public abstract class PageBeanComponent extends PageBeanComponentBase implements IPageBeanComponent
Self containing component that can be easily re-used across application projects.

The aspects of "self containing" include:

The .jsp layout definition is contained in the same package than this class. As consequence the .jsp layout is part of the ".jar-delivery" and does not need to be installed as additional web content.

The literals that are required are contained in a properties file that has the same name as the class and that is contained in the same package.

There is a configuration file ".config" that describes the component.

Example: the complete component definition of a XyzPageBean consists out of:
1. XyzPageBean.java in the source package
2. XyzPageBean.jsp in the resource package
3. XyzPageBean.properties in the resource package (and additional language definitions)
4. XyzPageBean.config in the resource package
