Here is a list of upcoming Beans and Beans-related features:
beancontext. Previous to this
protocol a Bean only knew about and had access to the
Java Virtual Machine (JVM) in which the Bean ran, and
the core Java APIs. This protocol introduces a
standard way for a Bean to discover and access
attributes or services provided by a Bean's enclosing
environment, and for a Bean's enclosing environment
to discover and access a Bean's attributes and services.
The java.beans.beancontext API introduces
the ability to nest Beans and Bean contexts
within a hierarchical structure.
At runtime, a Bean can obtain services from its containing enviroment;
the Bean can then make use of those services, or propagate those services
to any Beans that it contains.
