JavaBeans™ and Java Enterprise Server™ Platform
David Wadsworth · Auerbach Publications eBooks · 2021
A JavaBean is a reusable Java software component that visually can be manipulated and customized in a builder tool. These application building blocks are constructed so as to communicate easily with each other in a common environment. The Java computing environment with JavaBeans, a component technology and server architecture solution, Java Enterprise Server, enables organizations to simplify greatly access to business systems. This chapter describes the JavaBeans component model and an overview of the Java Enterprise Server platform. Changing the appearance and behavior of a JavaBean is accomplished through the customization features of the JavaBean’s API. Each JavaBean contains a list of exported properties, which an application builder can scan and use to create a GUI property editor sheet. JavaBeans are governed by the same security model as all other Java applets and applications. All of the benefits of rapid application development, scalability, robustness, and security of the JavaBeans component architecture are extended to the Java Enterprise server platform.
