Graphical User Interface beans and interactors

JViews Maps provides a number of Graphical User Interface (GUI) JavaBeans™ components that you can use to build your own application. These components are either bean-like or interactor-like.

Bean-like components are the standard bricks from which the main application window should be composed. These components are ready to put into an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), which means that you can import and use them in any JavaBeans IDE compliant editor without writing a single line of code. The beans included in the JViews Maps package provide the basic features with which to view and navigate through a map.

Interactor-like components are usually associated with action buttons on the toolbar and trigger an action when you interact with the view (for example, putting additional data on the map or creating additional beans).

For more information about beans and interactors, see Using the GUI beans and Map GUI interactors.

The beans and interactors are listed in GUI Beans and Interactors.
