javabean getter and setter

[Fred Close]

Hi,
I was having trouble with a struts page using a javabean Tartanpion containing the following property and getter and setter

String pRoperty;  
public void setPRoperty(String newproperty)
{this.pRoperty = newproperty;}
public String getPRoperty()
{ return this.pRoperty;}

the jsp page was throwing an exception :
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: No getter method for property pRoperty of bean tartanpion
with the following getter and setter it works ok

public void setpRoperty(String newproperty)
{this.pRoperty = newproperty;}
public String getpRoperty()
{ return this.pRoperty;}

I thought that the rule to write a getter and a setter method was :
get + name of the property (with the first letter of the property in capital)
set + name of the property (with the first letter of the property in capital)
so what's the rule to write getter/setter ?
btw : the code generation of IDEA and JBuilder does not give the same result :
for the property tOto
IDEA : gettOto()
JBuilder : getTOto()
who is right ?

Generally speaking, you're right about the rule. However, I think you are confusing Struts by capitalizing the second letter. I don't know exactly why that confuses it though, since you could have a property called "fileName", for example, and not have a problem with that. One nice thing about Struts being open source, is you could download the source code and see exactly what's going on ... if you're really motivated.

That was my first reaction too, but as Greg pointed out it should work. You could try changing pRoperty to paRoperty (or pbRoperty or whatever) and of course change the getters and setters to reflect that. If that works, then our hunch is right.
