    this.setTitle("Filtre CAO");
    this.setName("frmFCAO");
    this.setContentPane([u]getJContentPane</u>());
    }

private javax.swing.JPanel [u]getJContentPane</u>() {
    if (jContentPane == null) {
    jContentPane = new javax.swing.JPanel();
    jContentPane.setLayout(null);
        ...
        JButton b1 = new JButton("chercher");
        b1.addActionListener (new ActionListener() {
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
           ...... processing ......
           jList1 = new JList(....);

             here , HOW TO REFRESH ????
                                     });

        .....
        jContentPane.add(getJScrollPane(), null);
    }
    return jContentPane;


........

private javax.swing.JScrollPane getJScrollPane() {
if(jScrollPane == null) {
    jScrollPane = new javax.swing.JScrollPane();
    jList1 = new JList(........);
    jScrollPane.setViewportView(jList1);
    jScrollPane.setBounds(25, 34, 299, 129);
    jScrollPane.setSize(269, 134);
    jScrollPane.setLocation(17, 49);
        }
        return jScrollPane;
                                            }

The methods revalidate() and repaint() in JComponent should 'refresh'.

validate = resizes the container if the component in it changes size.
repaint = redraws the component/container.

This worked for me:
You need to refresh the main panel that holds all the other panels

mainPanel.validate();
mainPanel.repaint();

your jContentPane might work like this:
jContentPane.validate();
jContentPane.repaint();

I am just learning too so your not dealing with an expert. Let me know if it works.
