Yes, you need to declare getters and setters, at least for the fields that are used for primarykeys and foreignkeys. But the benefit is that you can put whatever implementation you see fit, the do not even need to have actual java fields for the values. And the speed hit because of the reflection is not that much because the field descriptor caches the method object, so it is minor especially when compared to the database hit.
Btw, this works really nice with the XDoclet module because you don't have to put anything into the impl classes at all, only in the interface at the getters and/or setters.
