Just to make sure, what you are describing is effectively:
public class A {
private B b;
private Function<B, Object> o;
public B getB() {
return b;
}
public Object getO() {
return o.apply(b);
}
}
To my knowledge, there is no way to do this where you can get to the
application of o without it being a method call the programmer makes.
I believe this is the "uniform access principle." (Or, more
accurately, Java's lack thereof.) This is also why I typically don't
care for using the members approach. As soon as you go from a simple
member access to a computed value, it changes everything that was
using that type.
