Cursor not changing

Question

Hi
After I edit a cell of a JTable , a JOptionPane of type
showConfirmDialog pops up, to give the user a choice
to save the changes to the database.
When I click Yes,the changes are commited in the database and a
message is displayed that the changes were commited.
My Problem is
When I click the yes button in the JOptionPane, I am trying to change the cursor type to a WAIT_CURSOR, to last till the success msg from the database is displayed.But the cursor is not changing to the WAIT_CURSOR.
My Code is
int selec = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null,
"Do you wish to save changes ?"
"Table name",
JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION );
if(selec == 0)
// None of these methods to change cursor are working
myPanel.setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
OR
setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
OR
setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
try
// Call a file that commits the changes to the Database
new set_di_details(param1,param2....);
catch(java.sql.SQLException e){       }
else
// Do not commit the changes
Any help is appreciated

sharath25,
Try setting the cursor on the glass pane of the main frame that your table resides in. For instance...
// Set the cursor on the glasspane of the overall frame (this will also block
// all user interaction until the process is complete.
Component glass = {frame reference}.getGlassPane();
glass.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
glass.setVisible(true);Your database code would go here...
// ...when completed the cursor is returned to normal and the glass pane
// hidden (allowing the user to interact again).
glass.setCursor(null);  // uses default system cursor.
glass.setVisible(false);Of course, this should be done in the same thread that your database code executes in or it will instantly turn itself off.
