JScrollPane is not scrollable in JFrame

Question

I am using this code to add a scroll panel in my JFrame

JScrollPane pane = new JScrollPane(getContentPane(),
    JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS, 
    JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED);
this.setContentPane(pane);

I can view the scroll-bar but it is not scrollable even after resizing the window.

How else can I add my already created jframe to a scroll panel — Syeda Zunaira, Nov 14 '14 at 10:50
I guess this is good reason not to add your content directly to the frame, but instead add the core UI to something like a `JPanel` and then add that to the frame...or in chunks there in, but that's me... — MadProgrammer, Nov 14 '14 at 10:52
but I did, :( and I cant start it from the initial stage again:( — Syeda Zunaira, Nov 14 '14 at 10:54

use this code it worked for me

    container.setSize(1800, 1500);
    container.setVisible(true);



    container.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(900, 900));
    JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(container);  
    scrollPane.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);  
    scrollPane.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);  

    add(scrollPane);
