Question

 public JTextArea getTxaTicket() {
    return txaTicket;
}

public void setTxaTicket(JTextArea txaTicket) {
    this.txaTicket = txaTicket;
}

Answer 1

I really think you should set and get only the content of the JTextArea. Not the JTextArea it self.

public String getTxaTicket() {
    return txaTicket.getText();
}

public void setTxaTicket(String txaTicket) {
    this.txaTicket.setText(txaTicket);
}
