Swing GridBagLayout - Alignment issue

Question

I have a JPanel with a JLabel, JTextField and another JPanel with a JLabel in it.

    createDomainPanel = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
    GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints();
    //createDomainPanel.setSize(600, 300);
    gbc.fill=GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;


    gbc.gridx=0;
    gbc.gridy=0;
    createDomainPanel.add(new JLabel("Enter the name of the domain"), gbc);

    gbc.gridx=0;
    gbc.gridy=1;        
    createDomainPanel.add(domainName, gbc);

    JPanel result = new JPanel(new FlowLayout());
    result.add(successMessage);
    gbc.anchor=GridBagConstraints.LAST_LINE_START;
    gbc.gridx=0;
    gbc.gridy=2;
    createDomainPanel.add(result);

The last JLabel result prints a success message after a certain operation.

 public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        SimpleDbConnect dbc = new SimpleDbConnect();
        String name = "";
        if (e.getSource()==domainName){
            name=e.getActionCommand();
            boolean success = dbc.addDomain(name);
            if (success){
                successMessage.setText("Domain "+ name + " added successfully");
            }
        }

    }   

However the problem is when I do get a success response, the success message instead of being at the bottom appears at the right of the first JLabel. I'm pretty new to Swings. Can anyone help me out?

You forget to pass the constraints when adding the results panel

createDomainPanel.add(result, gbc);
