A BeanBox is a visual interface that displays (and allows changes to be made to) the properties of a JavaBean and further allows one to see and change the linkage between JavaBeans.
|
|
A JavaBean consists of Java Code and possible associated files such as one or more icons, an image or two, a help file etc. This collection of entities is stored in a jar file which is based on the well-known UNIX tar file concept

JavaBeans are naturally used as distributed objects in CORBA and can be linked to both JDBC (and hence databases) and COM from Microsoft.
|
There is a Java native distributed communication model RMI (Remote Method Invocation) which provides CORBA like capabilities for a pure Java world
-
Basic CORBA capability is invoking a method(aka service) in a remote object
