Thanks for your response to my question, Kishori.
Sorry, I forget to tell you one more thing:
In ManagerCommand, I have:

private static int base = 0;
public static final int SOME_NOTIFICATION = base++;

this "base++" caused my problem and I don't know how to get around of it. Since I have about 50 SOME_NOTIFICATION#, I hate to use if-else to handle them. I am using JDK1.3.
Thanks!
