Help: Creating The First Beans with Kaidi
MageLang Institute

Help is available for each task, or you can go straight to the solution source code.

Task 1

The KivaHan skeleton is your basic non-scrolling billboard. It always displays "Coffee: 10 lira". [The lira is the basic monetary unit in Turkey.] It is your job to convert the displayed message to a Bean-property by adding a getter/setter pair of routines.

The basic design pattern for Bean properties is:

public void setPropertyName (PropertyType value); public void PropertyType getPropertyName();

The routines should be named something like getMessage and setMessage. The getMessage method should return the current message text. The setMessage method changes the current text. Don't forget to call repaint when the message changes.

Task 2

Compile the file.

Make sure the JDK's bin directory is in your PATH. javac KivaHan.java

Task 3

Now that you've created your first Bean, save the KivaHanTester.java applet that uses it. For now, don't worry about providing a means to change the default message.

Shift-click on the KivaHanTester.java link to save.

Task 4

Compile the file.

javac KivaHanTester.java

Task 5

Save the KivaHanTester.html applet loader.

Shift-click on the KivaHanTester.html link to save.

Task 6

Use appletviewer to display the load the applet loader file.

appletviewer KivaHanTester.html
