Java Beans are components that can be used to assemble a larger Java
application. Beans are classes that have properties, and can trigger events.
To define a property, a bean author provides accessor methods, that can get
and set the value of a property. A bean tool should inspect the class for
methods matching the get/set pattern, and allow you to modify the object's
properties.
public class MyFirstBean { private String name;
public MyFirstBean() { name = new String("MyFirstBean"); }
public String getName() { return name; }
public void setName( String newName ) { name = newName; }
}
This is a very simple bean, within minimal functionality. It triggers no
events, and has a single property, but does introduce you to the basics of
beans
