Why complicate things with different Room and Corridor classes? Whats the difference between rooms and corridors really? Scrap MapSite and merge it with Corridor in the Room class. Keep your hashtable or arraylist for links between different rooms. Doors should be easy, create yourself a Door class and use it as an intermediate node inbetween Rooms instead of linking then directly.

now i have create new class:-
interface MapSite
Room implements MapSite
Door implements Mapsite
FullMap
SiteFactory

and there is a class called Player, it is used to create a player and with a attribute "curposition" to store which Room player is in.

and i use a jframe to show this with a label
but i found that when my player go to another room, the label cannot be update...just remain the same.
what is is problem??
should i use observer pattern in different panel in order to update when the player do something.?
