To understand how properties are used, it is necessary to realize the different scenarios in which properties are important.
Every situation involving the use of properties can be simplified to simple accessor method calls.
Following are some of the scenarios in which Bean properties reveal themselves:

1. Properties are accessed programmatically via public accessor methods.
2. Properties are accessed visually via property sheets in application builder tools.
3. Properties appear as object fields in scripting environments such as JavaScript or VBScript.
4. Properties are used to persistently store and retrieve the state of a Bean.
