "Campi inseriti!", JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE );
						GestInterfaccia.Accesso(testo_nome, testo_password);
						
					}
		}

and up above, this command

GestInterfaccia.Accesso(testo_nome, testo_password);

return this error:

Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method Accesso(String, String) from the
type GestInterfaccia.

Here's GestInterfaccia.java

public void Accesso(String campo_nome, String campo_password) {
		
		patterns.BusinessDelegate.accesso(campo_nome, campo_password);
		
	}

and returns me this error:
Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method accesso(String, String) from the
type BusinessDelegate

and here's BusinessDelegate.java

public class BusinessDelegate {

	public void accesso(String campo_nome, String campo_password) {
	
		database.GestoreQuery.accesso(campo_nome, campo_password);
		
	}
	
	
}

I really can't understand how i can handle static and non-static. I know what does it mean, but i can't make it work.
Somebody help me!
Sorry for the intrication, but... that's how i need, it's not a small program, so i need to make some calls.
Please make some examples with my code, so i can understand better, and finally i won't break you anymore :P

class SomeClass{}

class anotherClass
{
   SomeClass sc = new SomeClass();
   sc.doSomething();
}

I left out some bare essentials to focus on your central challenge....In short, we have to "declare an instance of a class" which is what the SomeClass sc = new SomeClass(); does, we then place the method names of that class directly up against the name of the class followed by a dot '.' - this occurs in another class, that is called an instance of that class.

The keyword static works without calling new, but it has to be everywhere one uses the class from a static context....

if not this help, ask further.
