I have complied 3 files (SerialBean.java;SerialBuffer.java;ReaderSerial.java) as my package successfully, it is named serial. The package extends javax.comm.*; I wanna do some serial work.
Then I maked an application :SerialExample1
--------------------------------------code----------------------------------
----------------------------SerialExmaple1.java-----------------------------
import serial.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.comm.*;
public class SerialExample1
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
SerialBean sB=new SerialBean(1);
sB.Initialize();
sB.WritePort("Hi,Chrono");
sB.ClosePort();
}
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is good enough to deliver the String "Hi,Chrono".
Then I maked another windows application :SerialExample2
------------------------------------code-------------------------------------
-----------------------------Frame1.java-------------------------------------

private XYLayout xYLayout1 = new XYLayout();
private Button button1 = new Button();
private TextField textField1 = new TextField();
private SerialBean sB=new SerialBean(1);
//Construct the frame
public Frame1()
{
enableEvents(AWTEvent.WINDOW_EVENT_MASK);
try
{
jbInit();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
//Component initialization
private void jbInit() throws Exception
{
//setIconImage(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(Frame1.class.getResource("[Your Icon]")));
contentPane = (JPanel) this.getContentPane();
button1.setLabel("button1");
button1.addActionListener(new Frame1_button1_actionAdapter(this));
contentPane.setLayout(xYLayout1);
this.setSize(new Dimension(400, 300));
this.setTitle("Frame Title");
textField1.setText("textField1");
contentPane.add(button1, new XYConstraints(54, 52, -1, -1));
contentPane.add(textField1, new XYConstraints(195, 57, -1, -1));
}
//Overridden so we can exit when window is closed
protected void processWindowEvent(WindowEvent e)
{
super.processWindowEvent(e);
if (e.getID() == WindowEvent.WINDOW_CLOSING)
{
System.exit(0);

{
this.adaptee = adaptee;
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
adaptee.button1_actionPerformed(e);
}
}

It is a bad code!!! I compiled them seccessfully but It can't work .The java system gave
some wrong messages
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I tried to debug it in Frame1.java:66 and SerialBean.java:115 but I can not find any error.
How to deal with it?

Please don't post the same question in multiple forums.
This has already been addressed here in the JiG (advanced) forum, so I'm going to close this thread and direct people there if they have a view.
