I currently have a JPanel object that contains multiple text boxes, labels,
a checkbox and a button.
At a certain point I want to reset all of the items in the JPanel.  I want
the text boxes to be blank, the checkboxes unchecked and so forth.  I have
been trying to use the component method to iterate through the JPanel
objects, but I can reset the text boxes because .setText() is not
available.. Anyone have any suggestions on how to do this instead of going
through all of the object items manually.

Here is the code snippet I tried to use

void clearFields(JPanel object)
 {
  int components=object.getComponentCount();
  int val=0;
  JTextField testTextField = new JTextField();
  JCheckBox testCheckBox = new JCheckBox();
    for (int i=0;i<components;i++)
  {
    if(object.getComponent(i).getClass() == testTextField.getClass())
    object.getComponent(i).setText("");  /*This is part that doesn't
work???? */

    if(object.getComponent(i).getClass() == testCheckBox.getClass())
    object.getComponent(i).setEnabled(false);


  }
