Java – recursively find the object and return null after finding it

I have created a recursive method to find jcomponents by name This method looks for the correct component, but it returns null I guess I didn't handle the return of the component and return null correctly How can I work normally?

Editor: instead, I understand from the comments below But it does not return components

public Component findComponent(String str,Component tt){   

    for (Component c : ((Container) tt).getComponents()) {
        System.out.println("name: " + c.getName());
        if(c.getName().equals(str)){
            System.out.println("Found it! " + c.getName());
            return c;
        } else {
            return findComponent(str,c);
        }
    }   
    return null;
}

This will stop immediately One component has no component, so I guess it will stop immediately and return null?

If I delete the return value from findcomponent (STR, c); The console gives:

name: titel
name: l
name: jpj
name: jtx
name: jpath
Found it! jpath
name: knapper
name: k1
name: n1
name: k2
name: n2
name: k3
name: n3
name: jpp
name: text
name: jpe
name: ta

Title is a title that does not contain any components Is this a new question?

Solution

Your other blocks should be:

else {
  Component sub = findComponent(str,c);
  if (sub != null) return sub;
}

Otherwise, you will only check your first component, only its first sub component, and only the first sub component, and so on
