RE: Java Style Question

One of the big advantages of a JIT compiler over a traditional compiler
is that the JIT compiler has visibility to all of the code that will be
run.  In theory, the JIT compiler should include small getter/setter
methods as inline code, eliminating any performance hit that comes from
organizing the code in a more maintainable fashion.

I'm not sure of the sophistication of the iSeries JIT compiler but I am
sure that it will get better over time.  You'd need to run some tests to
see how much of a performance price you're paying.
