I am new to JSF and using @Inject --
I know one should use getters and setters with beans -- but I was doing learning code
so chose to try to access some non-public instance fields in the injected bean.
All beans are in same package.
in FilterBean the fields were declared like
Object new1Value;
the bean was annotated like
@Inject FilterBean fb;
FilterBean has an
Object getNew1Value(){} method
I am using CDI not JSF Managed Beans;
if the field -- Object new1Value, was declared: public Object new1Value -- i get deployment error - jboss weld complaint.
when I access the field -- fb.new1Value from the bean that FilterBean was injected into -- i rarely/never? see the value of the instance field;
if I use the getter, getNew1Value() -- i always to get the correct value returned.
Someone explain to me this behaviour -- or point me to some documentation explaining it;
Thanks
Gary
