Unless we are talking about API, then you add getter and setter. You might even be able to refactor all callers automatically via IDE. I mean, I dont mind getters and setters in java, it is standard at this point.

But origin of it is in EJB specification, it is not something that would be interently needed elsewhere. It just "feels wrong" to programmers (including me) at this point.
