java unable to delete from array list

Hi,

I am new to forums. This is my first forum post ever.
I am new to java and i am creating a desktop application.
I have a table in ManageJPanel and when i click on add button, it goe to addJPanel, i can add item and go back to Manageitem jpanel.To view the item, i highlight the selected item and click on View button. It will take me to viewjpanel. Here i can choose to remove the item by clicking the remove button.
All the items are in a class. Since there will be many items, there is a array list of the items created in item catalog class.

My proble: i am unable to remove the item from the table on the click on remove button.
