Metodele getter și setter sunt frecvent utilizate în programarea Java. Metode getter și setter în Java sunt utilizate pe scară largă pentru a accesa și manipula valorile câmpurilor de clasă. De obicei, câmpurile de clasă sunt decorate cu un specificator de acces privat. Astfel, pentru a le accesa, se folosesc specificatorii de acces public cu metodele getter și setter.
Nevoia metodei Getter și Setter
Se poate argumenta că se declară câmpurile de clasă ca publice și se elimină metodele getter și setter. Cu toate acestea, un astfel de stil de codare este rău și se poate pune o valoare absurdă câmpurilor de clasă. Să înțelegem cu ajutorul unui exemplu.
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); } } Observați că codul stochează un salariu negativ în baza de date care este greșit. O organizație nu creditează niciodată un salariu negativ în contul unui angajat. Atribuirea unei sume absurde variabilei salariale s-a întâmplat pentru că este declarată cu un specificator de acces public. Modul corect de a scrie codul de mai sus este:
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.

Există unele practici proaste comune pe care oamenii le fac de obicei atunci când au de-a face cu metodele getter și setter.
Proasta practică 1:
Folosind getter și setter pentru variabila care este declarată cu un domeniu de aplicare redus.
public salary; void setSalary(int s) { salary = s; } int getSalary() { return salary; } Este evident că din metoda principală se poate accesa direct salariul variabil, ceea ce nu numai că este rău, dar face și prezența metodelor getter și setter irelevantă.

Utilizarea unei referințe la obiect în metoda setter. Luați în considerare următorul program.

Referințele sunt puțin dificil de tratat! În codul de mai sus, la linia 43, valoarea a fost actualizată la indexul 0 pentru matricea mainArr[]. Cu toate acestea, s-a reflectat și în matricea val[]. Nu ar trebui să se întâmple deoarece matricea val[] este declarată privată; prin urmare, este de așteptat ca orice cod din afara clasei ABC să nu-l modifice. Totuși, din cauza referințelor, totul este încurcat. Metoda setter setVal() așteaptă o referință a unui tablou int, iar la linia 7, referința int arr[] este copiată în val[]. Rețineți că variabila de referință arr[] stochează referința matricei mainArr[]. Astfel, putem spune că val[] stochează referința mainArr[].
Prin urmare, orice schimbăm în mainArr[] se reflectă și în matricea val[], ceea ce încalcă scopul metodei setter. De asemenea, nu are sens în adăugarea specificatorului de acces privat la matricea val[]; pentru că se poate schimba valoarea matricei val[] în metoda principală, ceea ce este evident uitându-se la ieșire.

În codul de mai sus, facem copierea profundă a elementelor matricei arr[]. În linia 11, creăm o matrice complet nouă. Astfel, val[] nu se referă la arr[]. De asemenea, în linia 17, numai valorile elementului sunt copiate. Prin urmare, atunci când schimbăm valoarea elementului 0 la linia 53, modificarea nu se reflectă în val[]. Astfel, codul de mai sus respectă încapsularea variabilei membru 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. Thus, when one manipulates the string in the main method (or anywhere else), a new String object is created, and the previous one remains untouched.</h4> <p> <strong>FileName:</strong> GetterSetterExample6.java</p> <pre> class ABC { private String str = null; // a setter method void setVal(String s) { // reference is getting copied this.str = s; } // for displaying the string void display() { System.out.println( 'The String is: ' + this.str); } } // Main class. public class GetterSetterExample6 { // main method public static void main(String argvs[]) { // creating an object of the class ABC ABC obj = new ABC(); // input string String inputStr = 'Hello India!'; // invoking the setter method obj.setVal(inputStr); obj.display(); // manipulation is not allowed! // it leads to the creation of the new string inputStr = 'Hello World!'; obj.display(); } } </pre> <p> <strong>Output:</strong> </p> <pre> The String is: Hello India! The String is: Hello India! </pre> <hr></size;></pre></size;> Explicaţie:
Codul de mai sus nu gestionează corect referințele. Metoda getter returnează referința matricei. Arr[] stochează referința matricei val[], care este declarată privată în clasa ABC. Din cauza expunerii referinței la lumea exterioară, arr[] poate manipula val[] și astfel, încapsularea clasei ABC este încălcată. Modul corect de a gestiona cele de mai sus este:

În metoda getter, este creată o nouă matrice a cărei referință este trimisă la metoda principală. Prin urmare, atunci când valoarea de la indexul 0 este modificată la linia 54, acea modificare afectează matricea temp[], nu matricea privată val[]. Astfel, se menține încapsularea clasei ABC, deoarece referința matricei val[] nu este expusă lumii exterioare.
Nota 1: Pentru tipurile de date primitive (int, char, etc.), nu este nevoie să creați o copie în metodele getter și setter, deoarece conceptul de referințe este absent pentru tipurile de date primitive.
Nota 2: Tipurile de obiecte șiruri de caractere funcționează și pe referințe. Cu toate acestea, spre deosebire de exemplele de mai sus, nu trebuie să aveți grijă de referințele String expuse lumii exterioare. Se datorează faptului că șirurile sunt imuabile. Astfel, atunci când se manipulează șirul în metoda principală (sau oriunde altundeva), este creat un nou obiect String, iar cel anterior rămâne neatins.
