I think the same. And I think getters and setters are useless! Just wasted lines of code. One more reason to switch to a dynamic language like Ruby or Python.

I think the same. And I think getters and setters are useless! Just wasted lines of code. One more reason to switch to a dynamic language like Ruby or Python. The applications I saw in the last 14 months in the Ruby community are much more object oriented than the stuff I saw the last 10 years in the Java World. And because they are more object oriented their are much more easy to test. It is so easy to write test cases for a Ruby on Rails App, but it is a nightmare to do the same for JSF & EJB.
