public interface BeanContextChild
JavaBeans wishing to be nested within, and obtain a reference to their execution environment, or context, as defined by the BeanContext sub-interface shall implement this interface.
Conformant BeanContexts shall as a side effect of adding a BeanContextChild object shall pass a reference to itself via the setBeanContext() method of this interface.
Note that a BeanContextChild may refuse a change in state by throwing PropertyVetoedException in response.
In order for persistence mechanisms to function properly on BeanContextChild instances across a broad variety of scenarios, implementing classes of this interface are required to define as transient, any or all fields, or instance variables, that may contain, or represent, references to the nesting BeanContext instance or other resources obtained from the BeanContext via any unspecified mechanisms.

 events when the specified property changes. | 
| void | setBeanContext(BeanContext bc)
 Objects that implement this interface,
 shall fire a java.beans.PropertyChangeEvent, with parameters:
 propertyName "beanContext", oldValue (the previous nesting
  BeanContextinstance, ornull),
 newValue (the current nestingBeanContextinstance, ornull). | 
void setBeanContext(BeanContext bc) throws PropertyVetoException
 Objects that implement this interface,
 shall fire a java.beans.PropertyChangeEvent, with parameters:
 propertyName "beanContext", oldValue (the previous nesting
 BeanContext instance, or null),
 newValue (the current nesting
 BeanContext instance, or null).
 
A change in the value of the nesting BeanContext property of this BeanContextChild may be vetoed by throwing the appropriate exception.
