how to get a string return from JPasswordField?

[qionghua yang]

Hi,
I am using JPasswordField in my program. I would like to use this password to access to my Informix Database.
Some source code:
.....
JPasswordField password = new JPasswordField();
.....
Connection c = DriverManager.getConnection(url, userName.getText(), password.getPassword());
.....
This gives me some the compile error because the return value of getPassword is char[], and the DriverManager is expecting a String.
Anyone can help? Thanks!

Then you should create a String object from the char[] like this,

String strPassword = new String(password.getPassword());
Connection c = DriverManager.getConnection(url, userName.getText(), strPassword);
