Displaying JDialog box in front of all windows

Question

Hi guys,
I am trying to display a Dialog box with some error message.
I did it using the following code
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class JDialog_test {
     public static void main(String args[])
          Frame oframe=new Frame("JDialog Error Message");
          JDialog odialog=new JDialog(oframe,"Praveen",true);
          odialog.setModal(true);
          System.out.println("the modal is set as "+odialog.isModal());
          //odialog.setAlwaysOnTop(true);
          odialog.setVisible(true);
          System.out.println("In displayable is set as "+odialog.isDisplayable());
          odialog.toFront();
When i run the above code, a dialog box is created successfully.
But the problem is the dialog box is not displayed in front of all screens.
Also the dialog box disappears when i open another window.
Now what i require is???
->the dialog box should be displayed on top of all the windows
->as long as the dialog box is not closed , i should not be able to access other windows
Please don put the setModal() method as solution, it isnt working.
Also i want the solution to be compatible with only java 1.4 compiler.
Please get back with solutions.

import java.awt.Dimension;
import javax.swing.*;
public class JDialog_test {
     public static void main(String args[])
          JFrame jframe=new JFrame("JFrame");
          jframe.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          jframe.setVisible(true);
          jframe.setSize(new Dimension(200,300));
          JDialog jdialog=new JDialog(jframe,"JDialog",true);
          jdialog.setModal(true);
          jdialog.setSize(new Dimension(100,200));
          jframe.setVisible(true);
          jdialog.setAlwaysOnTop(true); //<-- here's the trick..
          jdialog.setModal(true);
          jdialog.setVisible(true);
          jdialog.toFront();
}
