Painting in Applets using another class

Question

hi all
I am trying the simplest of codes, using another class which paints something on the client area.
when I run it it does draw it on the screen but then disappears or is covered. ne suggestions or reasons why this might be happening...
the code is as follows
package test;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.Graphics2D.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
public class TestApp1 extends JApplet {
private Container container;
public Rectangle rect;
public CTest test1;
public Graphics g;
public void init()
container=getContentPane();
g=container.getGraphics();
Graphics2D g2=(Graphics2D)g;
test1=new CTest(false,g2);
public void run()
container.add(test1);
public void stop()
public void destroy()
package test;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.*;
public class CTest extends JPanel {
protected
Graphics2D m_graphics;
Rectangle m_PlotRect;          
public
CTest(boolean resizable,Graphics2D g)
m_graphics =g;
m_PlotRect=new Rectangle(150,50,50,50);          
void DrawAxis()
m_graphics.setBackground(Color.white);
m_graphics.setColor(Color.black);
m_graphics.drawRect(
(int)m_PlotRect.getMinX(),
(int)m_PlotRect.getMinY(),
(int)m_PlotRect.getWidth(),
(int)m_PlotRect.getHeight()
public void paint(Graphics g)
super.paint(g);
DrawAxis();
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
super.paintComponent(g);
DrawAxis();

thanx guys
i could solve the problem. thought its good to share it with every one in case some one else falls for the same trap.
what i did was tried to pass the Graphics object to my CTest class and then painted everything on the basis of that.
this is where the code gets freaky.
the correct way of doing it is not passing the graphics object to the CTest class but use the graphics object passed by the system to the paintcomponent function to do all the painting in the class.
I did that and it works well.
cheers
