package

java.beans.beancontext

Provides classes and interfaces relating to bean context. A bean context is a container for beans and defines the execution environment for the beans it contains. There can be several beans in a single bean context, and a bean context can be nested within another bean context. This package also contains events and listener interface for beans being added and removed from a bean context.

Interfaces

BeanContext

The BeanContext acts a logical hierarchical container for JavaBeans. 

BeanContextChild

JavaBeans wishing to be nested within, and obtain a reference to their execution environment, or context, as defined by the BeanContext sub-interface shall implement this interface. 

BeanContextChildComponentProxy

This interface is implemented by BeanContextChildren that have an AWT Component associated with them. 

BeanContextContainerProxy

This interface is implemented by BeanContexts' that have an AWT Container associated with them. 

BeanContextMembershipListener

Compliant BeanContexts fire events on this interface when the state of the membership of the BeanContext changes. 

BeanContextProxy

This interface is implemented by a JavaBean that does not directly have a BeanContext(Child) associated with it (via implementing that interface or a subinterface thereof), but has a public BeanContext(Child) delegated from it. 

BeanContextServiceProvider

One of the primary functions of a BeanContext is to act a as rendezvous between JavaBeans, and BeanContextServiceProviders. 

BeanContextServiceProviderBeanInfo A BeanContextServiceProvider implementor who wishes to provide explicit information about the services their bean may provide shall implement a BeanInfo class that implements this BeanInfo subinterface and provides explicit information about the methods, properties, events, etc, of their services. 
BeanContextServiceRevokedListener The listener interface for receiving BeanContextServiceRevokedEvent objects. 
BeanContextServices

The BeanContextServices interface provides a mechanism for a BeanContext to expose generic "services" to the BeanContextChild objects within. 

BeanContextServicesListener The listener interface for receiving BeanContextServiceAvailableEvent objects. 

Classes

BeanContextChildSupport

This is a general support class to provide support for implementing the BeanContextChild protocol. 

BeanContextEvent

BeanContextEvent is the abstract root event class for all events emitted from, and pertaining to the semantics of, a BeanContext

BeanContextMembershipEvent A BeanContextMembershipEvent encapsulates the list of children added to, or removed from, the membership of a particular BeanContext
BeanContextServiceAvailableEvent

This event type is used by the BeanContextServicesListener in order to identify the service being registered. 

BeanContextServiceRevokedEvent

This event type is used by the BeanContextServiceRevokedListener in order to identify the service being revoked. 

BeanContextServicesSupport

This helper class provides a utility implementation of the java.beans.beancontext.BeanContextServices interface. 

BeanContextServicesSupport.BCSSChild  
BeanContextServicesSupport.BCSSProxyServiceProvider  
BeanContextServicesSupport.BCSSServiceProvider subclasses may subclass this nested class to add behaviors for each BeanContextServicesProvider. 
BeanContextSupport This helper class provides a utility implementation of the java.beans.beancontext.BeanContext interface. 
BeanContextSupport.BCSChild  
BeanContextSupport.BCSIterator protected final subclass that encapsulates an iterator but implements a noop remove() method.
