ZK - Open Source Ajax Java Framework

Hi,

Enable ZK Page to bind with non public properties of bean.

Say I have a domain object called Book which looks like

class Book{
private String name;

protected String getName(){
return name;
}

protected void setName(String name){
this.name = name;
}
}

I want to be able to bind a textbox using @{book.name} , at present I think to enble binding i will need to make the getter and setter as public.

Frameworks like hibernate can operate on non public properties as well, so why has zk choosen not too, an configuration change possible to enable this ??

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks
Sudarshan

Hibernate MUST have access to all properties for working well (i.e. check 'not null' fields). So in this case hibernate will change the visibility of the properties with reflection, if needed. It's dirty but needed.

I was just wondering that when other frameworks can/are doing it, why does ZK restrict itself to publicly accessible properties ?, and is there any way to work around this ?

Hi sudarshan89,
The databinding did not implement retrieve the data by reflection, we only support public method.
