How do i set a Bean property value from JTextField in Java?

Question

I have a JTextField in a LogInWindow(JFrame). In that JTextField the user enters it's name.

I have another StudentWindow (JFrame) and its constructor has that user name String as a parameter.

In my xml file how can i inject the input from the JTextField ?

<!-- GUI Beans -->
<bean id="logInWindow" class="gui.LogInWindow">
    <constructor-arg ref="controller"/>
    <property name="nameJTextField" value="?? Need help here ??"/>
</bean>

<bean id="studentWindow" class="gui.StudentWindow">
<constructor-arg ref="????????"/>
</bean>

Thanks in advance.

You can't. Spring parses the XML and creates beans based on it before either of your JFrame is ever showing. Unless I completely misunderstand your case...

Thanks for the tip. Ive just started learning Spring. I probably should research a little more. – Mythul Dec 25 '12 at 22:02
Probably...and you should also keep in mind that by default all Spring beans are singletons. – Marcel Stör Dec 25 '12 at 23:37
