You can add debug code to a getter. In some languages, you can use the clean public variable syntax to access a getter or setter in an expression, so the distinction is blurred. I think Java missed the boat with its incredibly clumsy getter/setter syntax. It is almost like writing assembler. -- Roedy Green Canadian Mind Products http://mindprod.com Most of computer code is for telling the computer what do if some very particular thing goes wrong.
