Getter- en setter-methoden worden vaak gebruikt bij het programmeren in Java. Getter- en setter-methoden in Java worden veel gebruikt om toegang te krijgen tot de waarden van klassenvelden en deze te manipuleren. Normaal gesproken zijn klassenvelden voorzien van een privétoegangsspecificatie. Om er toegang toe te krijgen, worden dus openbare toegangsspecificaties gebruikt met de getter- en setter-methoden.

De noodzaak van de Getter- en Setter-methode
Je zou kunnen beweren dat je de klassenvelden openbaar moet maken en de getter- en setter-methoden moet verwijderen. Een dergelijke codeerstijl is echter slecht, en men kan een absurde waarde hechten aan de klassenvelden. Laten we het begrijpen met behulp van een voorbeeld.
public class GetterSetterExample { public salary; public storeSalaryDB(int salary) { // code for storing the salary in the database } // main method public static void main(String argvs[]) { GetterSetterExample obj = new GetterSetterExample(); obj.salary = -50000; // storing salary in database obj.storeSalaryDB(salary); } } Merk op dat de code een negatief salaris in de database opslaat dat verkeerd is. Een organisatie schrijft nooit een negatief salaris bij op de rekening van een medewerker. Het toekennen van een absurd bedrag aan de salarisvariabele gebeurde omdat deze werd gedeclareerd met een specificatie voor openbare toegang. De juiste manier om de bovenstaande code te schrijven is:
public class GetterSetterExample { private salary; // a setter method that assign a // value to the salary variable void setSalary(int s) { if(s <0 ) { s="-s;" } this.salary="s;" a getter mehtod to retrieve the salary int getsalary() return this.salary; public storesalarydb(int salary) code for storing in database system.out.println('the ') main method static void main(string argvs[]) creating an object of class gettersetterexample obj="new" gettersetterexample(); obj.setsalary(-50000); obj.storesalarydb(salary); < pre> <p>Now, we can see better control over what we send to the database to store. Whenever the salary is negative, we are converting the salary into a positive value, and then we are sending it to the database to store. Thus, no matter what value we send to the setter method, the if-block of the setter method takes care of the absurd value and thus gives better control on the salary value.</p> <h2>Getter Setter Java Program</h2> <p> <strong>FileName:</strong> GetterSetterExample1.java</p> <pre> class Employee { // class member variable private int eId; private String eName; private String eDesignation; private String eCompany; public int getEmpId() { return eId; } public void setEmpId(final int eId) { this.eId = eId; } public String getEmpName() { return eName; } public void setEmpName(final String eName) { // Validating the employee's name and // throwing an exception if the name is null or its length is less than or equal to 0. if(eName == null || eName.length() <= 0) { throw new illegalargumentexception(); } this.ename="eName;" public string getempdesignation() return edesignation; void setempdesignation(final edesignation) this.edesignation="eDesignation;" getempcompany() ecompany; setempcompany(final ecompany) this.ecompany="eCompany;" for printing the values @override tostring() str="Employee: [id = " + getempid() ', name=" + getEmpName() + " , designation=" + getEmpDesignation() + " company=" + getEmpCompany() + " ]'; str; main class. class gettersetterexample1 method static main(string argvs[]) creating an object of employee final emp="new" employee(); details are getting set using setter methods. emp.setempid(107); emp.setempname('kathy'); emp.setempdesignation('software tester'); emp.setempcompany('xyz corporation'); displaying 'tostring()' method, which uses getter methods system.out.println(emp.tostring()); < pre> <p> <strong>Output:</strong> </p> <pre> Employee: [id = 107, name = Kathy, designation = Software Tester, company = XYZ Corporation] </pre> <h2>Bad Practices in Getter and Setter Methods</h2> <p>There are some common bad practices that people usually do when they deal with the getter and setter methods.</p> <h3>Bad Practice 1:</h3> <p>Using getter and setter for the variable that is declared with low restricted scope.</p> <pre> public salary; void setSalary(int s) { salary = s; } int getSalary() { return salary; } </pre> <p>It is evident that from the main method, one can directly access the variable salary, which is not only bad but also makes the presence of the getter and setter methods irrelevant.</p> <h3>Bad Practice 2:</h3> <p>Using an object reference in the setter method.

