Why change to same variable in one anonymous class is not visible in another anonym class in java? -

i have interesting issue should explain.

my code simple:

public class savefilechooser extends basefilechooser {      private string selectedfilepath = null;      public savefilechooser(string title) {         super(title);          super.addpropertychangelistener(file_filter_changed_property, new propertychangelistener() {             @override             public void propertychange(propertychangeevent evt) {                  system.out.println(" selectedfilepath=" + selectedfilepath);              }         });          super.addpropertychangelistener(selected_file_changed_property, new propertychangelistener() {             @override             public void propertychange(propertychangeevent evt) {                 selectedfilepath = string.valueof(evt.getnewvalue());                 system.out.println("selectedfilepath=" + selectedfilepath);              }         });     } } 

as see selectedfilepath variable assigned value in below listener selected_file_changed_property property.

and in above listener value of var read. see on console @ first assign new non-null value in bottom listener , read in above listener.

unfortunately selectedfilepath in above listener null. why that?
