In addition to information about using the different components, the following chapters
feature a table for each component that lists the JavaBeans properties defined by that compo-
nent. Each table notes whether a property has a setter ( set PropertyName ( newValue ) ), a getter
( get PropertyName () ), or an is PropertyName () method defined by the class, and whether a
property is bound (you can listen for a Property ChangeEvent ). In these property tables, inherited
properties aren't listed, so even though a property for a component is listed as write-only, the
parent class might still provide a getter method. As an example, Table 1-4 shows the property
table for the JScrollBar component.
