Ans :
Java Beans are reusable software component model which allow a great flexibility and addition of features in the existing piece of software. You will find it very interesting and useful to use them by linking together the components to create applets or even new beans for reuse by others. Graphical programming and design environments often
called builder tools give a good visual support to bean programmers. The builder tool does all the work of associating of various components together.
A “JavaBeans-enabled” builder tool examines the Bean’s patterns, discern its features and exposes those features for visual manipulation. A builder tool maintains Beans in a palette or toolbox. You can select a Bean from the toolbox, drop it into a form modify its appearance and behavior, define its interaction with other Beans, and compose it into applets, application, or new Bean. All this can be done without writing a line of code
Definition: A Java Bean is a reusable software component that can be visually
manipulated in builder tools
To understand the precise meaning of this definition of a Bean, you must understand
the following terms:
• Software component
• Builder too
• Visual manipulation.
