# Package java.beans.beancontext

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.

  Description
  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.
  BeanContextChildSupport
  This is a general support class to provide support for implementing the BeanContextChild protocol.
  BeanContextContainerProxy
  This interface is implemented by BeanContexts' that have an AWT Container associated with them.
  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`.
  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.
  BeanContextServiceAvailableEvent
  This event type is used by the BeanContextServicesListener in order to identify the service being registered.
  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.
  BeanContextServiceRevokedEvent
  This event type is used by the `BeanContextServiceRevokedListener` in order to identify the service being revoked.
  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.
  BeanContextServicesSupport
  This helper class provides a utility implementation of the java.beans.beancontext.BeanContextServices interface.
  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.BCSIterator
  protected final subclass that encapsulates an iterator but implements a noop remove() method.
