Implement Design by Contract for Java using dynamic proxies The Design by Contract (DBC) theory can dramatically raise software quality and reusability levels by forcing you to think in terms of contracts. Contracts formally specify the responsibility relationship between a client (class user) and a supplier (class). Additionally, DBC clearly separates specification (what) from implementation (how). This article explains DBC's importance in object-oriented development and describes a DBCProxy framework that achieves DBC transparently in Java using dynamic proxy classes. mark for My Articles similar articles

Why getter and setter methods are evil The getter/setter idiom is a commonplace feature of many Java programs. The use of accessors violates the basic object-oriented principle of encapsulation, so you should avoid using them. This article discusses getter/setter cons and offers an alternative design methodology. mark for My Articles similar articles
