accessor, getter setter for kawa class

[Damien Mattei]

are there predefined getter or setter for a field of a kawa class?

Hi Damien.

AFAIK, there aren't such predefinded accesors in Kawa classes.

To achieve the same goal I usually do one of the following:

a) Leave the field as public and use it directly.

b) Define a parent class (abstract or not) in Java and use Lombok
annotations (@Getter, @Setter, @Data, etc)

Greetings.

hello Ἀλκείδης

in fact, as written in the manual , a lot of Guile GOOPS procedure are
ported to Kawa, like slot-ref and this give this code:

(define (matrix-v M)
  (slot-ref M 'v))

to have the same getter than in Guile or Racket for a matrix class:

(define-simple-class matrix ()

  (v::vector)

  ((*init* (vParam::vector))
   (set! v vParam))

  )

(matrix-v M)
#(#(0 1 2) #(1 2 3))

*Hello Damien.*

Thanks for pointing them out and remembering me of those ones.
I guess I misunderstood the meaning of the "predefined" word as mentioned before.

Well, yes indeed the /generic/ accessor & mutator procedures (=slot-ref,slot-set!=)
work very well with public fields, which is the default access modifier in
Kawa anyway.

But AFAIK they don't work with private or protected fields, as it is
the case when using Java frameworks or libraries that usually follow a
more "traditional"/Java-like OOP-Style in which fields are almost
allways private/protected and hence require proper accessors/mutators.

Therefore if your use case is not like this, they should work and serve
you well.

#+begin_src scheme
;; Defining a class with a private field
(define-simple-class MyKlass ()
  (v::vector #:access 'private)
  ((*init* (vparm::vector))
   (set! v vparm)))

;; Trying to access the private field throws exception
(! m1 (MyKlass #(1 2 3)))
(slot-ref m1 'v)

java.lang.RuntimeException: no such field v in my-klass
	at gnu.kawa.reflect.SlotGet.getSlotValue(SlotGet.java:188)
	at atInteractiveLevel-3.run(tty:3)
	at gnu.expr.ModuleExp.evalModule2(ModuleExp.java:290)
	at kawa.Shell.run(Shell.java:300)
	at kawa.Shell.run(Shell.java:183)
	at kawa.repl.processArgs(repl.java:724)
	at kawa.repl.main(repl.java:830)
#+end_src

*Greetings.*
