> JavaBeans extends Java platform's "write once - run everywhere" capability to reusable component development. In fact, JavaBeans takes interoperability a major step forward -- your code runs on every OS and also within any application environment. A Beans developer secures a future in the emerging network software market without losing customers that use proprietary platforms, because JavaBeans interoperate with ActiveX, OpenDoc, and LiveConnect.
