JavaBeans Naming

JavaBeans are Java classes that have properties.

• Properties which are represented as private instance variables.
• Exposed through getters and setters.

Getters

• camel-case, prefixed with get: getPropertyName(). In case of boolean variable, prefix can also be "is".
• should be public, return type same as that of the property, void argument.
• e.g. public int getAge();

Setters:

• camel-case, prefixed with set: setPropertyName()
• should be public, return type void, and argument of the same type as the property

Events:

• Methods in the source to register events:
• camel-case, prefix with add or remove followed by Listener Class Name, with argument as the Listener object

e.g.

• public void addXListener(XListener xl);
• public void removeXListenerClassName(XListener xl);
