About Book

Amazon.com
Michael Morrison, the coauthor of How to Program JavaBeans, has written this very good one-book introduction to JavaBeans on his own. Presenting JavaBeans offers a clear assessment of JavaBeans at a conceptual level and lucid instructions on how to program with them.

The author begins with JavaBeans as a component model, along with other models like ActiveX and CORBA. He then proceeds to such JavaBeans basics as introspection, event handling, persistence, and even application builder support--a feature that allows Bean developers to add wizards to automate designing with JavaBeans. Morrison also discusses the architecture of a Bean, which is useful since a Bean is not just a collection of application program interfaces (APIs). He examines the basics of the structure of JavaBeans as well as JAR files. The author also recognizes that, until our tools mature, Beans will still need to be hand-coded. He presents code for actual working Beans for a "fancy" button, a meter bar, and an audio player Bean, which also demonstrates how you can work with multimedia within JavaBeans.

The books round out with a handy quick reference to common JDK 1.1 API. Presenting JavaBeans succeeds in providing a lot of information clearly, without getting weighted down in too many specifics.

From Library Journal
Programming on the Internet is not a simple task, but, for precisely that reason, it is very lucrative. The main Internet programming languages are VisualBasic and Perl for managing the common gateway interface and Java for the interactive innovations of the future. ActiveX and JavaBeans are competing standards for developing extended reusable programming components that can help save time and money for designers working in all three languages. ActiveX is supported by Microsoft; JavaBeans is supported by everything else. There is currently no indication of what the winner will be, so users of advanced computing collections will be needing to check out all these titles.

From the Publisher
JavaBeans allows Web publishers and developers to write re-usable components once and then run them anywhere. This guide, loaded with real-world programming examples, is a solid introduction to this new compact platform-neutral component architecture. With this book, users will learn what JavaBeans is, how it relates to existing component technologies, and how it will affect the Web. - Extensive coverage of the basics of component software; the JavaBeans API; the creation of JavaBeans; and the integration of JavaBeans with other component models, including ActiveX, LiveConnect, RMI, and COBRA

- CD-ROM includes Sun's Java Developer's Kit for Windows 95, Windows NT, Macintosh, and Solaris; Sun's Beans Development Kit, and the complete source code for four JavaBeans components
