A Walking Tour of JavaBeans

by Mark Johnson

JavaBeans is the component technology for the Java language. A JavaBean is a Java class that conforms to just a few simple rules. Existing class files can be converted into Beans (via subclassing or delegation) even if the source code for the class file is unavailable. In this talk, we'll look at specific Beans concepts: properties, events, event bindings, customization, and serialization. We'll also discuss the enabling Java 1.1 technologies (serialization and reflection) that make much of JavaBeans possible.

Directions:

101 South take the San Antonio North exit which will take you over the freeway. Go thought the light at Bayshore. Turn right on Casey Ave (very small sign), then make the next right on Marine Way, then left on Coast Ave. Go down to the end of Coast turn right into the parking lot at end of street. Building 6 will be the first one on the left. You can see the sign that says building 6 (it will be extremely obvious).

From 101 North take the San Antonio exit, and then turn right. Then the same directions as above.
