setCursor to JFrame doesn't work...

import java.awt.BorderLayout;

import java.awt.Container;

import java.awt.Cursor;

import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;

import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

import java.awt.event.KeyAdapter;

import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;

import java.awt.event.KeyListener;

import java.io.IOException;

import javax.swing.JEditorPane;

import javax.swing.JFrame;

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

import javax.swing.JScrollPane;

import javax.swing.JTextField;

import javax.swing.event.HyperlinkEvent;

import javax.swing.event.HyperlinkListener;

public class ReadServerFile extends JFrame {

JTextField jTextField;

JEditorPane jEditorPane;

public ReadServerFile() {

Container container = getContentPane();

jTextField = new JTextField("Enter file URL here");

jTextField.addActionListener( new ActionListener() {

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {

// this is amazing discovery, getActionCommand

// get Keyboard function information

getThePage(e.getActionCommand());

}

});

container.add(jTextField, BorderLayout.NORTH);

jEditorPane = new JEditorPane();

jEditorPane.setEditable(false);

jEditorPane.addHyperlinkListener(new HyperlinkListener() {

public void hyperlinkUpdate(HyperlinkEvent e) {

if (e.getEventType() == HyperlinkEvent.EventType.ACTIVATED) {

getThePage(e.getURL().toString());

}

}

});

container.add(new JScrollPane(jEditorPane), BorderLayout.CENTER);

setSize(400, 300);

setVisible(true);

}

private void getThePage(String location) {

setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));

try {

jEditorPane.setPage(location);

jTextField.setText(location);

} catch (IOException e) {

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Error Retrieving specified URL",

"Bad URL", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

e.printStackTrace();

}

//this.setCursor( Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));

}

/**

* @param args

*/

public static void main(String[] args) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

ReadServerFile application = new ReadServerFile();

application.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

}

}

This is the code. Several Times I changed it the part at getThePage() method. Try cut and paste. I don't need to see the Tag formatt for this.

If you are trying to display a wait cursor while loading the page, then you should use a GlassPane and add the wait cursor to the glass pane. The glass pane covers the entire frame. Otherwise you don't know which component the cursor is placed over so the cursor will change value depending on the component.
