Summary

In this chapter, you learned about Java's delegation event model and the way JavaBeans software components send and receive events. Events are a powerful way to communicate user interactions with a bean's graphical user interface. They also make it possible to create JavaBeans components that can work together as a program or communicate with other objects or scripting languages in a Web page. Now that you understand how to use events in Java beans, you've mastered what is probably the most important and the most difficult part of the JavaBeans specification.
