Getting information about the certain object by clicking the certain image

I made the following class which contains information about users - name, age photo.

public class User{

private int age;
private String name;
ImageIcon icon;
JLabel image;

public int getAge() {
return age;
}


public String getName() {
return name;
}


public User(){
this.age = 0;
this.name = "";
}


public User(int age, String name){
this.age = age;
this.name = name;
icon = new ImageIcon(name + ".jpg");
image = new JLabel(icon, JLabel.Center);
}


}

I want to create the set of images with users' faces on JPanel. I want to get details of each user after clicking on his photo. So I put this code in the main class:

MouseListener myClick = new MouseListener(){

      @Override
      public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
      {
      User selected = new User();   
      selected.image = (JLabel) e.getComponent(); 
      System.out.println(selected.getAge() + " " + selected.getName());

      }
};

and

User[] users = new User[32];
  for (int i = 0; i < 32; i++)
       { 
       panel.add(users[i].image);
       users[i].image.addMouseListener(myClick);
       }

I know- it is totally wrong. I cannot obtain data about the certain user, because I get values from "selected", which contains only JLabel with image (no values for age or name). What should I do to get the name and age of the certain user?

There are several ways of achieving what you want to do. (I'm not entirely sure what this is, but I'm sure that there are several ways ;-)).

One interesting question might be who determines the bounds of the images / labels. Are they put into a panel that has a certain layout? When they are, for example, contained in a panel with a GridLayout then you can just compute the index of the image based on the "grid cell" that corresponds to a certain mouse position on the panel. If they are positioned freely (on a panel with null layout), then you might create a simple map like

class ImageMap<T> 
{
    private final Map<Rectangle2D, T> map;

    ImageMap()
    {
        map = new LinkedHashMap<Rectangle2D, T>();
    }

    public T get(double x, double y)
    {
        for (Entry<Rectangle2D, T> entry : map.entrySet())
        {
            Rectangle2D key = entry.getKey();
            if (key.contains(new Point2D.Double(x,y)))
            {
                return entry.getValue();
            }
        }
        return null;
    }

    void setBounds(T t, Rectangle2D r)
    {
        Rectangle2D copy = new Rectangle2D.Double(
            r.getX(), r.getY(), r.getWidth(), r.getHeight());
        map.put(copy, t);
    }
}

Then you can fill this map with the information from the users:

ImageMap<User> map = new ImageMap<User>();

List<User> users = ...;
for (User user : users)
{
    map.setBounds(user, user.getImage().getBounds());
}

And when you receive a mouse event, you can query this

    MouseEvent e = ...;
    User user = map.get(e.getX(), e.getY());

But whether this is appropriate really depends on your use-case. Maybe a JList with an appropriate CellRenderer would better suit your needs.
