I am trying to form a simple login database with SQL (mySQL workbench) and Java (Eclipse). I am not sure how to test the string input (JTextField and JPasswordField) against the database in SQL on even against any other strings.

I would like Java to print a statement out if the login credentials are equal to specified strings. Here is my current code:

```
import javax.swing.*;
import java.sql.*;

public class Hello1 extends JFrame {

private static final long serialVersionUID = 1487932324102279819L;

public static void main(String[] args) {

    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Frame Demo");
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.setSize(350,200);

    JPanel panel = new JPanel();
    frame.add(panel);
    placeComponents(panel);

    frame.setVisible(true);

    String username0 = "java";
    String password = "password";

    Statement stmt = null;
    try{
        String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/javabase?useSSL=false";
        Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username0, password);
        stmt = connection.createStatement();
        ResultSet rs;
        rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * from userids ");
        while(rs.next()) {
            String user = rs.getString("username");
            String pass = rs.getString("paswrd");
            System.out.println(user);
            System.out.println(pass);
        }
        connection.close();

        }

        catch (Exception e) {
             System.err.println("Got an exception! ");
             System.err.println(e.getMessage());
        }
     }

private static void placeComponents(JPanel panel) {

    panel.setLayout(null);
    JLabel userLabel = new JLabel("Username");
    userLabel.setBounds(10,20,80,25);
    panel.add(userLabel);

    JTextField userText = new JTextField(20);
    userText.setBounds(100, 20, 165, 25);
    panel.add(userText);
    String user = userText.getText();       

    JLabel passwordLabel = new JLabel("Password");
    passwordLabel.setBounds(10,50,80,25);
    panel.add(passwordLabel);

    JPasswordField passwordText = new JPasswordField(20);
    passwordText.setBounds(100,50,165,25);
    panel.add(passwordText);
    String pass = passwordText.getSelectedText();

    if(user.equals('b') && pass.equals('t')){
        System.out.println("Correct Login");
    }
    System.out.println(pass);

    JButton loginB = new JButton("Login");
    loginB.setBounds(10, 80, 80, 25);
    panel.add(loginB);

}

}

```

I have tried getting the text in each userText/passwordText by using the .getText() and .getSelectedText() methods.
