About the Siebel Java Data Bean Object Interface

The Siebel Java Data Bean is a set of Java libraries that use the J2SE Development Kit (JDK). It is similar to the interfaces that are available through COM Data Control. It allows you to do the following work:

• Use an external application, external component, or Java applet to access Siebel objects without displaying the Siebel client.
• Access a Siebel application to read and write data.
• Incorporate the Java libraries in Java applications, applets, servlets, JSPs, or Enterprise Java Beans. You can add these items to your Java application.
