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

Sadly, no, there isn't the equivalent language-level support in java.

The get* and set* patterns though are so established in java culture that you'll find strong IDE support for them (e.g., eclipse will make them for you automatically), and if you're working in something that uses the expression language first made for jsps (EL), then you'll be able to use the property notation to access getters and setters.
