About The Book

Discover JavaBeans: the practical, secure way to build component software!

The JavaBeans API will be pivotal in helping companies transition from monolithic applications to secure collections of distributed, networked mini-applications. No Java API is more importantæor more exciting.

With JavaBeans Developer's Resource,you'll learn all you need to know to design, develop and use Java Componentsæstraight from a JavaBeans developer intimately familiar with both the Microsoft and Sun JavaBeans development environments.

Then, discover how JavaBeans goes far beyond previous component models. Learn about the customization and introspection routines that make JavaBeans components both powerful and seamless.

Walk step-by-step through the construction and reuse of JavaBeans components, using extensive examples, code samples, and several complete Beans components on CD-ROM. Learn to use the GUI Builder to assemble disparate Beans into applications or applets. Compare powerful visual development tools like Penumbra Software's Mojo and Symantec's Visual Caféæand learn how they can help you build JavaBeans without ever seeing source code.

JavaBeans Developer's Resource, will help you understand and make the most of JavaBeans networking, including RMI and CORBA. You'll learn how to integrate JavaBeans with ActiveX components. Finally, there's detailed coverage of how JavaBeans are already being used in the "real world" to enable powerful, secure applications that simply weren't possible before.
