Custom Jtree Cell Renderer goes to infinite loopp...any suggestion???

Question

Hey ...thanks for you help before....
Another problem..
My Jtree works fine with default Cell Renderer .. but goes to infinite
loop with CustomDefaultRenderer after few minutes...
Any suggestions....
    public DynamicTree() {
        super(new GridLayout(1,0));
        rootNode = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("POSTINGS & SEARCHES");
        treeModel = new DefaultTreeModel(rootNode);
        treeModel.addTreeModelListener(new MyTreeModelListener());
        tree = new JTree(treeModel);
        tree.setEditable(false);
        tree.getSelectionModel().setSelectionMode
                (TreeSelectionModel.SINGLE_TREE_SELECTION);
        tree.setShowsRootHandles(true);
  //      tree.addMouseListener(ml);
  //      tree.addKeyListener(kl);
        JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(tree);
        add(scrollPane);
        //          tree.setCellRenderer();
        tree.addTreeSelectionListener(new TreeSelectionListener(){
            public void valueChanged(TreeSelectionEvent evt){
                System.out.println("Tree's lead selection path is " +
                        tree.getLeadSelectionPath());
        tree.setCellRenderer( new CustomDefaultRenderer());              
public class CustomDefaultRenderer extends DefaultTreeCellRenderer {
    String suffix = null ;
    String prefix = null ;
    boolean expired = false;
    boolean matched = false ;
    PostingHandler pHandler = new PostingHandler();
    public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(
            JTree tree,
            Object value,
            boolean sel,
            boolean expanded,
            boolean leaf,
            int row,
            boolean hasFocus) {
        super.getTreeCellRendererComponent(
                tree, value, sel,
                expanded, leaf, row,
                hasFocus);
        suffix = (String)value.toString() ;
        try {
            prefix = value.toString().substring(0,value.toString().indexOf(":") + 1);
            suffix = suffix.substring(suffix.indexOf(":")+1,suffix.length());
            System.out.println("Prefix:"+prefix +"\tSufix :"+suffix);
        }catch (Exception e){System.out.println("Nothing to index yet" + e);}
        //    value = (Object)suffix;
        if(pHandler.newPostingsMatch.contains(prefix)) {
     //            if(hasFocus){pHandler.removePostingMatch(prefix);}               
                     setBackgroundNonSelectionColor(Color.CYAN);
        }else
            setBackgroundNonSelectionColor(Color.WHITE);
        System.out.println("Other <>values:\tValue" + value.toString() + "\tSEL:"+sel +"\tExpanded:" + "\tLEAF:"+leaf +
                "\tRow:" +row + "\tfocus:"+hasFocus );
        return this;
    public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
        System.out.println("Paint is called");
        //g.drawLine(0, 0, 100, 100);
        if(expired){
            g.drawLine(22, 11, 100,11);
        g.drawString(suffix, 22,15);
        validate();
        repaint();
}

Figured it out right after this post :)
I had to do the following in my cellrenderer
setBackgroundNonSelectionColor(new Color(0, 0, 0, 0));As a parameter I sent a color object with a alpha level of 0 (completly transparent)...
