VisualAge provides beans that enable you to dynamically create and reference bean instances visually. These beans are not Java classes. A Factory creates new instances of a bean type. A Variable references any instance of a bean type that you assign to it. With either a Factory or a Variable, you specify the bean type that it can create or reference.
The following beans provide support for bean instances:
Bean | Description |
---|---|
Factory | A bean that dynamically creates instances of Java beans |
Variable | A bean that provides access to instances of Java beans |
