Need help with actionlistener

[emesjee]

I'm designing a simple log in page, im pretty sure ive got most of the things in order, however.. the actionlisteners on my buttons dont appear to be working, and i have no idea why. If someone could help me solve this dilemma id be most grateful.

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class LogInGUI extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
	JButton button_1;
	JButton exitButton;
	JLabel welcome;
	JTextField username;
	JLabel label_1;
	JLabel label_2;
	JPasswordField password;
	JButton logInButton;
	JLabel info;

	public LogInGUI() {
		loginLayout customLayout = new loginLayout();

		getContentPane().setFont(new Font("Helvetica", Font.PLAIN, 12));
		getContentPane().setLayout(customLayout);

		button_1 = new JButton("Create New Portfolio");
		getContentPane().add(button_1);

		exitButton = new JButton("EXIT");
		getContentPane().add(exitButton);
		exitButton.addActionListener(this);

		welcome = new JLabel("Welcome the GMS Stock Portfolio Manager");
		getContentPane().add(welcome);

		username = new JTextField("");
		getContentPane().add(username);
		username.addActionListener(this);

		label_1 = new JLabel("Username");
		getContentPane().add(label_1);

		label_2 = new JLabel("Password");
		getContentPane().add(label_2);

		password = new JPasswordField();
		getContentPane().add(password);
		password.addActionListener(this);


		logInButton = new JButton("Log In");
		getContentPane().add(logInButton);
		logInButton.addActionListener(this);

		info = new JLabel("Please Enter your Log In details or Create a new Account");
		getContentPane().add(info);

		setSize(getPreferredSize());

		addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
			public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
				System.exit(0);
			}
		});
	}
	public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
		if (e.getActionCommand().equals("logInButton")){
			System.out.print("test");
			//	String pw = getPassword();
			//	String un = username.getText();

			//	System.out.print(un);
			//	try {
			//			UserManagement.logIn(un, pw);
			//	} catch (IOException e1) {
			//		// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			//			e1.printStackTrace();
			//		}
		}



	}

	public static void main(String args[]) {
		LogInGUI window = new LogInGUI();

		window.setTitle("login");
		window.pack();
		window.show();
	}




	private String getPassword() {
		char[] input = password.getPassword();
		String password = input.toString();
		return password;
	}



	class loginLayout implements LayoutManager {

		public loginLayout() {
		}

		public void addLayoutComponent(String name, Component comp) {
		}

		public void removeLayoutComponent(Component comp) {
		}

		public Dimension preferredLayoutSize(Container parent) {
			Dimension dim = new Dimension(0, 0);

			Insets insets = parent.getInsets();
			dim.width = 773 + insets.left + insets.right;
			dim.height = 575 + insets.top + insets.bottom;

			return dim;
		}

		public Dimension minimumLayoutSize(Container parent) {
			Dimension dim = new Dimension(0, 0);
			return dim;
		}

		public void layoutContainer(Container parent) {
			Insets insets = parent.getInsets();

			Component c;
			c = parent.getComponent(0);
			if (c.isVisible()) {c.setBounds(insets.left+152,insets.top+432,144,64);}
			c = parent.getComponent(1);
			if (c.isVisible()) {c.setBounds(insets.left+424,insets.top+432,144,64);}
			c = parent.getComponent(2);

			c = parent.getComponent(8);
			if (c.isVisible()) {c.setBounds(insets.left+296,insets.top+104,152,48);}

replace your actionPerformed method with this one:

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) 
	{
		//if (e.getActionCommand().equals("logInButton"))
		if(e.getSource().equals(logInButton))
		{
			System.out.print("test");
			//	String pw = getPassword();
			//	String un = username.getText();

			//	System.out.print(un);
			//	try {
			//			UserManagement.logIn(un, pw);
			//	} catch (IOException e1) {
			//		// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			//			e1.printStackTrace();
			//		}
		}
		else if(e.getSource().equals(exitButton))
		{
			System.exit(0);
		}
