Contract Bridge In Java

Hi

I'm currently programming the card game contract bridge using java. I need a little help in checking whether the card exists in the deal.

I have created a RandomDeal class, where the cards are defined, a TestDeal class, where a deal is distributed and a BridgeApp class, where the methods are called and run.

Currently this is what I have got in the standard play method:
/**        Request input for card
            Check whether card exists
            If not, output error message
            If it does, play card **/

            System.out.println("SOUTH PLAY A CARD:");
            card = keyboardInput.readLine();

            switch (checkCard) {


            default:
            System.out.println("\n Error: YOU DO NOT HAVE THAT CARD " +
                                    card + "\n");
            }

            System.out.println("NORTH PLAY A CARD:");
            card = keyboardInput.readLine();

I know this is incomplete, but I cant seem to get my head round, how to check the RandomDeal class for validity.

coe would look something like this:

/** Request input for card
Check whether card exists
If not, output error message
If it does, play card **/

System.out.println("SOUTH PLAY A CARD:");
card = keyboardInput.readLine();
try {
RandomDeal.checkCard(card, 'S');
} catch (DealException de) {
System.out.println(de);
}
