Java Beans is the most important development in Java this year. It gives Java developers the ability to work with sophisticated graphical development tools and to integrate Java software into projects using other component technologies, such as Microsoft's ActiveX. Developing Java Beans gives you a firm grounding in every aspect of the Java Beans component architecture. You'll learn how to create components that can be manipulated by tools like Borland's JBuilder or IBM's VisualAge for Java, enabling others to build entire applications by using and reusing these building blocks. Beyond the basics, Developing Java Beans teaches you how to create Beans that can be saved and restored properly; how to take advantage of introspection to provide more information about a Bean's capabilities; how to provide property editors and customizers that manipulate a Bean in sophisticated ways; and how to integrate Java Beans into ActiveX projects. If you're a Java developer, you'll want to take advantage of Java's component architecture. Developing Java Beans gives you a comprehensive introduction to this exciting new technology.

Events, event listeners, and adapters
