    Default Re-Initialization of FrameView app components??

    Hi, i have written small program that works with TCP/IP sockets. I am connecting to a server with call to a connect function right after super(app); initComponents(); in the constructor, and i'm catching IOException, that i am throwing in the function for the connection that i have written outside of the constructor. At the Exception handling, in the catch block, i'm creating (with object of the main class) another window with dialog for entering another IP and port with button for reconnecting. Now, after all that pass, and the connection is up, my main window isn't showing up, because, i think, of the error exception that has happened in the first try. The matter is that if the connection is up after first try (when my server application is up and running), all works fine. So my question is: How can i make something like Re-Initialization of the main window, or in other words, how to continue to load the application. I have tried to put initComponents() after try/catch block for the connection but it can't be done that way because the window that is invoked from the catch block is attached to the main frame.

    Could you post your code? It'd be easier for us to understand what your problem is.

    From reading what it is you had written, I think it might work (not likely, though) if you move the variable declaration outside of the try block
    Frame mainFrame;
    boolean initialized = false;
    try
    {
         // your code in here
         initialized = true;
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
         // exception code
    }
    if (!initialized)
    {
         // initialize mainFrame here
    }

    Hi, thank you for your replay but i have already solved the problem.
    Only thing that i did was adding this.getFrame().setVisible(true); at the end of the function for the connection, because of the weird reason, when exception happens, my main window dissapeares. Maybe this is not the ultimate solution, but for now it works fine for me.

    Thanks again,
    Salut.
