problem with background image and buttons

Hi all,

i'm currently trying to design an interface for an hotel management system. The problem that i am getting is that i cant display my background picture and put four buttons on it.... I have succeeded only in displaying my background picture and having only a button displayed at the "south" border of the applet.

Can anyone help me out in solving this problem please?

Here is my code:

public static void main(String[]args)

{

JFrame frame=new JFrame("Super Hotels");

Container contentPane=frame.getContentPane();

Icon icon=new ImageIcon ("laplaya.jpg","Super Hotels");

JLabel lab=new JLabel(icon);

JScrollPane pane=new JScrollPane(lab);

contentPane.add(pane);

JButton b1=new JButton("Hotel Management");

b1.setToolTipText("Click here for Hotel Management!");

frame.setSize(550,400);

frame.show();

}
