BeanDefinition (TIBCO EBX® Version 6.1.2 Java API)

```
public interface BeanDefinition
```
This interface is used to define the schema associated with a non-persistent bean object (as opposed to a record or a dataset).
The root element for the schema of a dynamic bean is defined internally by EBX®. Therefore, all paths used by means of this class are relative to this root element and must be prefixed by './'.

Since:

5.8.0
