It sort of lives on the in the get/set and other naming conventions,
but the idea of the beanbox died.
So long as you understand naming conventions, you can ignore
JavaBeans.
That's not entirely true. JavaBeans are still alive and kicking in
certain frameworks, such as Spring, Guice, and other IoC/DI frameworks,
as well as struts/el in JSPs.
Unfortunately, a lot of developers think that JavaBeans was only ever a
naming convention, don't know anything about the BeanInfo classes, and
write "bean introspection" code that is broken :-/
So, the short answer is, yes, the JavaBean concept is still alive and
well, but not quite the same as the original concept.
