Re: Variable in Setter

Thanks!

Is this correct?

Inside the BeanChalker class:
.....
private String lastname;
private String firstname;
BeanChalker() {}

public String getLastname() {
return lastname;
}

public void setLastname(String lastname) {
this.lastname = lastname;
}

public String getFirstname() {
return firstname;
}

public void setFirstname(String firstname) {
this.firstname = firstname;
}

//or do I put this in the BeanChalker class instead?

 public void set(String key, String value)
     {
        checkKey(key);
        values.set(key, value);
      }

     public String get(String key)
     {
            checkKey(key);
             return values.get(key);
     }
........

//then call like this in the Servlet?

  static Set keys;
    static
    {
        keys = new HashSet()
        keys.add("firstName");
        keys.add("lastName");
        //etc.
    }

    private checkKey(String key)
    {
        if (!keys.contains(key))
            throw new IllegalArgumentException(key);
    }

String myvariableFirst = "firstname";
String myvariableLast = "lastname";
Would I use this for my get info?
BeanChalker.get(myvariableFirst);
BeanChalker.get(myvariableLast);
