# Package java.beans.beancontext

Provides classes and interfaces relating to bean context.

See: Description

- Interface Summary
  Interface | 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.
  BeanContextContainerProxy | This interface is implemented by BeanContexts' that have an AWT Container associated with them.
  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.
  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.
  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.

- Class Summary
  Class | Description
  --- | ---
  BeanContextChildSupport | This is a general support class to provide support for implementing the BeanContextChild protocol.
  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`.
  BeanContextServiceAvailableEvent | This event type is used by the BeanContextServicesListener in order to identify the service being registered.
  BeanContextServiceRevokedEvent | This event type is used by the `BeanContextServiceRevokedListener` in order to identify the service being revoked.
  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.

## Package java.beans.beancontext Description

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.
