switch data between jfram and jdialog

[javastuden]

hi all ,
i have a class InventoryGUI in that i'm implements Observer and from the update method i'm updating the jtable row with new values.
in the InventoryGUI i'm calling a LIstener class which extends observable and it addobserver with the values that are getting from a socket program.
if a client send a data to a pport that is listening by the LIstener class.
i had added a button to start the listening see the code in the class InventoryGUI

if (jButton1.getText().trim().equals("Start Listening")) {
			jButton1.setForeground(Color.red);

			jButton1.setText("Stop Listening");
			listner = new Listner();
			Observer observer = new InventoryGUI();
			listner.addObserver(observer);
			thread = new Thread(listner);
			thread.start();

		}

and LIstener implements Runnable
so it start lisning the port and when the data came it call setChanged() and notifyObservers(data);
ok that will show the value in the jtable's 1st column

ok
now i add a new tab and it will call a class InventorySales
that class when calling it will also do the same

			listner = new Listner();
			Observer observer = new InventorySales();
			listner.addObserver(observer);
			thread = new Thread(listner);
			thread.start();

		}

but if this code is added in my that pop up a jdialog window and show the data that are listening ,but it shows "Address already in use: JVM_Bind"

if i changed listner = new SalesListner(); maeans a new class for that listening then also the same eror

and if i send data to the second (jdialog) the data will go to the first frame InventoryGUI ,but the button on InventoryGUI is not clicked then there is no problem

so how can i recognise that the if jdialog is popup then the observer has to send data to the jdialog


please expalin me correctly ,i hope all of you go my problem



thanks in advance

I'm not sure I fully understand what you're doing and what your problem is, but I suspect that you want both Obsevers to listen to the same Observable and this may not be happening because you are creating another Observable. It seems that your Listner variable, listner is a class field, and that you initialize it when jButton1 is pressed (please rename this variable to something that makes sense since "jButton1" tells us and you nothing about the button's function). The problem may be coming when you create a new Listner object in your second bit of code, and then start a new thread with this object. What if you don't create a new object and use the current one and just add your new Observer to it, perhaps something like so?:

      if (listner != null) {
         // listner = new Listner();
         Observer observer = new InventorySales();
         listner.addObserver(observer);
         // thread = new Thread(listner);
         // thread.start();
      } else {
         // your listner is null and perhaps you do need to create a new one and start a thread.
      }

Oh, I added code tags to your post above. Please understand that the tags for this forum are [code] and [/code], not <code> and <code>

Best of luck!

thanks for reply

See class A implemts runnable and in run method accepts the values from a port in that setchanged and notifyObservers(data); methods are there.

class B implements Observer which uses a button and onclick will call the thread to start like this

listner = new Listner();

			Observer observer = b;
			listner.addObserver(observer);
			thread = new Thread(listner);
			thread.start();

ok when the data came in the port it will call the observer's update and that will populate the table column.

in the same class B a jmenuitem on select
just call new C().main();(where C is another class and for the eas of use remove the String args[] from the main)

and in the main()

c= new C();
		Listner listner = new Listner();
		Observer observer = c;
		listner.addObserver(observer);
		// used the same listner
		Thread thread = new Thread(listner);
		thread.start();
		c.setVisible(true);

if i clicked the button and select the jmenuitem then JVM already exist error will be showing ,if i clicked the button only no problem,and stped the program and then again run the program and selected the jmenuitem then no problem it will work correctly and data will be forwarded respectivly to the frame popup

what is the problem and how can i correct it

thanks in advance
