Java Component Development: A Conceptual Framework
In object-oriented programming and distributed object technology, a component is a set of classes and interfaces to fulfill requirements (functional and non-functional) with a reusable external API. Components should be able to run in a distributed network environment to form a network application. Component-based design and development is not a new topic at all to professionals who are following Object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD) methodology. The goal of this article is to arrive at a common conceptual framework to develop a Java component step by step, following Java best design practices, and starting from scratch. The expected audience of this article needs to have prior knowledge of Java and UML, and Java/J2EE design patterns.
