First Bean

Hello all,

Today I made my first major change to a Java Bean. I know it might not sound like much, but until I worked at DST I had not been exposed to Beans before. They are a lot like Java classes, but they have special characteristics that make them unique. One of the cool things about Beans is they can be instantiated by the web.xml file and available to JSP's from that point on. I know it sounds like a bunch of tech geek stuff, but was a lot for me to understand before I could make the change. The syntax was the easy part. Knowing what properties inside the Bean had been populated at the time of my logic's execution took much longer to understand. Anyway, I've taken another step in my understanding of the system I support. Thanks for listening to me cheer!
