Cursor style setting... Urgent please help...

Question

Hi,
I'll have to set the cursor style to a wait_cursor on click on a toolbar button which would open a dialog. The dialog takes sometime to open as it has to fetch data from the database and display. Here is the code snippet which I have..
// get the main frame and set the cursor style to waitcursor.
getApplicationFrame().setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
// Fetch datafrom the database.
// display information in the dialog and show dialog..
// reset the cursor style to Default.
getApplicationFrame().setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
The above code doesn't seem to work. Can anyone let me know the reason why..
Thanks in advance..

Here's the methods I use to do that:
public static void setWaitCursor() {
owner.setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
public static void setNoWaitCursor() {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
owner.setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
