Developing Java Beans gives you a firm grounding in every aspect of the JavaBeans component architecture. You'll learn how to create components that can be manipulated by tools like Borland's JBuilder or IBM's VisualAge for Java, enabling others to build entire applications by using and reusing these building blocks. Beyond the basics, Developing Java Beans teaches you how to create Beans that can be saved and restored properly, how to take advantage to introspection to provide more information about a Bean's capabilities, how to provide property editors and customizers that manipulate a Bean in sophisticated ways, and how to integrate Java Beans into ActiveX projects.
