Recieve value from another method

[Pol Appan]

hello,

I have a method like this

public String loadUser(String x){
    //Init in = new Init();
    String abc = x;
         currentUser = currentUser+abc; 
        System.out.println("Currentuser "+currentUser);
        return currentUser;
    }

I have another method

public void prepareSession(Session session) {
        //System.out.println("Reached   b value "+user);
        super.prepareSession(session);
}

How can I recieve value of first method loadUser in my second method?
I do not want to add another parameter to prepareSession method because it is over riding.

How can I achieve this?

Thanks

Would it work to make the currentUser variable a field instead?

No didn't work

Hi,

I assume your methods are in the same class. Declare the currentUser as an instance variable. eg

 private String currentUser = ""; 

bye for now

Ok.


String bn = "myString";



I did like this

public String loadUser(String x){
     this.bn = x;
          System.out.println("Currentuser in loadUser "+this.bn);
        return x;
    }

In prepareSession I called as this.bn, bn is showing as myString.

My question how to call bn is prepareSession method. I would lik to use bn in prepareSession method.

[satishkumar janakiraman]

In your method

public void prepareSession(Session session) { 
       System.out.println("Reached   b value "+ bn);      //bn is usedhere    
        super.prepareSession(session);
}
 

bye for now
