Advantages of Java Beans

The following list enumerates some of the benefits that Java Bean 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 another application can be controlled.

        Auxiliary software can be provided to help 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 state 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.
