Problem in generating the border of a rectangle in Java?

I am using java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D.Double class to generate a rectangle. I want to generate a rectangle which is filled with a color (say green) and have a border (outline).

Now the problem is if I call

g2.draw(new Rectangle2D.Double(....)); // g2 is an instance of Graphics2D

then it doesn't fill the rectangle and when I call

g2.fill(new Rectangle2D.Double(....)); // g2 is an instance of Graphics2D

then id doesn't generate border.

To do this, render the rectangle twice, first the fill and then the border (draw).

Rectangle2D rect = new Rectangle2D.Double(...);
g2.setColor(Color.white);
g2.fill(rect);
g2.setColor(Color.black);
g2.draw(rect);
