JavaBeans Components: An Example

• Java library contains a TimeZone class
  • A time zone is identified by a string such as "America/Los_Angeles" or "Asia/Tokyo"
  • getAvailableIDs returns a string array containing all IDs:

    String[] ids = TimeZone.getAvailableIDs();

  • getTimeZone returns a TimeZone object for a given ID string:

    String id = "America/Los_Angeles";
    TimeZone zone = TimeZone.getTimeZone(id);
