    <p>You can't really have a generic getter if you don't know what you want to get, for example :</p> <pre><code>boolean myNewBool= get("myString1"); </code></pre> <p>If <code>get</code> returns something, but you don't really know if this something is compatible with a boolean, and terrible things could happen.</p> <p>You could try this:</p> <pre><code>public &lt;T&gt; get(String element){ return (T) elementToGet; } </code></pre> <p>But you would have to specify the return type when you call the get method.</p> <pre><code>String element = myObject.&lt;String&gt;get("element"); </code></pre> <p>Here are the bad sides :</p> <ul> <li>You can't work directly with primitives</li> <li>You can have a lot of ClassCastException</li> <li>If you misspell an attribute name you won't see it until you run it</li> <li>You don't expose a nice public API, people would have to know evert possible attribute to use it, and as said above, a misspelled attribute (or an inexistant one) wouldn't be seen until runtime.</li> <li>You have to know the return time and type it each time you use your method</li> <li>You would have to type a really long (and smelly) code in your <code>get</code> method either to use each possible attribute (if you still want have some private and not accessible) or worse, use reflection to find the right attribute.</li> </ul> <p>So definitively <strong>not a good idea</strong>.</p> <p>What you can do instead is using the good old getters//setters and if there is a lot of them, generate them with your IDE.</p> <p>Another way would be to use the project lombok.</p> <hr> <p><strong>Resources :</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="http://projectlombok.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Project Lombok</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>On the same topic :</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2707912/create-automatically-only-getters-in-eclipse">Create automatically only getters in Eclipse</a></li> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2252914/eclipse-generate-all-getters-setters-in-package">Eclipse Generate All getters setters in package</a></li> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1907312/java-getters-and-setters">Java Getters and Setters</a></li> </ul>

    1. COI'm actually thinking that get("myWhatever") is not what I want to do at all?

    2. COlombok looks interesting. Thanks for all the information. I'm feeling that my current verbose getter/setter for each var is not only standard but really needs not be replaced with a "new" way.

Querying!

 
Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
