Draw a rectangle with the corresponding size taken from a TextField

Question

I have got a program where someone enters a width and a length and it draws the corresponding size on a dialog.

The Scenario

Here is what happens. I start it up,

Then I press go:

And the dialogue comes up with nothing.

The code

So here is the event handling code:

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
d.init();
}

d is the class that shows the dialogue. I didn't think I would show it but all the init does is add a DrawRectangle panel to it (this is the DrawRectangle` class):

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class DrawRectangle extends JPanel{
   int x = 100;
    int y = 50;
    int h;
    int w ;

    private void Dodrawing(Graphics g, int w, int h, int x, int y){
        g2d.fillRect(x, y, w, h);
    }

    @Override
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
    {
        super.paintComponent(g);
        //Graphics, width, heigth, x coordinate, y coordinate
        Dodrawing(g, w, h, x, y);
    }
}

The question

Can I change the value of h and w to the values in the textfield and then update the drawing?

Edit

Here is an SSCCE:

Other tips

1. Use a consistent and logical indent for code blocks. The indentation of the code is intended to help people understand the program flow.
2. A single blank line of white space in source code is always enough.
3. Please learn common Java naming conventions (specifically the case used for the names) for class, method & attribute names & use them consistently.
4. Don't set the size of top level containers. Instead layout the content & call pack().
5. Java GUIs should be started & updated on the EDT.
6. Use a JSpinner instead of a text field when the app. requires numbers.

Answer 2

you have to do g.repaint() after g2d.fillRect(x,y,w,h)
