Re: Probably a silly question
This is also a shortcut (usually found in WOComponents) used to route around Java being less magically inclined. Thanks to KVC you can declare a public ivar like _person and use it from your components (or any API using KVC) like person. Later, when you decide you need accessors you can add them without changing any calling code. tb On Monday, December 19, 2011 at 6:11 AM, Gino Pacitti wrote: Thanks Markus...

Hi Gino, as far as I know from the old days of WebObjects/Objective-C variables with _ were meant to be private vars (there was no public/ private then). Many folks coming from those days still use this naming convention. It is a visual clue to the human developer and has no technical significance. I haven't looked at those examples but I guess that is it. Weird anyway that the vars are public and visually marked private. ---markus--- ___ Do not post admin requests to the list.
