The getter method for the field boolean myField
is getMyfield()
or isMyField()
(it's up to the user to choose). I personally use the second format, as many source code generating tools do.
This format is a standard, it is defined in the JavaBeans
specification. See the section 8.3.2 of this documentation:
http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/jcp/7224-javabeans-1.01-fr-spec-oth-JSpec/
Quote from the docs:
In addition, for boolean properties, we allow a getter method to match the pattern: public boolean is<PropertyName>();
The documentation doesn't talk about the primitive wrappers like the Boolean
class.
