Java Applets Linked To Application Code

[willwmagic]

It has been a while since I have programmed in Java. However, what i am trying to do is create a simple Point-Of-Sale system for a restaurant. I understand the basic concepts for Java methods and functions etc... but from my classes I never actually learned how to connect a Java GUI to back end code.

Essentially, what i want is that when a user clicks a button on the GUI, this will send a commend to a certain method that adds that item to a order.

Does anyone have good tutorials that could be recommended for this? Thanks.

The sun site has a good swing tutorial. You basically want to learn about event handling. In this case you want to use the actionPerformed method of the ActionListener interface.
