ADVANTAGES OF JAVA BEANS

A software component architecture provides standard mechanisms to deal with
software building blocks. The following list enumerates some of the specific benefits
that Java technology provides for a component developer:
■ A Bean obtains all the benefits of Java’s “write-once, run-anywhere” paradigm.
■ The properties, events, and methods of a Bean that are exposed to an
application builder tool can be controlled.
■ A Bean may be designed to operate correctly in different locales, which makes it
useful in global markets.
■ Auxiliary software can be provided to help a person configure a Bean. This
software is only needed when the design-time parameters for that component
are being set. It does not need to be included in the run-time environment.
■ The configuration settings of a Bean can be saved in persistent storage and
restored at a later time.
■ A Bean may register to receive events from other objects and can generate
events that are sent to other objects.
