can't I take a single array for JTextField and JTextArea as both are derived from JTextComponent

[Kr. Pallav]

Below is the piece of code I am trying

  public class Bak extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
// more code
 JTextComponent jText[];
// more code
 public static void main(String args[]) throws ApplicationException {
        Bak q = new Bak();
        q.setVisible(true);
        q.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    }
public Bak() throws ApplicationException {
//more code

jText = new JTextField[quest.size()];
if (vo.getQuesResponseType().equals("single-line")) {
                    jText[j] = new javax.swing.JTextField();
                    jText[j].setBounds(xCord + 300, yCord + 60, 100, 20);
                    add(jText[j]);
                    yCord = yCord + 40;
                } else
                {
                    jText[j] = new javax.swing.JTextArea();
                    jText[j].setBounds(xCord + 300, yCord + 60, 100, 100);
                    add(jText[j]);
                    yCord = yCord + 120;

                }

  

The program compiles well but throws java.lang.ArrayStoreException: javax.swing.JTextArea
I know the reason is I am storing two different object JTextFiled and JTextArea to single array it is coming like that but both JTextField and JTextArea are derived from JTextComponent can't I take a single array , why to take two different array for them.
Is there any alternate way to do it in a single array .

JTextComponent jText[];
...
jText = new JTextField[quest.size()];

There's the problem. You have declared it as an array of JTextComponents, but in reality it's an array of JTextFields. Change the initialization to new JTextComponent[...] and you should be fine.
