Placing Blocks with Data Values (anvils)

I am trying to make something that limits anvil usage on a server and was wondering how to place a damaged anvil.

Code:java

dropArea.get(random).setTypeIdAndData(Material.ANVIL.getId(), (byte)1, true);

I have tried that and other variations of that, but none work. I am able to give players broken anvils but I am unable to place them . If anyone could help please give me a hint towards the right method or post some code.

Thanks in advance...

To whoever helps me ;p.
