Our first example of Writing a Bean: HelloBean!

• To a standard hello world Java class, we add a (read/write) property by defining get and set functions in the correct pattern.

import java.awt.*

public class HelloBean extends java.applet.Applet

implements java.io.Serializable

{ String sname = “World”;

public void setName (String newname)

{ sname = newname; }

public String getName ( )

{ return sname; }

Enables saving as Object

Instance variable for value of property (not available outside the class)

Get and set methods define a property called “name” with a value of type String
