I created a JList which is updating automatically after each active session...
I want to get the name of the selected item in that JList to a JOptionPane.showMessageDialog();

I tried like this ...

int i = userList.getSelectedIndex();
JOPitonPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Username: "+ (userList.getModel().getElementAt(i)));

but this is not working.
Can anyone help me....

Ok then I would simply say...
I have created a JList and there are 5 items in it....
once I click one of the item and press a jButton I want to get a messageBox showing name of the selected item.
Please Help me!!!!

add a ListSelectionListener to the JList. Call the list's getSelectedIndex(), when clicked, then print the toString() of the selected index of the array which backs your jlist.
