Question

I’ve two different classes:

Cliente.java

public class Cliente {
    private static String user;
    private static String password;
    public Cliente (String usr, String pass) {
        user = usr;
        password = pass;
    }
    public String getUser() {
        return user;
    }
}

And AddToArrayList.java, where I create a Client type ArrayList and and some clients:

public class AddToArrayList{
    static ArrayList<Cliente> listaClientes = new ArrayList<Cliente>();

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

        Cliente c1 = new Cliente("pepe","pepe1");
        Cliente c2 = new Cliente("jose","jose1");
        Cliente c3 = new Cliente("edu","edu1");       
        listaClientes.add(c1);
        listaClientes.add(c2);
        listaClientes.add(c3);

        printArraList();
    }

    public static void printArraList() throws IOException {     
        for (Cliente c : listaClientes) {
            System.out.println(c.getUser());
        } 
    }

}

Why does this funciont prints me:
edu
edu
edu
Instead of:
pepe
jose
edu

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Static variables are Class level variables. To have separate copies of String user; and String password; for each instance of Cliente, make then non-static.
