Window works, fullscreen does not

Question

Hi.
I wrote a class representing a surface to do drawing operations on. It can display as a Window and in fullscreen. So the constructor is the really only method different from the rest of my aplication.
But still, it doesnt work right:
public Playground(int x, int y, int width, int height, String title,
GraphicsDevice device) {
            super(title);
            setSize(width, height);
            setLocation(x, y);
            setVisible(true);
            setLayout(new BorderLayout());
            surface = new Canvas(device.getDefaultConfiguration());
            surface.setSize(width, height);
            surface.addKeyListener(this);
            add("Center", surface);
            surface.createBufferStrategy(numBuffers);
            surface.requestFocus();
            //setVisible(true);
        public Playground(Dimension resolution, int colorDepth, GraphicsDevice
device) {
            super();    
            fullscreen = true;
            surface = new Canvas(device.getDefaultConfiguration());
            setLayout(new BorderLayout());
            add("Center", surface);
            surface.addKeyListener(this);
            thread = new Thread(this);
            this.device = device;
            try {
                setUndecorated(true);
                setIgnoreRepaint(true);
                device.setFullScreenWindow(this);
                surface.setSize((int)getWidth(), (int)getHeight());
                if (device.isDisplayChangeSupported())
                    device.setDisplayMode(new
DisplayMode((int)resolution.getWidth(), (int)resolution.getHeight(),
colorDepth, 0));
                surface.createBufferStrategy(numBuffers);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                System.out.println(e.toString() + "\n\n");
                e.printStackTrace();
                device.setFullScreenWindow(null);
            System.out.println("index: " + chosen);
            surface.requestFocus();
        } The main class calls at first the "window-constructor" and does some operations on the screen, drawing an image. It is alright and the image is displayed. Also the main class calls the fullscreen constructor and does exactly the same thing with my Playground as before with the window constructor. But only in the window the image is displayed. In fullscreen i really cant see anything. What�s wrong here?
Thx.

Answer 1

So, as i told no exception is thrown when i draw on the canvas, but unfortunately it has no effect in fullscreen. No operation is displayed in fullscreen. Only in the Window. No i changed my code a bit and drawed on the Frame directly, it works as well with the difference that also in fullscreen something is displayed. So i could be satisfied, it works, but:

The exception only occures once at the start of the aplication, even if that exception is thrown the whole aplication continues without any problems. What shall i do? Shall I ignore that exception? Because the aplication works, only that ugly exception disturbs.
