Getter Block execution without VF reference

My understanding of the Getter Setter is that getter is invoked if the particular variable is being referenced in VF Page.



However for the following code I see that Getter is getting called even if no variable reference is on the page.



    public class EmbeddedTest
{
public list<account> lAcc{
get{
system.debug('INSIDE GETTER');
return null;
}
set;
}

public void checkChanges()
{
lAcc=[select id,name from account limit 10];
system.debug('ACCOUNT LOG GENERATED '+lAcc);
}
}


VF Page:



<apex:page controller="EmbeddedTest">
<apex:form >
<apex:commandButton action="{!checkChanges}" value="Click to change!"/>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>


On clicking the button I see the below logs(in order):




08:37:22.0 (14537986)|SOQL_EXECUTE_BEGIN|[19]|Aggregations:0|SELECT
id, name FROM account LIMIT 10



08:37:22.0 (19987384)|SOQL_EXECUTE_END|[19]|Rows:10



08:37:22.0 (20434238)|USER_DEBUG|[3]|DEBUG|INSIDE GETTER



08:37:22.0 (20537127)|USER_DEBUG|[20]|DEBUG|ACCOUNT LOG GENERATED null




Why does the Getter get called and make the list(lAcc) null even without any VF reference ?

          You call the getter here:



          system.debug('ACCOUNT LOG GENERATED '+lAcc);


          Accessing the attribute value of lAcc in any way calls the getter.

          • Okay. So does it mean that manipulation of lAcc(eg, the SOQL result assignment) will have no bearing on the value of lAcc. It will always return what the getter block returns.
