Classes in java.beans used by java.awt

PropertyChangeListener
A "PropertyChange" event gets fired whenever a bean changes a "bound" property.

PropertyChangeSupport
This is a utility class that can be used by beans that support bound properties.

PropertyVetoException
A PropertyVetoException is thrown when a proposed change to a property represents an unacceptable value.

VetoableChangeListener
A VetoableChange event gets fired whenever a bean changes a "constrained" property.

Classes in java.beans used by java.beans

AppletInitializer
This interface is designed to work in collusion with java.beans.Beans.instantiate.

BeanDescriptor
A BeanDescriptor provides global information about a "bean", including its Java class, its displayName, etc.

BeanInfo
A bean implementor who wishes to provide explicit information about their bean may provide a BeanInfo class that implements this BeanInfo interface and provides explicit information about the methods, properties, events, etc, of their bean.

Encoder
An Encoder is a class which can be used to create files or streams that encode the state of a collection of JavaBeans in terms of their public APIs.

EventSetDescriptor
An EventSetDescriptor describes a group of events that a given Java bean fires.

ExceptionListener
An ExceptionListener is notified of internal exceptions.

Expression
An Expression object represents a primitive expression in which a single method is applied to a target and a set of arguments to return a result - as in "a.getFoo()".

FeatureDescriptor
The FeatureDescriptor class is the common baseclass for PropertyDescriptor, EventSetDescriptor, and MethodDescriptor, etc.

IntrospectionException
Thrown when an exception happens during Introspection.

MethodDescriptor
A MethodDescriptor describes a particular method that a Java Bean supports for external access from other components.

ParameterDescriptor
The ParameterDescriptor class allows bean implementors to provide additional information on each of their parameters, beyond the low level type information provided by the java.lang.reflect.Method class.

PersistenceDelegate
The PersistenceDelegate class takes the responsibility for expressing the state of an instance of a given class in terms of the methods in the class's public API.

PropertyChangeEvent
A "PropertyChange" event gets delivered whenever a bean changes a "bound" or "constrained" property.

PropertyChangeListener
A "PropertyChange" event gets fired whenever a bean changes a "bound" property.

PropertyDescriptor
A PropertyDescriptor describes one property that a Java Bean exports via a pair of accessor methods.

PropertyEditor
A PropertyEditor class provides support for GUIs that want to allow users to edit a property value of a given type.

PropertyVetoException
A PropertyVetoException is thrown when a proposed change to a property represents an unacceptable value.

Statement
A Statement object represents a primitive statement in which a single method is applied to a target and a set of arguments - as in "a.setFoo(b)".

VetoableChangeListener
A VetoableChange event gets fired whenever a bean changes a "constrained" property.

Classes in java.beans used by java.beans.beancontext

BeanInfo
A bean implementor who wishes to provide explicit information about their bean may provide a BeanInfo class that implements this BeanInfo interface and provides explicit information about the methods, properties, events, etc, of their bean.

DesignMode
This interface is intended to be implemented by, or delegated from, instances of java.beans.beancontext.BeanContext, in order to propagate to its nested hierarchy of java.beans.beancontext.BeanContextChild instances, the current "designTime" property.

PropertyChangeEvent
A "PropertyChange" event gets delivered whenever a bean changes a "bound" or "constrained" property.

PropertyChangeListener
A "PropertyChange" event gets fired whenever a bean changes a "bound" property.

PropertyChangeSupport
This is a utility class that can be used by beans that support bound properties.

PropertyVetoException
A PropertyVetoException is thrown when a proposed change to a property represents an unacceptable value.

VetoableChangeListener
A VetoableChange event gets fired whenever a bean changes a "constrained" property.

VetoableChangeSupport
This is a utility class that can be used by beans that support constrained properties.

Visibility
Under some circumstances a bean may be run on servers where a GUI is not available.
