Here is what goes on:
The generated stub introduces new protected attributes. Before there was
only local<yourAttribute>
Now there is not only local<yourAttribute> but local<yourAttribute>Tracker
The Tracker attribute is used to detect when the setter is called, so that
the field can serialized conditionally.
The gotcha for me is that if you extend from it and then use Commons
EqualsBuilder, the EqualsBuilder will see these new members and will return
surprisingly results unless the Tracker methods are excluded.
It's a drag to change the state of an object without telling people . . .
A snippet from a generated Stub:
/**
* field for Discontinued
*/
protected boolean localDiscontinued ;
/* This tracker boolean wil be used to detect
whether the user called the set method
* for this attribute. It will be used to
determine whether to include this field
* in the serialized XML
*/
protected boolean localDiscontinuedTracker =
false ;
/**
* Auto generated getter method
* @return boolean
*/
public boolean getDiscontinued(){
return localDiscontinued;
}
/**
* Auto generated setter method
* @param param Discontinued
*/
public void setDiscontinued(boolean param){
// setting primitive attribute
tracker to true
if (false) {
localDiscontinuedTracker = false;
} else {
localDiscontinuedTracker = true;
}
this.localDiscontinued=param;
}
