I've worked for some j2ee prjects and often find lots of objects only
with getter and setter methods. I'm confused. I think that this style
object is the same to C Style Struct Object.This style object disclose
all details of the object. But sometime this style object may be
useful. for example: we may get data from DAO Object: we put all data
from DB and let this style object to hold data and return to our
business layer. can Anyone give me some ideas about this style object?
thx.
