[jbehave-user] Combining @Given and @When to avoid duplication

[Foley, Brooks (GE Healthcare)]

I am new to JBehave and the group so I apologize if this is a basic
question.

In my stories I have statements that I reuse in both the Given and When
context:

 

Given I set foo to 3

 

When I set foo to 3

 

In my steps code I have 

@Given ("I set \"$field\" to \"$value\"")

       public void set(String field, String value){.....

}

 

@When ("I set \"$field\" to \"$value\"")

       public void whenset(String field, String value){.....

}

 

The code for both is the same. Can I use the following?

 

@Given ("I set \"$field\" to \"$value\"")

@When ("I set \"$field\" to \"$value\"")

       public void set(String field, String value){.....

}

 

If not is there another option to avoid duplicating the code?

 

Thanks
