Getters/setters in Java

Question

I\'m new to Java, but have some OOP experience with ActionScript 3, so I\'m trying to migrate relying on stuff I know.

In ActionScript 3 you can create getters and sette

Answer 1

Your Java code is fine, except that you would, want to make _name private.

There are no get and set keywords in Java as in your AS3 example. Sorry, it doesn't get better than what you're doing already.

Corrected code:

class Dummy {
  private String _name;

  public void Dummy() {}

  public void Dummy(String name) {
    setName(name);
  }

  public String getName() {
    return _name;
  }

  public void setName(String value) {
    _name = value;
  }
}
