If you all remember when Rod Johnson first introduced Spring it was suppose to be the anti-EJB. I think using the term bean was an attempt to reminded developers what EJB should have been (simple and straight forward) versus what it turned out to be (tedious and in many cases overkill). With that said I do think object is a better term than bean, but after 9 years of beans it may be tough (initially at least) to get developers to see it any other way.jwhite1202https://www.blogger.com/profile/13870233493320231195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7440473.post-87859053215681500252011-10-14T14:18:00.153+05:302011-10-14T14:18:00.153+05:30Hi Myron, Yes I agree, JavaBeans spec must have an...Hi Myron, Yes I agree, JavaBeans spec must have an impact since Spring uses setters for injection. However the point is there's no requirement for our Java classes to be JavaBean spec complaint to be used inside a Spring config; even factory methods can be invoked using Spring config.<br />Cheers.Kamalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03241660835422874258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7440473.post-31261437550474136972011-10-14T12:22:15.442+05:302011-10-14T12:22:15.442+05:30I'm a little new to this but though your argum...I'm a little new to this but though your arguments do make some sense, I think the use of the and tags grew from the JavaBean convention in Java programming.
