Creating a Custom Guest Class
In the first chapter, you created individual variables to store a guest’s name,
e-mail address, and comments. When keeping track of multiple guests, it’s

do this by creating a Java class that contains the data for a single guest.
1. In Project Builder’s browser, select Classes in the first column.
2. Choose File m New in Project.
3. Type Guest.java as the name of the file.
4. Click OK.
The newly created file contains a skeleton for a class called Guest.
5. Enter the following code to complete the definition of the Guest class.
A class stores information in its instance variables (also referred to as
data members). Here you’re declaring three instance variables for Guest:
name , email , and comments . Note that these declarations are the same as
those that appeared in the code for Main.java when you added the three
variables using WebObjects Builder. In WebObjects, a component is
