No, a "bean" is just a pattern that means that the object has getters and
setters for all of its properties. It can absolutely have other logic and
methods within it, and I would say it absolutely should. An object that is
nothing but properties along with corresponding getters and setters is
virtually useless. One might as well be using a regular structure. Make
those beans rich objects! :-)
