inheritance

I have an abstract entity:

public abstract class Entity extends JPanel implements FocusListener

And I have a TextEntity:

public class TextEntity extends Entity

Inside TextEntity's constructor I want to put a JTextArea that will cover the panel:

textArea = new JTextArea();
textArea.setSize(getWidth(),getHeight());
add(textArea);

But getWidth() and getHeight() returns 0. Is it a problem with the inheritance or the constructor?
