Welcome to JavaRanch.

Can you please explain more clearly what your question is?

If your Employee class looks exactly like you posted, it's not of much use. You have a private member variable name but there is no way to get or set the value of that member variable.

HI
My question is that suppose i am entering 1000 employee name through this class which is directly store inside the ArrayList list object just like as Collection API's ArrayList. Similar to that but only difference is that when i am entering through this class it will store to that ArrayList object.So my question is that how i will access that all employee name through this ArrayList object reference.

When someone asks you to explain your question more clearly, that doesn't mean to just copy what you said before. On the contrary, it asks you to post something different. Something more understandable. Your question was impossible to understand the first time, and repeating it didn't make it any easier to understand.

I would suggest for a start posting meaningful code. And then asking a meaningful question about that code. So far you haven't done either of those things.

Also it's possible that you can't express yourself in English well enough. You might consider asking somebody with better English skills to help you out if that is true.

If you're not familiar with Java collection classes, you can find a very good tutorial here: The Java Tutorials - Collections (this was written by Josh Bloch - he is the one who originally invented and implemented the Java collections API!).
