Meaning – The term JavaBeans, refers to the platform-independent, software component technology for building reusable Java components called i?beans.i? Once built, these beans can be made available for use by other software engineers or can be used in Java applications. Also, using JavaBeans, software engineers can manipulate and assemble beans in a graphical drag-and-drop development environment.
According to Java white paper, it is a reusable software component. A bean encapsulates many objects into one object so that we can access this object from multiple places. Moreover, it provides easy maintenance.
Example of usage – “A JavaBean property is a named feature that can be accessed by the user of the object. The feature can be of any Java data type, containing the classes that you define.”
