So here I have two classes: Customer Order Class and Confirmation Class. I want to access the data stored in LastNameTextField (Customer Order Class) and set it as the text for UserLastNameLabel (Confirmation Class) after clicking a "Submit" button. For some reason however, the output displays nothing.

Snippet of my code: package customer_order;

public class customer_order extends Frame{ private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; private JPanel jPanel = null; private JLabel LastNameLabel = null; protected JTextField LastNameTextField = null; private JButton SubmitButton = null; public String s;

public customer_order() {
    super();
    initialize();
}

private void initialize() {
    this.setSize(729, 400);
    this.setTitle("Customer Order");

    this.add(getJPanel(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
}

/**
 * This method initializes LastNameTextField    
 *  
 * @return javax.swing.JTextField   
 */
public JTextField getLastNameTextField() {
    if (LastNameTextField == null) {
        LastNameTextField = new JTextField();
        LastNameTextField.setBounds(new Rectangle(120, 100, 164, 28));
        LastNameTextField.setName("LastNameTextField");
            }

    return LastNameTextField;
}
/**
 * This method initializes SubmitButton 
 *  
 * @return javax.swing.JButton  
 */
private JButton getSubmitButton() {
    if (SubmitButton == null) {
        SubmitButton = new JButton();
        SubmitButton.setBounds(new Rectangle(501, 225, 96, 29));
        SubmitButton.setName("SubmitButton");
        SubmitButton.setText("Submit");
        SubmitButton.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent e) {
                System.out.println("actionPerformed()"); // TODO Auto-generated Event stub actionPerformed()
                //THE STRING I WANT
      s = LastNameTextField.getText();
                java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                    public void run() {
                        new confirmation().setVisible(true);

                    }
                });
            }
        });     
    }
    return SubmitButton;
}

package customer_order;

public class confirmation extends customer_order{ private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; private JPanel jPanel = null; // @jve:decl-index=0:visual-constraint="58,9" private JLabel LastNameLabel = null; private JLabel UserLastNameLabel = null;

//  @jve:decl-index=0:
/**
 * This method initializes frame    
 *  
 * @return java.awt.Frame   
 */
public confirmation() {
    super();
    initialize();
}

private void initialize() {
    this.setSize(729, 400);
    this.setTitle("Confirmation");

    this.add(getJPanel(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
}
/**
 * This method initializes jPanel   
 *  
 * @return javax.swing.JPanel   
 */
private JPanel getJPanel() {
    if (jPanel == null) {
        UserLastNameLabel = new JLabel();
        UserLastNameLabel.setBounds(new Rectangle(121, 60, 167, 26));
        //THE PROBLEM?
        UserLastNameLabel.setText(s);

    }
    return jPanel;
}
