Seems to work just fine here*, I guess the
problem is in the code you did not show
us. In these situations, I suggest preparing
an SSCCE - that way, it is easy to see what
is going wrong.

For more details on the SSCCE, see..
<http://www.physci.org/codes/sscce.html>

* Example code..
<sscce>
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

class FocusLocation
   extends JFrame
   implements FocusListener {

   JTextField field1 = new JTextField("Field 1");
   JTextField field2 = new JTextField("Field 2");
   JTextArea ta = new JTextArea( "Area 1",10,20);

   FocusLocation() {
      super("Focus Location");

      Container c = getContentPane();
      c.setLayout(new BorderLayout());

      JPanel rhs = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());

      JPanel textFields = new
         JPanel(new GridLayout(0,1));
      textFields.add(field1);
      field1.addFocusListener(this);
      textFields.add(field2);
      field2.addFocusListener(this);

      JSplitPane rhsSplit = new JSplitPane(
         JSplitPane.VERTICAL_SPLIT,
         new JLabel("Label 1"),
         textFields
         );

      ta.addFocusListener(this);
      JSplitPane sp1 = new JSplitPane(
         JSplitPane.HORIZONTAL_SPLIT,
         ta,
         rhsSplit
         );
      c.add( sp1, BorderLayout.CENTER );

      pack();
      setDefaultCloseOperation(
         JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
      setLocationRelativeTo(null);
   }

   public void focusLost(FocusEvent fe) {
   }

   public void focusGained(FocusEvent fe) {
      Component c = fe.getComponent();
      System.out.println(
         c.getLocation() +
         " has focus: " +
         c.hasFocus());
      examineFocus();
   }

   public void examineFocus() {
      System.out.println( "Area 1: \t" +
         ta.hasFocus() );
      System.out.println( "Field 1: \t" +
         field1.hasFocus() );
      System.out.println( "Field 2: \t" +
         field2.hasFocus() );
   }

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      FocusLocation fl = new FocusLocation();
      fl.setVisible( true );
   }
}
