textarea java,Java Textarea ScrollPane

I have created a textarea, and i need a scrollbar applied to the textarea when necessary (when the text gets too long down and it cant be read anymore).

this is the code i have written, but for some reason, the scrollbar doesnt really come up?

final JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea();

textArea.setEditable(false);

textArea.setBounds(10, 152, 456, 255);

textArea.setBorder(border);

textArea.setLineWrap(true);

sbrText = new JScrollPane(textArea);

sbrText.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED);

panel_1.add(textArea);

解决方案

You have to remove the code line that makes the JTextArea have absolute size on the screen due to using setBounds(). This makes it non-resizable, and JScrollPane works only if its content is resizable.

// wrong

textArea.setBounds(10, 152, 456, 255);

Please read JTextArea and JScrollPane tutorial; please run examples from both tutorials.
