Well, it's a tradeoff. If the attributes are really just public and have no constraints on them, then get/set buys you very little (i.e., if the get simply returns the value and the set simply updates it). However, if you want to implement a readonly attribute or you want validation on update or the attribute is really a calculated value, then you need set/get (and private data). > Just thinking out loud here...but a keyboard shortcut that prompt's > for the variable name and write's out the set and get methods would be > quite handy. Maybe something for that mythical code oriented Homesite > followup if it ever comes into being. Something for [EMAIL PROTECTED] then? I've used Java CASE tools that let you visually design a Bean and, in a property sheet, indicate whether the attributes are readonly etc - and it generates all the set/get methods for you. Very helpful. Yes, it would be nice to see something like this in Dreamweaver's CFC Wizard.
