The problem is with java.awt.TextArea.TextArea(String text, int rows, int columns, int scrollbars):

Gauri is Gauri.Sharma@Eng

The spec (javadoc) was ambiguous, but now reads:


     * Any other value for the
     * <code>scrollbars</code> argument is invalid and will result in
     * this text area being created with scrollbar visibility equal to
     * the default value of {@link #SCROLLBARS_BOTH}.
