Re: OJB seems to be accessing private fields rather than the getter/settermethods

[Gareth Cronin]

Some people (like me) prefer to use private variables for persistence. Comment out this line in your OJB.properties file:
PersistentFieldClass=org.apache.ojb.broker.metadata.PersistentFieldDefaultImpl
...and uncomment this one:
PersistentFieldClass=org.apache.ojb.broker.metadata.PersistentFieldPropertyImpl
....and OJB will use the bean setters/getters

I have a situation where my date field is built from 3 separate
day/month/year int fields (populated from a form), but the thing is OJB
seems to access the private field rather than the public getter method,
what's up with that?
