什么是POJO？

 
POJO = pure old Java object

名称创立者 Matin Flower 给出的解释是：
The term was coined while Rebbecca Parsons, Josh MacKenzie and I were preparing for a talk at a conference in September 2000. In the talk we were pointing out the many benefits of encoding business logic into regular java objects rather than using Entity Beans. We wondered why people were so against using regular objects in their systems and concluded that it was because simple objects lacked a fancy name. So we gave them one, and it's caught on very nicely

POJO有一些private的参数作为对象的属性。然后针对每个参数定义了get和set方法作为访问的接口。例如：
public class User {
  private long id;
  private String name;
  public void setId(long id) {
this.id = id;
} 
public void setName(String name) {
this.name=name;
}
public long getId() {
return id;
} 
public String getName() {
return name;
}
}
POJO对象有时也被称为Data对象，大量应用于表现现实中的对象。
