AFAIK, the session uses a Hashtable to store the values.  And that is indeed
more "scalable", in that you don't have to add new methods whenever you add
a new attribute.  On the other hand, adding a new attribute and its
corresponding setter and getter isn't a lot of work either.  I use VAJ, and
VAJ builds them for you if you ask it nicely, so I like to use setters and
getters in my working storage class.
