Thanks!

I got the java.util.pref.Preferences to work. It was quite easy.

When I run my code the login dialog appears several times. It seems like
the init part of the Database Class is run several times. How do I control
creation order and order of events in Java?

Hello.
Where are many way in java to store settings-like data.
In your case, simplest, I think, will be use java.util.pref.Preferences
class. It was designed specially for such cases, and gives you the the
chance to store you settings without taking in mind the details. Actually,
on Win32 jdk implementation data really stored in regestry (if security
policy allows it). On unix-like machines, I think (but not sure) it will be
some sort of config-files. Take the look on javadoc for this class --
usage is very easy.
Good luck!
Ruslan.
