A JavaBean has a documented
specification(http://www.javasoft.com/beans/docs/spec.html)
In a nutshell this describes a JavaBean through the java.beans.BeanInfo
interface.
This can be derived for any Java object using introspection and patterns,
but to precisely
define a 'JavaBean' you need to define a java.beans.BeanInfo. From the
java.beans.BeanInfo
javadoc:
"A bean implementor who wishes to provide explicit information about their
bean may provide a BeanInfo class that implements this BeanInfo interface
and provides explicit information about the methods, properties, events,
etc, of their bean."
