I have
seen for RPG. I guess I am coming around to a getter/setter approach
though, simply because it offers the most flexibility.
I tend to favor the "business objects" approach. For example - I might
want to retrieve the shipping address - I sure as heck don't want to
implement that as a series of getter requests - yuck! Different
groupings can be defined ranging from (say) a whole invoice, to a line
item, to invoice totals, to ...
If the purists insist I can implement getters and setters under the
covers to populate the "object" but even the most hardened of OO
bigots seem to have moved away from the "Thou shalt always have a
getter and setter for every column in thy database" silliness.
