Passing String for an object name

[Joseph Russell]

Is it possible to do this:

public class Joe 
{
    createObject( "foo" );
    public void createObject( String s )
    {
        JFrame s = new JFrame();
    // Other goodies....
    }
}

Im not certain. The best thing to do when you have questions like this is to just try it. Try replacing
// Other goodies....
with something like this:
foo.add(new java.awt.Button("bar");
and see if you get a compile error.
I might even try it myself

I was getting an error. I think my problem was that I was attempting to name my object from an instance variable inside the method.
