JavaBeans were surely there in JDK 1.1, 1997.

There's no information lose. A class has some JavaBean properties, and
that's it. You can access them by property name in FreeMarker. The
getter methods are still there, like you can write foo.getBar(), but
if that's also the reader method of the property "bar", you can and
should write foo.bar instead.

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing 
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
