Does the shape move? If not the problem may be that your
code to move the rectangle isn't really moving the rectangle.
In which case the canvas will decide that nothing had changed so
there is nothing to redraw.

Then something must be broken because there is nothing
else to do. I've looked over your code and nothing really
obvious jumps out at me, but I have commented on some possible
problem code below.

This is potentially bad you should add the Canvas pack the
window and then set the Document. Otherwise there is a chance
that the document will do a wasted rendering at "zero" size.

This is probably flailing on your part but I think this
is wrong, since you have added the canvas as a child of the Applet
Swing should ensure that it gets painted. I'm not sure what the
impact of adding this call would be...

This might be your problem. You should get the Document from the
Canvas rather than remember the document you passed to the canvas. In
some cases the canvas has to clone the document passed to it so that it
is using our DOM Implementation. I would think that your parsing code
would generate a DOM that passes this test but if not this could explain
your problems (you are changing rectDoc, but the canvas is displaying a
separate document cloned from rectDoc).
