JavaBeansJavaBeans are reuseable software components that are written in Java. The component is a piece of program code that provides a well-defined, functional unit, which can be as small as a label for a button on a window or as large as an entire application. JavaBeans can be either visual or nonvisual components. Non-visual JavaBeans still have a visual representation, such as an icon or a name, to allow visual manipulation. Many AS/400 Toolbox for Java classes are also JavaBeans. These classes were built to Javasoft JavaBean standards; they function as reuseable components. The properties and methods for an AS/400 Toolbox for Java JavaBean are the same as the properties and methods of the class. For a list of AS/400 Toolbox for Java JavaBeans, see JavaBean classes. JavaBeans can be used within an application program or they can be visually manipulated in builder tools, such as the IBM VisualAge for Java product. Examples
