fundamental java question from a novice!

[James Lechte]

The following situation i have relies on fundamentals of programming and at the moment i am a bit stuck!
problem:
8 classes based around a bank system that creates and manages accounts. The bank class handles interaction with all other classes of the bank - ie. account(abstract) savings, cheque whilst remaining classes handle the GUI interface.
When i build the container class i need to add an account to the bank(which stores accounts) then update the JList properly. how is this done effectively?? like container to listener to bank = bank to listener to container?
the prob is in the code for the listener to create account
ie.
getWindow().getList().addElement(theBank.createChequeAccount(accountName);
so this goes off and adds to the vector in the bank, but i have to update the listmodel through a setter?
classes below shows connection:
import java.util.Vector;
import java.util.Iterator;
public class Bank {
private String bankName;
private Vector accounts;
public Bank(String inBankName) {
setVector();
setBankName(inBankName);
}

private void setVector() {
accounts = new Vector();
}
private void setBankName(String inBankName) {
bankName = inBankName;
}

public boolean createSavingsAccount(String inName) {
SavingsAccount theAccount = new SavingsAccount(inName);
accounts.addElement(theAccount);
return true;
}

public boolean createChequeAccount(String inName) {
ChequeAccount theAccount = new ChequeAccount(inName);
accounts.addElement(theAccount);
return true;
}

public double getTotalBalance() {
double totalAmount = 0.0;
Iterator i =accounts.iterator();
while(i.hasNext()) {
Account anAccount =(Account)i.next();
totalAmount += anAccount.getAccountBalance();
}
return totalAmount;
}

public boolean verifyAccount(String inAccountNumber) {
Iterator i = accounts.iterator();
while(i.hasNext()) {
Account anAccount = (Account)i.next();

return true;
}
return false;

while(i.hasNext()) { //loops vector
