Bean Extender General Information

Introduction

The Bean Extender technology provides a programming environment that focuses on tool enablement and the production of second-tier Java beans. The Bean Extender technology facilitates the creation of plug-n-play Java componentry. These Java components are tailored for the enterprise through the modification, extension, aggregation, scripting, management, packaging, and deployment of Java bean instances.

The Bean Extender technology enhances or extends the current JavaBeans design patterns to provide better tool support. The Bean Extender enhancements to Java beans include:

The Bean Extender technology provides miscellaneous tools that help Java developers and assemblers. The Data Input Wizard is a graphical user interface that allows Java developers and assemblers to create beans from encoded legacy data read from the input stream. The ExtraStuff package allows Java developers and assemblers to add collections of methods, properties, and events at runtime that can be used by other beans either through the use of dynamic APIs or by compiling them into new beans.
