Beans

[Erica Wheatcroft]

Hi

I need to create two different beans for an application that I'm building. I
want to pick up a great reference book. Can anyone suggestion one? Or a good
website?

Thanks
Erica

Beans are pretty simple to grasp, and I'm not sure one
needs a book.

1. No parameter constructor.
2. Getters/setters to access properties (i.e., member variables
are typically private).

Have you looked at the Java (Sun) Web site? A little poking
around yields

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/javabeans/

Or maybe at IBM's developer Web site there's something?

Finally, please send responses to the newsgroup only.
That means, do not send email directly to me.
Thank you.

This is an old tutorial, so ignore things like the
"Bean Box" and the BDK. I'd just use JBuilder's
functionality to automate/assist in the writing of
complex beans.

The JavaBeans books are universally old. Not much has changed except
what Paul already noted, and maybe some stuff about serialization, so
there really hasn't been a need for any updates or second editions.

My favorite old beans book is this one.

But it is out of print. Someone "borrowed" my copy years ago. Just
recently I managed to replace it through Abebooks. They are basically a
clearing house for used book vendors.
