• Binding Beans by Thomas Kunneth   - [Clicks: 8]
  Expressing GUI relationships through beans' getters and setters is a burdensome process of wiring that has frustrated many developers. Binding offers an alternative: automatically connecting a model value to its GUI representation. This style of programming is available to users of the JGoodies Binding framework, as well as the implementation of JSR-295, and in this article Thomas Kunneth takes a look at both.

• Synchronizing Properties with Beans Binding (JSR 295) by John O'Conner   - [Clicks: 6]
  The idea of setting up listener relationships between your GUI models, views, and controllers is simple enough, but grinding the same "glue" code dozens or even hundreds of times is wasteful and error-prone. JSR-295, Beans Binding, offers relief from the drudgery. In this article, John O'Conner shows how it works and what it can do for you.

• The Naked Objects Framework by Richard Pawson, Robert Matthews, et al.   - [Clicks: 21]
  The Naked Objects Framework is a software framework that makes it easy to design and build business systems using the naked objects approach. Using the framework, a new business application is defined solely in terms of the business domain objects such as Customer, Product and Order. All the required business functionality is specified as behaviours (methods) on those objects.
