Calling another method help?

[xxdave]

I have a Member Class and Holiday Class

public void selectHoliday(String Holiday)
{
System.out.println("Member " +membershipNumber+ " has selected a holiday ref number " +refNo+ ".");
}

My question is how can I link the refNo from my Holiday Class to the Member Class where this piece of code is?

Thanks.

The Member class needs to have a reference to/instance of the Holiday class. Then you would make a method call on that instance. Just like you call equals/length/charAt etc on a String object.

Your problem (I think) is that you're passing in a String representation of the Holiday in your selectHoliday(...) parameter and so have no way of referencing the Holiday object. Instead, if you have a decent Holiday class, consider changing your method structure so that it accepts a Holiday parameter, not a String parameter. Then you can call methods on the Holiday reference that was passed into the method:

public void selectHoliday(Holiday holiday)
{
   System.out.println("Member " +membershipNumber+ " has selected a holiday ref number " + holiday.getRefNo() +  ".");
}

Note that you should not access the actual refNo property (or variable) but instead should call a public accessor method to obtain it, a "getter" method such as getRefNo().
