Re: cannot write to property without a setter

[Nathan Maves]

I have never tried to do what you say in Spring.

In fact I have never tried it at all :)

My personal opinion is that you should never try and inject into private
properties.  Follow the bean specs and all will be well.

Let's say I have a class structure as per below. Ibatis doesl not seem to
let me address the path foo.bah.someProperty, because there is no setter
(Foo#setBah). Specifically, I get "com.ibatis.common.beans.ProbeException:
There is no WRITEABLE property". Spring, on the other hand, is fine with
this particular setup, and in fact seems to ignore the setBah() method if it
exists. Is there a good argument for one way or the other?

public class Foo
{
    private Bah bah;

    public Foo()
    {
        bah = new Bah();
    }

    public Bah getBah()
    {
        return bah;
    }
}

public class Bah
{
    private int someProperty;

    public int getSomeProperty()
    ...

    public void setSomeProperty(int someProperty)
    ...
}
