## Chapter 5
Using BeanConnect Programs as Components

This document will describe how to use BeanConnect programs as Netscape ONE components and integrate them into applications built with Netscape tools, such as Visual JavaScript (VJS).

> NOTE: For the PR3 release of the Component Developer's Kit (CDK), this technology is not yet fully tested, and documentation is incomplete.

BeanConnect programs are Java applications that function in and across HTML pages and frames. They are embedded in HTML pages using the <OBJECT> tag, and afford some specific advantages over embedding Java in HTML pages using the <APPLET> tag. For example, the number of applets that can be embedded in a page is limited to about 10, but there is no practical limit on the number of objects that can be embedded in a page.

Because a BeanConnect program consists of one or more linked Java objects, it is possible to import a BeanConnect program to a VJS palette adapting the methods described in Using Java Objects as Components.
