Bean Tools Overview

The Java programming language promises a good foundation for building lightweight, portable components that work in networked environments. Still, when you sit down to develop a new Java application you face a number of problems:

WebRunner Bean Tools includes Bean Works, a set of Java classes that define a component programming model (based on the model-view-controller paradigm) for easily creating Java programs. You extend these classes to build programs that can act as Java bean components, applets, or applications (these items are referred to generically as Java programs throughout this documentation).

The Bean Works classes are integrated with the WebRunner Bean Wizard and Bean Tester. The Bean Wizard helps you to easily generate basic code for your Bean Works components, and the Bean Tester lets you test and configure components. See the documentation for the Bean Wizard and the Bean Tester for more information.

· For a fast and easy introduction to getting a Bean Works-based Java bean up and running using the WebRunner Bean Wizard, see the Quickstart document. This also includes a quick reference to compiling and running your component code.

WebRunner Bean Tools builds on Javasoft's JDK 1.1.1, and runs with JDK 1.1.1 binaries and class files. See the Javasoft web page for documentation and more information on this version of the JDK.
