BeansExpress
BeansExpress is displayed when you choose the Bean tab at the bottom of the Content pane. This tab includes four designers, which you can use to create properties and events for a bean, create property editors, and expose and edit properties. There is also an informational display.
- Property Designer
The Property Designer displays all properties existing in the current JavaBean. With the Property Designer, you can add new properties, with their associated getter and setter methods, and change the names and types of existing properties.
- BeanInfo Designer
The BeanInfo Designer displays additional information associated with the properties in the current JavaBean. This designer allows you to expose a property and change certain attributes of the properties that are exposed. The BeanInfo Designer will generate a new BeanInfo file corresponding to the current JavaBean.
- Event Designer
The Event Designer displays a list of event types that the current JavaBean can generate, as well as a list of event types that the current JavaBean can listen for. The Event Designer also allows you to create your own events, and will generate the appropriate EventObject class and EventListener interface.
- Property Editor Designer
The Property Editor Designer allows you to define custom property editors that can be used to edit properties in your JavaBean.
