How do i change the cursor on a jtable header when clicked for sorting?

Question

here is my question, how do i change the cursor on a jtable header when I click the header for sorting?
I think it is suppose to be in the fragment of code where the header listener is implemented for sorting, but I'm not quite sure what is the exact component that holds everything so that i can change the cursor...
below is what I've tried, but it doesn't seem to work... thank you
public void addMouseListenerToHeaderInTable(JTable table) {
final TableSorter sorter = this;
final JTable tableView = table;
tableView.setColumnSelectionAllowed(false);
MouseAdapter listMouseListener = new
MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
TableColumnModel columnModel =
tableView.getColumnModel();
int viewColumn =
columnModel.getColumnIndexAtX(e.getX());
int column =
tableView.convertColumnIndexToModel
(viewColumn);
System.out.println("column = "+column);
if (e.getClickCount() == 1 && column != -1) {
System.out.println("Sorting ...");
Cursor oldCursor =
tableView.getRootPane().getCursor();
System.out.println("oldCursor.getType()
= "+oldCursor.getType());
if (oldCursor.getType() !=
Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR){
JComponent parentPane =
tableView.getRootPane();
parentPane.getContentPane().setCursor
(new Cursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
parentPane.setCursor(new Cursor
(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
Cursor newCursor =
parentPane.getCursor();
System.out.println("newCursor.getType
() = "+newCursor.getType());
int shiftPressed = e.getModifiers(
&InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK;
boolean ascending = (shiftPressed == 0);
//System.out.println("tableView.getRootPane()
is "+tableView.getRootPane().getRootPane());
sorter.sortByColumn(column, ascending);
tableView.getRootPane().setCursor(new Cursor
(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
//System.out.println("Done sorting");
JTableHeader th = tableView.getTableHeader();
th.addMouseListener(listMouseListener);
}

Hi,
Try setting the cursor for the table header.
table.getHeader().setCursor(Wait_Cursor);
