Javabean 101, the first part
Date: February 14, 2001
JavaBean is a reusable software component written in Java language. The method of writing JavaBean components is the same as writing other Java classes. You can also use existing components, applet applets, or Java classes, and turn them into JavaBean.
This tutorial has two purposes, they are:
Talk about the basic method of creating JavaBeans. Explain the basic concepts included behind all JavaBeans, and demonstrate how these concepts are associated with actual programming techniques.
To learn this tutorial, you must install the following software:
Bean Development Kit (BDK) Javatm 2, Standard Edition (J2SETM), Version 1.3
Install according to the installation guidelines accompanying these programs.
This tutorial does not replace JavaBean standards, but it provides a detailed example and guidance step to help you build and use JavaBean. While using this tutorial, you can read the relevant chapters related to the standard. You may be able to find that learning the source code of these examples provided by BDK will be helpful.
Definition: What is Bean?
If you use software development tools such as Delphi or Visual Basic, then you have already had the concept of bean. JavaBean is a reusable software component written in Java language. It can be created by constructing a visual manner. A JavaBean is usually referred to as bean.
Software components are self-contained, reusable software units. By using visualized application build tools, software components can be embedded in Applets applets, applications, servlets, and composite components. You can perform this combination under a graphical user interface, and immediately see the results of the combination.
