Hi all,
I'm using the JPasswordField to get the user insert password. Previously it
uses getText() to retrieve the password, but now the getText() for
JPasswordField has been deprecated, the getPassword is recommended instead.
But i have no idea how to retrieve the data from the JPasswordField.

Do anyone have any idea?

Thanks and Regards,

Max.

Err, how about using getPassword() ?
It gives you a char array. You can then either create a String with it (not
recommended for the same reason getText() is deprecated), or compare it
with another char array, that you can create using
"correctpassword".toCharArray().

table, using getPassword() return some unknown char[] which i don't really

By storing in a table, do you mean storing the value in a DB?

Could you show the code where you try to do that?
You should be able to just create a String from the char[], and store that.
