Lombok how to customise getter for Boolean object field?


One of my POJOs has a Boolean object field to permit NULLS in the database (a requirement). Is it possible to use the @Data Lombok annotation at class level yet override the getter for the Boolean field? The default it generates is getXXX method for the Boolean field. I wish to override it as isXXX()?

Thanks,
Paddy

Solution

  • It's a bit verbose, but you can provide your own isXXX, and then use AccessLevel.NONE to tell Lombok not to generate the getXXX:

    @Data
public class OneOfPaddysPojos {

    // ... other fields ...

    @Getter(AccessLevel.NONE)
    private Boolean XXX;

    public Boolean isXXX() {
        return XXX;
    }
}

    (And hey, at least it's not quite as verbose as if you weren't using Lombok to begin with!)
