Simple SQL Login to run the main class

[wiinter]

Hey -
I am currently studying A level computing at sixth form -
We are coding in java this year and to say the least - im crap.
Im trying to run a gui from a main class. From this gui they will input there username and password, which will validate with the sql database (All working fine)
However i need to work a way of getting the login class to give the main class the username of the person that was logged in.
I can then run various things of there username - whether they are a admin or not, and there current test scores.

However i cant seem to get the main class to run again when the login has been successful.
I've tried while and if's and cant think what else will make it happen!

Here is my code for the main:

package computinggraphtransformations;

/**

public class Main {
public static boolean logged = false;
public static String mainUsername;
public static boolean execLoop = true;

//if (Logged == true){
//}

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        //String mainUsername=null;
        //String mainUsername = args[0];
        //System.out.println(args[0]);
        while(execLoop == true){
        
        
        System.out.println("sdfhskdjf");
        if(logged == false){
            NewsqlLogin newsql = new NewsqlLogin();
            System.out.println("logged = false");
            System.out.println(mainUsername);
                        execLoop = false;

        }else if(logged == true){
            System.out.println("logged = else");
            System.out.println("debug " + mainUsername);
            
            
        }
    }
    }
    
    public static void newmain() {    
        Main Main = new Main();
        
    }
    
}

And for the Login window

Any help is much appreciated -

I hope to get all the GUI's to run from the main class, and then the main class can work out what to do (mostly run the main menu) when it receives some sort of response from the other gui classes.

Thanks

Joe.


P.S Have also attached the three .java's as tags dont seem to work
