JAVA BEANS API

JAVA BEAN API


• The Java Beans functionality is provided by a
set of classes and interfaces in the java.beans
package.
INTERFACES IN JAVA BEAN API
• Table lists the interfaces in java.beans and provides a brief
description of their functionality.
Interface Description

AppletInitializer Methods in this interface are used to initialize Beans that are
also applets.

BeanInfo This interface allows a designer to specify


information about the properties, events, and methods of a
Bean.

Customizer This interface allows a designer to provide a graphical user


interface through which a Bean may be configured.

DesignMode Methods in this interface determine if a Bean is executing in


design mode

ExceptionListener A method in this interface is invoked when an exception


has occurred
INTERFACES IN JAVA BEAN API
PropertyChangeListener A method in this interface is invoked when a bound
property is changed.
PropertyEditor Objects that implement this interface allow designers to
change and display property values

VetoableChangeListener A method in this interface is invoked when


a constrained property is changed.
Visibility Methods in this interface allow a Bean to execute
in environments where a graphical user interface is
not available.
CLASSES IN JAVA BEAN API
• Table lists the some of the classes in java.beans and provides
a brief description of their functionality.
CLASSES DESCRIPTION

BeanDescriptor This class provides information about a Bean. It also allows you
to associate a customizer with a Bean.

EventSetDescriptor Instances of this class describe an event that can be generated


by a Bean.

FeatureDescriptor This is the superclass of the PropertyDescriptor,


EventSetDescriptor, and MethodDescriptor classes.

IndexedPropertyDescriptor Instances of this class describe an indexed property of a Bean.

IntrospectionException An exception of this type is generated if a problem occurs


when analyzing a Bean
CLASSES IN JAVA BEAN API
Introspector This class analyzes a Bean and constructs a
BeanInfo object that describes the component.

MethodDescriptor Instances of this class describe a method of a Bean.

PropertyChangeEvent This event is generated when bound or constrained


properties are changed. It is sent to objects that
registered an interest in these events and
implement either the PropertyChangeListener or
VetoableChangeListener interfaces.

PropertyChangeSupport Beans that support bound properties can use this


class to notify PropertyChangeListener objects.
EXAMPLE PROGRAM FOR JAVABEAN API

package sunw.demo.colors;
import java.awt.*;
import java.beans.*;
public class IntrospectorDemo {
public static void main(String args[]) { try {
Class c = Class.forName("sunw.demo.colors.Colors");
BeanInfo beanInfo = Introspector.getBeanInfo(c);
BeanDescriptor beanDescriptor =
beanInfo.getBeanDescriptor();
EXAMPLE PROGRAM FOR JAVABEAN API

System.out.println("Bean name = " +


beanDescriptor.getName());
System.out.println("Properties:");
PropertyDescriptor propertyDescriptor[] =
beanInfo.getPropertyDescriptors();
for(int i = 0; i < propertyDescriptor.length; i++)
{ System.out.println("\t" +
propertyDescriptor[i].getName());
}
EXAMPLE PROGRAM FOR JAVABEAN API
EventSetDescriptor eventSetDescriptor[] =
beanInfo.getEventSetDescriptors();
for(int i = 0; i < eventSetDescriptor.length; i++)
{ System.out.println("\t" +
eventSetDescriptor[i].getName());
}
}
catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception caught. " + e);
}
}
}
Bean name = Colors
