Els mètodes Getter i Setter s'utilitzen amb freqüència en la programació Java. Mètodes d'obtenció i configuració en Java s'utilitzen àmpliament per accedir i manipular els valors dels camps de classe. Normalment, els camps de classe estan decorats amb un especificador d'accés privat. Així, per accedir-hi, s'utilitzen especificadors d'accés públic amb els mètodes getter i setter.
La necessitat del mètode Getter i Setter
Es pot argumentar que es declaren els camps de classe com a públics i s'eliminen els mètodes getter i setter. Tanmateix, aquest estil de codificació és dolent, i es pot posar un valor absurd als camps de classe. Entenem-ho amb l'ajuda d'un exemple.
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); } } Observeu que el codi emmagatzema un sou negatiu a la base de dades que és incorrecte. Una organització mai acredita un sou negatiu al compte d'un empleat. L'assignació d'una quantitat absurda a la variable salarial va passar perquè es declara amb un especificador d'accés públic. La manera correcta d'escriure el codi anterior és:
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.

Mala pràctica 1:
Utilitzant getter i setter per a la variable que es declara amb un àmbit restringit baix.
public salary; void setSalary(int s) { salary = s; } int getSalary() { return salary; } És evident que des del mètode principal es pot accedir directament al salari variable, la qual cosa no només és dolenta sinó que també fa irrellevant la presència dels mètodes getter i setter.

Les referències són una mica complicats de tractar! Al codi anterior, a la línia 43, el valor es va actualitzar a l'índex 0 de la matriu mainArr[]. Tanmateix, també es va reflectir a la matriu val[]. No hauria de passar quan val[] array es declara privat; per tant, s'espera que cap codi fora de la classe ABC no l'hagi de modificar. No obstant això, a causa de les referències, tot està desordenat. El mètode setter setVal() espera una referència d'una matriu int, i a la línia 7, la referència de l'int arr[] s'està copiant a val[]. Tingueu en compte que la variable de referència arr[] emmagatzema la referència de la matriu mainArr[]. Així, podem dir que val[] emmagatzema la referència del mainArr[].
llenguatge genial
Per tant, tot el que canviem a mainArr[] també es reflecteix a la matriu val[], que viola el propòsit del mètode setter. A més, no té cap sentit afegir l'especificador d'accés privat a la matriu val[]; perquè es pot canviar el valor de la matriu val[] al mètode principal, cosa que és evident mirant la sortida.
Una millor manera d'escriure el codi anterior és:

Al codi anterior, estem fent la còpia profunda dels elements de la matriu arr[]. A la línia 11, estem creant una matriu completament nova. Per tant, el val[] no es refereix a l'arr[]. A més, a la línia 17, només es copien els valors de l'element. Per tant, quan canviem el valor de l'element 0 a la línia 53, el canvi no es reflecteix en el valor []. Així, el codi anterior respecta l'encapsulació de la variable de membre privat val[].

The proper way to handle the above is:</p> <p> <strong>FileName:</strong> GetterSetterExample5.java</p> <pre> class ABC { private int[] val = {67, 43, 68, 112, 70, 12}; // the getter method public int[] getVal() { int size = val.length; // creating a new array int temp[] = new int[size]; // copying the content of the array to temp array for(int i = 0; i <size; 54 i++) { temp[i]="val[i];" } return temp; for displaying the value present in val array void display() int size="(this.val).length;" for(int i="0;" < size; system.out.print(this.val[i] + \' \'); main class. public class gettersetterexample5 method static main(string argvs[]) instantiating abc obj="new" abc(); invoking getter and storing result arr[]="obj.getVal();" display obj.display(); updating at 0th index arr[0]="-1;" line system.out.println(); pre> <p> <strong>Output:</strong> </p> <pre> 67 43 68 112 70 12 67 43 68 112 70 12 </pre> <p> <strong>Explanation:</strong> In the above code, the reference of the private array is not sent to the outside world. 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. However, unlike the above examples, one does not need to take care of the String references exposed to the outside world. It is because Strings are immutable.

El codi anterior no gestiona correctament les referències. El mètode getter està retornant la referència de la matriu. L'arr[] emmagatzema la referència de la matriu val[], que es declara privada a la classe ABC. A causa d'exposar la referència al món exterior, arr[] pot manipular el val[] i, per tant, es trenca l'encapsulació de la classe ABC. La manera correcta de gestionar l'anterior és:

En el mètode getter, es crea una nova matriu la referència de la qual s'envia al mètode principal. Per tant, quan el valor de l'índex 0 es canvia a la línia 54, aquest canvi afecta la matriu temp[], no la matriu privada val[]. Així, es manté l'encapsulació de la classe ABC, ja que la referència de la matriu val[] no està exposada al món exterior.
Nota 1: Per als tipus de dades primitius (int, char, etc.), no cal crear una còpia en els mètodes getter i setter, ja que el concepte de referències està absent per als tipus de dades primitius.
Nota 2: els tipus d'objectes cadenes també funcionen amb les referències. Tanmateix, a diferència dels exemples anteriors, no cal tenir cura de les referències String exposades al món exterior. És perquè les cadenes són immutables. Així, quan es manipula la cadena en el mètode principal (o en qualsevol altre lloc), es crea un nou objecte String i l'anterior es manté sense tocar.
