StyledDocuments in Swing

[stormbind]

JTextPane a = new JTextPane();
DefaultStyledDocument b = new DefaultStyledDocument();
a.setDocument(b);

My application was working with an error. When I extended DefaultStyledDocument everything fell apart and it materialised that.. getStyledDocument() does not return b!

I cannot cast the returned StyledDocument to a DefaultStyledDocument (or its extended brother).

Can someone clarify why this is happening, and what needs to change?

Thanks.

Should you be doing ..

a.setStyledDocument(b);

??
