how to pass string value from one class to another

[Benjamin Mulder]

let me explain...

on classA I have:

      
 
     jTextAreaClassA.setText("hello world");
 

I want to pass "hello world" to class B's jTextArea.

So I put on the button method.

 
classB.jTextAreaClassB.setText(jTextAreaClassA.getText());
 

but nothing happens on class B. jTextAreaClassB doesn't display "hello world" from jTextAreaClassA.

Thanks in advance

What type of classes are these and in what way should it be displayed?

Can you post more of the relevant code? Specifically, the declarations for the text fields involved here.
