Painting (Updating) one layer

Dear all,

---The problem---
I could not paint (update) OMGraphicList objects

---How i m working---
I´ve created a layer that listens to a TCP/IP port. ie:
      socket = new Socket(address, PORTNUM);
      isr = new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream());
      in = new BufferedReader(isr);
The layer implements Runnable capabilities to keep listening the port "forever" while the openmap does everything else.
The run() method listens forever to a port and adds "x" to the graphics list. ie:
      graphics.addOMGraphic(createText(lat, lon, "X" , Color.yellow));
There is a server that sends lat lon points and the layer listen to that port
Every input streaming must be plotted.

---What s happening---
The graphic objects are being plotted only when there is an update on screen (zoom, pan).

--How to solve the problem---
What should i do to plot the "x" without needing to refresh screen?

--The environment--
I m using Win2k, JDK1.3.1, NetBeans IDE 3.2, OpenMap 3.6.2

Thanks for the attention,