Er zijn enkele veel voorkomende slechte praktijken die mensen gewoonlijk doen als ze te maken hebben met de getter- en setter-methoden.
Slechte praktijk 1:
Getter en setter gebruiken voor de variabele die is gedeclareerd met een laag beperkt bereik.
public salary; void setSalary(int s) { salary = s; } int getSalary() { return salary; } Het is duidelijk dat men via de hoofdmethode rechtstreeks toegang heeft tot het variabele salaris, wat niet alleen slecht is, maar ook de aanwezigheid van de getter- en setter-methoden irrelevant maakt.
Slechte praktijk 2:
Een objectreferentie gebruiken in de setter-methode. Beschouw het volgende programma.

Referenties zijn een beetje lastig om mee om te gaan! In de bovenstaande code, op regel 43, werd de waarde bijgewerkt op de 0e index voor array mainArr[]. Het werd echter ook weerspiegeld in de array val[]. Dit zou niet moeten gebeuren omdat val[] array privé wordt verklaard; daarom wordt verwacht dat code buiten de klasse ABC deze niet mag wijzigen. Door de verwijzingen is echter alles in de war. De settermethode setVal() verwacht een referentie van een int-array, en op regel 7 wordt de referentie van de int arr[] gekopieerd naar val[]. Merk op dat de referentievariabele arr[] de referentie van de array mainArr[] opslaat. We kunnen dus zeggen dat val[] de referentie van de mainArr[] opslaat.
tekenreeks bevat
Daarom wordt alles wat we in de mainArr[] veranderen ook weerspiegeld in de val[]-array, wat in strijd is met het doel van de setter-methode. Het heeft ook geen betekenis om de privétoegangsspecificatie toe te voegen aan de val[]-array; omdat je de waarde van de val[]-array in de hoofdmethode kunt wijzigen, wat duidelijk wordt door naar de uitvoer te kijken.

In de bovenstaande code doen we de diepe kopie van elementen van de array arr[]. In regel 11 maken we een geheel nieuwe array. De val[] verwijst dus niet naar de arr[]. Bovendien worden in regel 17 alleen de waarden van het element gekopieerd. Wanneer we dus de waarde van het 0e element op regel 53 veranderen, wordt de verandering niet weerspiegeld in de val[]. De bovenstaande code respecteert dus de inkapseling van de private member-variabele val[].

In the getter method, a new array is created whose reference is sent to the main method. Therefore, when the value at the 0th index gets changed at line 54, that change impacts the temp[] array, not the private array val[]. Thus, the encapsulation of the class ABC is maintained, as the reference of the array val[] is not exposed to the outside world.</p> <h4>Note 1: For primitive data types (int, char, etc.), one does not need to create a copy in the getter and setter methods, as the concept of references is absent for the primitive data types.</h4> <h4>Note 2: Strings object types also work on the references.

De bovenstaande code verwerkt de referenties niet correct. De getter-methode retourneert de referentie van de array. De arr[] slaat de referentie op van de array val[], die privé is verklaard in de klasse ABC. Door de verwijzing naar de buitenwereld bloot te leggen, kan arr[] de val[] manipuleren, en zo wordt de inkapseling van de klasse ABC geschonden. De juiste manier om met het bovenstaande om te gaan is:

The String is: Hello India! </pre> <hr></size;> Uitleg: In de bovenstaande code wordt de referentie van de private array niet naar de buitenwereld verzonden. Bij de gettermethode wordt een nieuwe array gemaakt waarvan de referentie naar de hoofdmethode wordt verzonden. Wanneer de waarde bij de 0e index op regel 54 wordt gewijzigd, heeft die verandering dus invloed op de temp[]-array, en niet op de private array val[]. De inkapseling van de klasse ABC blijft dus behouden, aangezien de referentie van de array val[] niet wordt blootgesteld aan de buitenwereld.
Opmerking 1: Voor primitieve gegevenstypen (int, char, enz.) hoeft men geen kopie te maken in de getter- en setter-methoden, omdat het concept van referenties afwezig is voor de primitieve gegevenstypen.
Opmerking 2: Objecttypen Strings werken ook op de referenties. In tegenstelling tot de bovenstaande voorbeelden hoeft u zich echter geen zorgen te maken over de String-referenties die aan de buitenwereld worden blootgesteld. Dit komt omdat Strings onveranderlijk zijn. Dus wanneer iemand de string in de hoofdmethode (of ergens anders) manipuleert, wordt er een nieuw String-object gemaakt en blijft het vorige onaangeroerd.
