Video Tutorial
This tutorial explained in-detail in the below video tutorial:
Tools and Technologies used
- JDK 1.8
- MySQL Connector Java - 8.0.13
- JDBC - 4.2
- Eclipse IDE
What we'll build?
Below are functionalities we will build in this tutorial:
- User login
- User Logout
- User Change Password
Database Setup
Make sure that you have installed the MySQL server on your machine.
Let's first create a database with the following SQL statement:
create database swing_demo;
Now, let's create a student table in the above-created database with the following SQL statement:
CREATE TABLE student
( id int NOT NULL,
name varchar(250) NOT NULL,
password varchar(250)
);
Insert a single record in the above table with the following SQL statement:
INSERT INTO student (id, name, password)
VALUES (1, 'Ramesh', 'Ramesh@1234');
Create a Simple Java Project
Let's create a simple Java project in Eclipse IDE, name this project as "swing-registration-from-example".
You can use this tutorial to create a simple Java project in Eclipse IDE.Connecting With Database
In order to connect our Java program with the MySQL database, we need to include MySQL JDBC driver which is a JAR file, namely mysql-connector-java-8.0.13-bin.jar.
Let's download this jar file and add it to your project classpath.
Develop User Login Form
Let's write a code to develop the above user login form using Java Swing APIs.
package com.javaguides.javaswing.login;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JPasswordField;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.border.EmptyBorder;
public class UserLogin extends JFrame {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private JTextField textField;
private JPasswordField passwordField;
private JButton btnNewButton;
private JLabel label;
private JPanel contentPane;
/**
* Launch the application.
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
UserLogin frame = new UserLogin();
frame.setVisible(true);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
/**
* Create the frame.
*/
public UserLogin() {
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setBounds(450, 190, 1014, 597);
setResizable(false);
contentPane = new JPanel();
contentPane.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
setContentPane(contentPane);
contentPane.setLayout(null);
JLabel lblNewLabel = new JLabel("Login");
lblNewLabel.setForeground(Color.BLACK);
lblNewLabel.setFont(new Font("Times New Roman", Font.PLAIN, 46));
lblNewLabel.setBounds(423, 13, 273, 93);
contentPane.add(lblNewLabel);
textField = new JTextField();
textField.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.PLAIN, 32));
textField.setBounds(481, 170, 281, 68);
contentPane.add(textField);
textField.setColumns(10);
passwordField = new JPasswordField();
passwordField.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.PLAIN, 32));
passwordField.setBounds(481, 286, 281, 68);
contentPane.add(passwordField);
JLabel lblUsername = new JLabel("Username");
lblUsername.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
lblUsername.setForeground(Color.BLACK);
lblUsername.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.PLAIN, 31));
lblUsername.setBounds(250, 166, 193, 52);
contentPane.add(lblUsername);
JLabel lblPassword = new JLabel("Password");
lblPassword.setForeground(Color.BLACK);
lblPassword.setBackground(Color.CYAN);
lblPassword.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.PLAIN, 31));
lblPassword.setBounds(250, 286, 193, 52);
contentPane.add(lblPassword);
btnNewButton = new JButton("Login");
btnNewButton.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.PLAIN, 26));
btnNewButton.setBounds(545, 392, 162, 73);
btnNewButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
String userName = textField.getText();
String password = passwordField.getText();
try {
Connection connection = (Connection) DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/swing_demo",
"root", "root");
PreparedStatement st = (PreparedStatement) connection
.prepareStatement("Select name, password from student where name=? and password=?");
st.setString(1, userName);
st.setString(2, password);
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery();
if (rs.next()) {
dispose();
UserHome ah = new UserHome(userName);
ah.setTitle("Welcome");
ah.setVisible(true);
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(btnNewButton, "You have successfully logged in");
} else {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(btnNewButton, "Wrong Username & Password");
}
} catch (SQLException sqlException) {
sqlException.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
contentPane.add(btnNewButton);
label = new JLabel("");
label.setBounds(0, 0, 1008, 562);
contentPane.add(label);
}
}
In this above example, we no need to register a JDBC driver because since Java 1.6 and JDBC 4.0 API, it provides a new feature to discover java.sql.Driver automatically, it means the Class.forName is no longer required. Just put any JDBC 4.x driver in the project classpath, and Java is able to detect it.

