> For your "getters" - it doesn't look like anything remotely follows the java
bean standard?
correct, and I'm not trying to introduce it as a java standard :o)
> And there is no instance method on a class which returns a value?
we generally have normal get and set methods too. The getter implementation we
use goes with reflection direct to the instance variables, but had i written it
i would have reflected to the getMethods instead.
> ie does everything have to come from a static method like that?
no, just the parts where we want to, eg our eclipse GUI uses it (parsed xml),
and the database connection - really any place we need to describe data access
from business objects without having instances of business objects available.
E.g. you want to tell a text field or a database table column where it gets its
contents from.
