Under Win32, it is best to set the cursor using a frame.  When I have a 
bean that needs to set the cursor, I call this static method I have in a 
"FZUtils" class:

 Cursor oldCursor = FZUtils.doSetCursor( 
                        Cursor.getPredefinedCursor( 
                           Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR ) );

  .
  .
  .
  FZUtils.doSetCursor( oldCursor );


  The code for implementing the above is:

  public static Cursor doSetCursor( Cursor cur, Container con ) {
    Frame parent = getFirstFrame(con);
    Cursor current = con.getCursor();
    if (parent != null ) {
      current = parent.getCursor();
      parent.setCursor( cur );
    }
    return current;
  }

  public static Frame getFirstFrame(Container con) {
    java.awt.Container cObj;
    Frame frameObj = null;
    for (cObj = con.getParent(); cObj != null; cObj = cObj.getParent()) {

      if (cObj instanceof Frame) {

         frameObj = (Frame)cObj;
         break;
      }

    }
    return frameObj;

  }
