Hi to all,
            Thanks for your help .It really helps me a lot.Although you told
me that how to do this homework but after reading your replies i m also
facing problem in doing that but atlast i did it but i want to know that is
my approach  right?  and if there is any other alternative please tell me .
Here what i did

As you told me to initialize StudentRecord i did it

         public class Student {
       /**Create an instance of Student class */
     public Student(){
        studentRecord = new StudentRecord();
    }

Then in the same class(Student) i wrote setter and getter method in this way

                public String getName(){
        return studentRecord.getName();
    }

    public void setName(String name){
        studentRecord.setName(name);
    }

and then in the main class(in my case MyOwnProjectMain) I set and call it in
this way

          annaStudent.setName("Anna");

          System.out.println("Name = " + annaStudent.getName());

Is this approach is right? . My question is can we do it without creating
the above setName and getName method in Student class
Actually in the first place I initialize studentRecord as you told me in the
Student constructor then without writing the above setter and getter
methods(setName and getName) in Student class i try to access the name in
this way

               annaStudent.studentRecord.setName("Anna");

But it again says that studentRecord has private access in Student class

Also as Vasile says that try

           StudentRecord rec = annaStudent.getStudentRecord();

I also did it but it syas no symbol found in Student class then i replace
the getStudentRecord() to getName() and setName() but it again says that no
setName and getName method in Student class.

So please tell me is it necessary to create these setName and getName method
that i did, in the Student class or is there any alternative to do it
.Thanks for your help
