how to read value of a JPasswordField ?

[frag]

Hi everybody!

I don't know how to get the value of a JPasswordField!!
I've tried the field's method "getPassword()" but it deliveres an array of characters (char[]). I don't know how to get the lenght of this array! I have to store the value of the JPasswordField in a string-value.

Can anybody help me, please?

thanx!

Hi.

If you want to get the length of the returned array just do this :

{
...
editPass.getPassword().length;//where editPass is an
//instance of JPasswordField
...
}

More generaly, the size of an array can be get by the length attribute.

Bye.
