JScrollPane with Components?

Question

hey guys, im writing a program and I have a JScrollPane and i want to have multiple JTextFields and radio buttons in it that work with the scroll pane so you can type something in on lets say field 1 and then scroll down to field 15 and type something into that one. is this possible? so far ive gotten them to show up in the scroll pane but the scroll bar doesnt even appear. ive tried setting the policy to ALWAYS but that little scroll block doesnt appear, only the bar itself thus making any fields below the windows bounds unaccessable. Any idea how to get this working?

run this the 3 times to see the differences
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
class Testing extends JFrame
  JPanel p = new JPanel(new GridLayout(0,1));
  JScrollPane sp = new JScrollPane(p);
  public Testing()
    setSize(600,400);
    setLocation(200,100);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    for(int x = 0; x < 50; x++)
       p.add(new JLabel("Hello World"));
    //sp.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500,300));//test without this line, then with the line
    JPanel p1 = new JPanel();
    p1.add(sp);
    getContentPane().add(p1);
    getContentPane().add(sp);//comment out this line, uncomment above block
  public static void main(String[] args){new Testing().setVisible(true);}
}
