   ....
}

well .. for one, studentBean is an instance of StudentBean, newStudent is an instance of Student
and if I may ask, what is this: StudentBean studentBean=(StudentBean)
supposed to do? you'll need to finish the line by placing a ';' and even with that, doesn't really look very ... looking for the right word, just not finding it at the moment ... to me. StudentBean doesn't exist(yet)
what I think you want is : StudentBean studentBean = new StudentBean();
