Java JFrames

    Hi, I am new to JFrames and would like some general advice. If I want to have a Login JFrame and a DoStuff JFrame, how do I get them to communicate. In the Login frame, I have a username, password, another text field and commit & quit JButtons, with an actionlistner added to the buttons. On the second frame I want to display the username and the contents of the other text field (basically a number of items of data from frame1). When the user commits on the login frame, I want to display the second frame which includes the data that was entered in the first, plus more enterable fields, and commit & quit JButtons.
    1) How many classes should I have, i.e. should I have a class per frame and a controlling class, and a class to represent the data, e.g. a pojo. What clases should implement the listeners.
    2) What listeners should I have for the 2 sets of buttons and how do I communicate betweens the frames, how do both frames reference the pojo.
    I am asking thes questions so that I can build a multi-frame application to a reasoble pattern.
    Any help appreciated.
