java beans is a specification for software components. Java Beans must
implement the Serializable interface, a no methods interface that declares
they can be saved to disk and reloaded or streamed across a networked
without error. It requires that java classes that comply with it define
properties that start with a lower case and use camel case amongst others

Java Server Pages uses java beans.

java beans provide a means to reuse software components. Visual programming
software can use reflection to discover the names of the beans properties to
automatically connect software components together.
