CHAPTER 29

The JavaBeans API

This chapter explains the APIs for JavaBeans, the MMJB*() functions are JavaScript hooks that

invoke Java introspection calls for JavaBeans support. These functions get class names, methods,

properties, and events from the JavaBeans, which can appear in your Dreamweaver MX user

interface. To use these JavaScript functions and let Dreamweaver access your JavaBeans, the

JavaBeans must reside in the Configuration/Classes folder.

Note: packageName.className is a single string input.
