Re: "Database" Put/Get Beans

Hi Jon.

In VisualAge for Java 3.0, you can easily add a slew of instance variables
quickly
in the class definition just by typing them in thru a class editor ....
1)
public class MyClass {
        public String name;
        public String address1;
        public int zipCode;
... ( and so on ).

2)      Save the class definition (ctl - s).

3)      Go to the menu bar and select:  
        Tools | Generate | Accessors

you now have get | set methods for all the variables you defined.
This is much faster than using the 'slower' beanInfo wizard approach ...

oh-oh! it's O-O!

Let's see... A class is a DS.  They are not external in that the
requirement
of the class is to hide the implementation.  They are external in the idea
that they are accessed through their set/get methods.

This also means that the persistence (which maybe what you were after) can
be any mechanism you choose and is hidden by the class (DS).

So what is the equivalent of an externally described data structure from
RPG
in JAVA?  A class.

No?
