Question

Is it possible to use the Scala @BeanProperty annotation to create only the setter?

Answer 1

As far as I know @BeanProperty synthesizes getter for val fields and setter as well for var. It is not possible to generate only setters, hence you must write the setter explicitly and do not use @BeanProperty:

private var status = ""

def setStatus(s: String) { 
  this.status = s 
}

Note the private field modifier. Without it the status() Scala-style getter will still be generated. For some reason it is generated as well with private var, but it’s private.
