jPanel background image help!

Hi, i have a simple applet with two jPanel components. I use the first one to display a background image for the whole applet, and is working quite nicely. Inside this jPanel i have some buttons, labels, jTable, etc. and all is working fine. The problem is that i have a secondary jPanel in which i also need to display an image (much smaller that the background of the applet) but i cannot manage to get it drawn in the screen. Here is the sample code i am using:

jPanel1 = new javax.swing.JPanel() {
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
g.drawImage(background,0,0,this);

}
};

jPanel2 = new javax.swing.JPanel(){
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) { g.drawImage(coverArt.getScaledInstance(100,100,Image.SCALE_DEFAULT),0,0,this);
}
};

The result is that im having the image of the first jPanel always drawn but i cannot see the image in the second jPanel at all. Any ideas?
Thanks!

"gpedraza," when you logged on you appear to have missed the naming policy which requires first name-space-last name. We do actually insist on that, so please go to "my profile" and correct your displayed name to comply.
