Encapsulation Hide Private Variable

Sep 10, 2014

As below code showing that you cannot directly access the private variable as i understood,  
 
public class EncapsulationDemo{   private int ssn;  
private String empName;   private int empAge;   //Getter and Setter methods  
public int getEmpSSN(){   return ssn;   }  
public String getEmpName(){   return empName;

Does Encapsulation Mean That Variables By Default Need To Be Private

Apr 9, 2015

I just recently started learning about encapsulation, how to set variables private and only accessible to other classes through setters() and getters(). I've seen a couple of programming examples, perhaps not enough but some from here, and I sort of built the assumption that by default all variables need to be private. to make things more clear, here's a card dealer I made which simply

1- generates a fulll deck of 52 cards
2- lets user decide how many players, with 5 as Max number allowed as each player is dealt 10 cards.
3- deal cards

I approached this by making A deck , card , player and game class

import java.util.ArrayList;
public class Deck {
//an Object of this Class would generate a full deck ie an ArrayList of 52 Cards
private String[] suits={"Spades","Diamond","Clubs","Hearts"};
private int[] number={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13};
ArrayList<Cards> deck= new ArrayList<Cards>();

[code]....

I can understand why for example Deck class's suit and number arrays are set to private , as they only need to be accessed by this class only. however, both the Deck class's deck arraylist and the Player class arraylist are not private, as I need to transfer these values from one to the other and it felt to me that setting them to private would make it more difficult to deal with them, but what I did instead is to set the Game class dealCard(), which is the only method that have access to them as private. does this achieve the same effect or do I need to set both of these arrayList to private?a follow up question, this is more related to the actual card dealer program, in this code

private void dealCards(){

for(int x = 0 ; x < playerCount ; x++){
for(int y = 0 ; y < 10; y++){
playerList.get(x).pile.add(deck.deck.get(0));
deck.deck.remove(0);
}
}
}

is there an API in ArrayList class that moves(adds to receiver and remove from giver) element across ArrayLists?

Each Class Contain Private Variable

Sep 22, 2014

I'm working on a project that contains multiple classes. Each class contains and must contain only PRIVATE variables. Here's my issue. When my test code calls for a new instance of "StudentClass" as so:

StudentClass studentClass = new StudentClass(offeredClass.getClassIdNumber(),
offeredClass.getClassName(),
offeredClass.getClassroom());

The corresponding constructor won't let me initialize it's variables because they are declared private within another class, as shown here:

StudentClass (float classIdNumber, String className, Classroom room){
this.classIdNumber = classIdNumber;
this.className = className;
this.room = room;
}

When getClassName, getClassroom, and getClassIdNumber are passed to a toString() method elsewhere in my test code. the output is returned just fine. When passed through the StudentClass, I'm getting Null across the board.

All Instances Of Same Class Change Each Other Private Variable

May 2, 2015

I have a class named Base and a private variable named _hopcount i have 10 instances of class base i use _hopcount as creteria to some if but other instances edit _hopcount so i want to prevent _hopcount edit by other instances; I want to have private variable which other instances of same class can't modify it.

public class Base extends TypedAtomicActor {
private int _hopcount = 0;
if(_hopcount <= 3) {
some code;
}
public function() {
_hopCount += 1;

Private Variable With Type Of Abstract Class

Oct 10, 2014

I've got an abstract class

public abstract class AbstractClass
{
//stuff
}

And a few classes that inherit from it

public class Class1 extends AbstractClass
{
//stuff
}
public class Class2 extends AbstractClass
{
//stuff
}

within another class I have a private variable with the type of the Abstract class, and within one of the methods I assign an object to the the variable like this:

public class Test
{
private AbstractClass temp;
public testMethod(){
Class1 anObject = new Class1();
temp = anObject;
}
}

Is this legal? Will temp become a Class1 object?

How Does Encapsulation Improve Maintainability

Jan 29, 2014

I understand making things private and using getters and setters to prevent corrupt data/valdiation. I am having trouble picturing a scenario where I can change my code without breaking others. What can I change without breaking existing code? One example I can think of is I can change an instance variable name since the getter for it will return it regardless. I am looking for a more vivid example...

Encapsulation - Protected Attributes Should Be Visible To Child Classes

Jun 7, 2013

I found the following inheritance and encapsulation issue . Suppose you have a parent class with a non-static protected attribute.

package package1;
public class Parent{
protected int a = 10; // this is the non-static protected attribute in question
public static void main(String args[]){
// whatever logic
}// end Parent class
}// end main()

Now suppose you have a child class in another package and you have imported in the parent class.

package package2;
import package1.Parent;
public class Child extends Parent{
public static void main(String[] args){
Parent p = new Parent();
Child c = new Child();

System.out.println(p.a); //should print out 10 BUT DOES NOT
System.out.println(c.a); //should print out 10
}// end main()
}// end Child class

My observation is that p.a produces an error even though, to the best of my knowledge, it should not. I believe the statement "System.out.println(p.a);" should print out a 10.

Am I misunderstanding something about inheritance and encapsulation?

How To Hide A Panel But Preserve The Space

Mar 27, 2014

I have eight panels that are one above the other and are the full width of the frame.

I would like to hide some of them some of the time and then "bring them back".

If I use panel1.setVisible(false) panel1 will disappear but then all the panels below it move up to take panel1's place.

I don't want that to happen. I want just a blank area where panel1 was.

Is there a way to do that?

JSP :: Hide Sensitive System Properties Like Passwords Set By Java Applications?

Oct 28, 2014

I am maintaining an existing Java product (which has a HUGE code-base). I discovered that it is setting (and getting) two of its internal passwords as Java system properties, at no less than 4-5 different places (methods). Now, the problem is, the passwords are being stored as plain text in the Java system properties, and so, the same is visible to external entities, as the application is not using any Java Security Manager. For example, if the application (process) is running on port number 1234, we can run the Java command:

jinfo -sysprops 1234

to view both the passwords as values of the corresponding Java system properties. I wish to ask if there is any remedy to this without changing the existing code-base too much? The desired effect would be to "hide" the two Java system properties (denoting the two passwords) from all external entities.

It may be noted that introducing a Java Security Manager into the application may not be a solution, as if we revoke read permissions from the said two Java system properties using the Java Security Manager, the application codes which read those properties would crash. Same is applicable for storing the passwords in encrypted form, as that would crash all codes within the application which are expecting to read the passwords in clear text form.

To give a bit more context, the said two passwords we are storing as Java system properties are actually passwords to access two key-stores, and Tomcat requires that we store the said two passwords in plain-text format. Any workarounds, such that only Tomcat will be able to see the two passwords as-is, while they will be invisible to all other external entities?

Or, is there any way to place the said passwords in other in-memory locations (like static variables) which only Tomcat can (be made to) read instead of placing them as system properties which is exposed to anyone?

and

public class MyClass {

private MyClass(){
