  2. Mutator method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutator_method

    In computer science, a mutator method is a method used to control changes to a variable. They are also widely known as setter methods. Often a setter is accompanied by a getter, which returns the value of the private member variable. They are also known collectively as accessors.

  3. JavaBeans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaBeans

    A property is a subset of a Bean's state. The values assigned to the properties determine the behaviour and appearance of that component. They are set through a setter method and can be obtained by a getter method. Customization A customizer can provide a step-by-step guide that the process must follow to use the component in a specific context ...

  4. Field encapsulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_encapsulation

    Sometimes these accessor methods are called getX and setX (where X is the field's name), which are also known as mutator methods. Usually the accessor methods have public visibility while the field being encapsulated is given private visibility - this allows a programmer to restrict what actions another user of the code can perform. [1]

  5. Property (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Property_(programming)

    A property, in some object-oriented programming languages, is a special sort of class member, intermediate in functionality between a field (or data member) and a method.The syntax for reading and writing of properties is like for fields, but property reads and writes are (usually) translated to 'getter' and 'setter' method calls.

  6. Lazy initialization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_initialization

    In a software design pattern view, lazy initialization is often used together with a factory method pattern. This combines three ideas: Using a factory method to create instances of a class (factory method pattern) Storing the instances in a map, and returning the same instance to each request for an instance with same parameters (multiton pattern)

  7. Plain old Java object - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_Old_Java_Object

    A JavaBean is a POJO that is serializable, has a no-argument constructor, and allows access to properties using getter and setter methods that follow a simple naming convention. Because of this convention, simple declarative references can be made to the properties of arbitrary JavaBeans.

  8. Class (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_(computer_programming)

    In languages that support access specifiers, the interface of a class is considered to be the set of public members of the class, including both methods and attributes (via implicit getter and setter methods); any private members or internal data structures are not intended to be depended on by external code and thus are not part of the interface.

  9. Method (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_(computer_programming)

    A method in object-oriented programming (OOP) is a procedure associated with an object, and generally also a message. An object consists of state data and behavior; these compose an interface, which specifies how the object may be used. A method is a behavior of an object parametrized by a user.
