JNLP copy/paste with Swing components

Question

I have a simple JNLP application. When a window pops open asking for permission use the System clipboard I click "Yes". In the main-class file I call the following static function to initialize my Clipboard service:
public class FDW_Application {....
public static ClipboardService cs;
public static void setupClipboardService(){
try {cs = (ClipboardService)ServiceManager.lookup  ("javax.jnlp.ClipboardService");}
catch (UnavailableServiceException e) {
     FDW_Application.debugwindow(e.getMessage());
     cs = null;
Next, I use the following code to copy a string into the system clipboard
java.awt.datatransfer.StringSelection s = new java.awt.datatransfer.StringSelection (selectedValue.toString());
FDW_Application.cs.setContents(s);
myeditor.requestFocus();          
int caret_pos = myeditor.getCaretPosition ();
Next, I try to use the "Paste" function in swing to put the text into the control.
myeditor.paste(); /*myeditor is a JTextPane */
However, nothing shows up in the control.
When I close down the application and go to notepad I can paste the value into notepad.
How do I get the Paste function to use a specific clipboard?

Thanks, I looked at the sample you have. I changed my
program from using the .Paste() to the
replaceSelection and it works nicely now. However, I
still wasn't able to get the paste working. It works OK here, for pasting plain text to that
component type, using the second data flavor
in the flavors list. I could not be bothered hard
coding it, and felt it more useful to demonstrate
that data has (many) flavors.
..i thought
it should work but your workaround ..Note they are not workarounds, but examples of
using the JNLP API. I would prefer that the JNLP
functionalities could be used 'seamlesly' with the
J2SE methods that do the same things, but I guess
that is not practical.
..(and the other
examples you have) are very useful.Glad to be of help.
