Overview<\/h3>\n

JavaBeans are POJO ( Plain Old Java Objects ) classes that encapsulate objects into a single entity called Bean. They are serializable, have a zero-argument constructor. The main property of the Bean class is, it allows access to its properties by using getter and setter methods. These methods are called accessor and mutator methods respectively.<\/p>\n

Conventions<\/h3>\n

The class must have a public default no-arg constructor and properties must be accessible using get, set methods.
\nThe class should be serializable. This allows applications to store, and restore the bean\u2019s state.<\/p>\n

You can see that EmployeeBean has different properties and how to generate accessor methods automatically. The below tip saves a lot of time especially when you have more number of beans and each bean has lot of properties.<\/p>\n

Eclipse Tip:<\/h3>\n

Once you write the variable names of the bean, go to<\/p>\n

Source >> Generate Setters and Getters<\/p>\n

Select the properties that you want setter\/getter methods and complete the wizard.<\/p>\n

The setter and getter code will be generated automatically.<\/p>\n
