A JavaBean is a reusable software component. JavaBeans are Java objects that use a standard "method" naming conventions. This gives them predictable behavior and makes tool-based manipulation easy.
The public features of JavaBeans are properties, methods, and events.
Properties are the parts of a JavaBean. They might be other Java objects, primitives. As we will see in the next slide, properties of JavaBeans are defined by pairs of public "getter" and "setter" methods.
A method is an action or service that the JavaBean can perform.
An event is a notification by the JavaBean that something of interest has happened.
In the next slides, we’ll give more details on bean functionality.
