Description
  Contains classes related to developing beans -- components based on the JavaBeansTM architecture.
See also:   
AppletInitializer View Source This interface is designed to work in collusion with java.beans.Beans.instantiate.
BeanDescriptor View Source A BeanDescriptor provides global information about a "bean", including its Java class, its displayName, etc.
BeanInfo View Source A bean implementor who wishes to provide explicit information about their bean may provide a BeanInfo class that implements this BeanInfo interface and provides explicit information about the methods, properties, events, etc, of their bean.
Beans View Source This class provides some general purpose beans control methods.
ConstructorProperties View Source An annotation on a constructor that shows how the parameters of that constructor correspond to the constructed object's getter methods.
Customizer View Source A customizer class provides a complete custom GUI for customizing a target Java Bean.
DefaultPersistenceDelegate View Source The DefaultPersistenceDelegate is a concrete implementation of the abstract PersistenceDelegate class and is the delegate used by default for classes about which no information is available.
DesignMode View Source This interface is intended to be implemented by, or delegated from, instances of java.beans.beancontext.BeanContext, in order to propagate to its nested hierarchy of java.beans.beancontext.BeanContextChild instances, the current "designTime" property.
Encoder View Source An Encoder is a class which can be used to create files or streams that encode the state of a collection of JavaBeans in terms of their public APIs.
EventHandler View Source The EventHandler class provides support for dynamically generating event listeners whose methods execute a simple statement involving an incoming event object and a target object.
EventSetDescriptor View Source An EventSetDescriptor describes a group of events that a given Java bean fires.
ExceptionListener View Source An ExceptionListener is notified of internal exceptions.
Expression View Source An Expression object represents a primitive expression in which a single method is applied to a target and a set of arguments to return a result - as in "a.getFoo()".
FeatureDescriptor View Source The FeatureDescriptor class is the common baseclass for PropertyDescriptor, EventSetDescriptor, and MethodDescriptor, etc.
IndexedPropertyChangeEvent View Source An "IndexedPropertyChange" event gets delivered whenever a component that conforms to the JavaBeans specification (a "bean") changes a bound indexed property.
IndexedPropertyDescriptor View Source An IndexedPropertyDescriptor describes a property that acts like an array and has an indexed read and/or indexed write method to access specific elements of the array.
IntrospectionException View Source Thrown when an exception happens during Introspection.
Introspector View Source The Introspector class provides a standard way for tools to learn about the properties, events, and methods supported by a target Java Bean.
MethodDescriptor View Source A MethodDescriptor describes a particular method that a Java Bean supports for external access from other components.
ParameterDescriptor View Source The ParameterDescriptor class allows bean implementors to provide additional information on each of their parameters, beyond the low level type information provided by the java.lang.reflect.Method class.
PersistenceDelegate View Source The PersistenceDelegate class takes the responsibility for expressing the state of an instance of a given class in terms of the methods in the class's public API.
PropertyChangeEvent View Source A "PropertyChange" event gets delivered whenever a bean changes a "bound" or "constrained" property.
PropertyChangeListener View Source A "PropertyChange" event gets fired whenever a bean changes a "bound" property.
PropertyChangeListenerProxy View Source A class which extends the EventListenerProxy specifically for adding a named PropertyChangeListener.
PropertyChangeSupport View Source This is a utility class that can be used by beans that support bound properties.
PropertyDescriptor View Source A PropertyDescriptor describes one property that a Java Bean exports via a pair of accessor methods.
PropertyEditor View Source A PropertyEditor class provides support for GUIs that want to allow users to edit a property value of a given type.
PropertyEditorManager View Source The PropertyEditorManager can be used to locate a property editor for any given type name.
PropertyEditorSupport View Source This is a support class to help build property editors.
PropertyVetoException View Source A PropertyVetoException is thrown when a proposed change to a property represents an unacceptable value.
SimpleBeanInfo View Source This is a support class to make it easier for people to provide BeanInfo classes.
Statement View Source A Statement object represents a primitive statement in which a single method is applied to a target and a set of arguments - as in "a.setFoo(b)".
VetoableChangeListener View Source A VetoableChange event gets fired whenever a bean changes a "constrained" property.
VetoableChangeListenerProxy View Source A class which extends the EventListenerProxy specifically for associating a VetoableChangeListener with a "constrained" property.
VetoableChangeSupport View Source This is a utility class that can be used by beans that support constrained properties.
Visibility View Source Under some circumstances a bean may be run on servers where a GUI is not available.
XMLDecoder View Source The XMLDecoder class is used to read XML documents created using the XMLEncoder and is used just like the ObjectInputStream.
XMLEncoder View Source The XMLEncoder class is a complementary alternative to the ObjectOutputStream and can used to generate a textual representation of a JavaBean in the same way that the ObjectOutputStream can be used to create binary representation of Serializable objects.
