  2. What are Abeans? • Abeans are Java beans of the IDL interfaces (for the client Java classes created by the IDL compiler). • These wrappers are especially useful in GUI IDEs. • Do not have to be used for GUIs though. • To some extent, they are the Java equivalent of the SimpleClient interface. • Easy to create so even non-programmers like astronomers can develop GUIs. • Abeans are really just clients like objexp. Because of this, we do not care about anything other than the IDL interface. ACS Training

  3. What are Abeans? (continued) • The only thing an abean GUI needs is the corbaloc of manager (i.e., the hostname and port number that Manager is running on). • A number of widgets have already been designed by CosyLab and are available for use in the ALMA project. • Widgets are specifically designed to interact with BACI properties. • At this point, abeans can really only be generated for C++ and Java Components where exists BACI ACS Training
