Hi there,

I'm programming in java for several years, but I never programmed beans. I'm
looking for a FAQ or a manual which can help me! Does anybody know one?

thanks and bye

Have you considered the JavaBeans specification? It's a free download
from Sun: http://java.sun.com/products/javabeans/docs/spec.html

That link points to a page with some other potentially useful resources
on it as well. An important thing to realize is that basic beans are
not really very special, code-wise -- don't get overly hung up on the
hype and glitz, bean boxes, BeanInfo classes, etc. unless you
specifically need them.

That applies to regular JavaBeans, of course, not EJBs. Another
important thing to recognize is that the two are very, very different.

I'd like to think the Object FAQ will soon fill this role. For now, you
could check the new technologies section (on HomePage/What's New)
for a high level overview. There's so much good info on J2EE/EJB,
perhaps the 2nd ed of Core J2EE Patterns (check amazon) out a few
weeks ago is a good place to start, it even includes Web Services
and anti-patterns. Also Mastering EJB is good on EJB proper,
a free PDF is available if you look around on:
http://www.theserverside.com/home/index.jsp

BTW, I haven't been to the newsgroups lateley, is this the J2EE/EJB
newsgroup?

Regards,
Bob