Develop User Home Page
After user login successfully, this page will be displayed.
Let's write a code to develop the above user home page using Java Swing APIs:
package com.javaguides.javaswing.login;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.UIManager;
import javax.swing.border.EmptyBorder;
public class UserHome extends JFrame {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1 L;
private JPanel contentPane;
/**
* Launch the application.
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
UserHome frame = new UserHome();
frame.setVisible(true);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
public UserHome() {
}
/**
* Create the frame.
*/
public UserHome(String userSes) {
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setBounds(450, 190, 1014, 597);
setResizable(false);
contentPane = new JPanel();
contentPane.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
setContentPane(contentPane);
contentPane.setLayout(null);
JButton btnNewButton = new JButton("Logout");
btnNewButton.setForeground(new Color(0, 0, 0));
btnNewButton.setBackground(UIManager.getColor("Button.disabledForeground"));
btnNewButton.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.PLAIN, 39));
btnNewButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
int a = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(btnNewButton, "Are you sure?");
// JOptionPane.setRootFrame(null);
if (a == JOptionPane.YES_OPTION) {
dispose();
UserLogin obj = new UserLogin();
obj.setTitle("Student-Login");
obj.setVisible(true);
}
dispose();
UserLogin obj = new UserLogin();
obj.setTitle("Student-Login");
obj.setVisible(true);
}
});
btnNewButton.setBounds(247, 118, 491, 114);
contentPane.add(btnNewButton);
JButton button = new JButton("Change-password\r\n");
button.setBackground(UIManager.getColor("Button.disabledForeground"));
button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
ChangePassword bo = new ChangePassword(userSes);
bo.setTitle("Change Password");
bo.setVisible(true);
}
});
button.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.PLAIN, 35));
button.setBounds(247, 320, 491, 114);
contentPane.add(button);
}
}
Develop Change Password Form
We can use the below change password form to change the current password to a new password.
Let's write a code to develop above change password form using Java Swing APIs:
package com.javaguides.javaswing.login;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.border.EmptyBorder;
public class ChangePassword extends JFrame {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private JPanel contentPane;
private JTextField textField;
private JLabel lblEnterNewPassword;
/**
* Launch the application.
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
/**
* Create the frame.
*/
public ChangePassword(String name) {
setBounds(450, 360, 1024, 234);
setResizable(false);
contentPane = new JPanel();
contentPane.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
setContentPane(contentPane);
contentPane.setLayout(null);
textField = new JTextField();
textField.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.PLAIN, 34));
textField.setBounds(373, 35, 609, 67);
contentPane.add(textField);
textField.setColumns(10);
JButton btnSearch = new JButton("Enter");
btnSearch.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
String pstr = textField.getText();
try {
System.out.println("update password name " + name);
System.out.println("update password");
Connection con = (Connection) DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/swing_demo",
"root", "root");
PreparedStatement st = (PreparedStatement) con
.prepareStatement("Update student set password=? where name=?");
st.setString(1, pstr);
st.setString(2, name);
st.executeUpdate();
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(btnSearch, "Password has been successfully changed");
} catch (SQLException sqlException) {
sqlException.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
btnSearch.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.PLAIN, 29));
btnSearch.setBackground(new Color(240, 240, 240));
btnSearch.setBounds(438, 127, 170, 59);
contentPane.add(btnSearch);
lblEnterNewPassword = new JLabel("Enter New Password :");
lblEnterNewPassword.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.PLAIN, 30));
lblEnterNewPassword.setBounds(45, 37, 326, 67);
contentPane.add(lblEnterNewPassword);
}
}
