Whats the difference between a JavaBean and a Java applet?
A JavaBean is a reusable software component for the Java development language, conceptually similar to the way ActiveX controls are used in building a Visual Basic application. JavaBeans can be combined to create applets, which are miniature applications that run in a Web browser. For development of the JavaBeans themselves, see the JavaBean Development Kit (BDK) at the Java Web site (http://www.javasoft.com).
