About BeanWorkbench

The aim of this project was, to develop a graphical builder environment for Java software components, also known as JavaBeans. This builder environment, called "BeanWorkbench", enables the configuration of single JavaBeans. The main feature of the BeanWorkbench is the possibility to connect JavaBeans together, which is solved in two different ways. The first possibility is to use automatic coded adapters to connect the JavaBeans together and the second possibility is to use dynamic proxies. The BeanWorkbench is able to save the whole design as a serialized file or as a XML file. Additionally, a function is implemented, which can inspect a JavaBean relative to the JavaBeans standard. In order to reuse the BeanWorkbench within other applications, this builder environment also is implemented as a JavaBean package.
