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

As far as I know <code>@BeanProperty</code> synthesizes getter for <code>val</code> fields and setter as well for <code>var</code>. It is not possible to generate only setters, hence you must write the setter explicitly and do not use <code>@BeanProperty</code>: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>private var status = "" def setStatus(s: String) { this.status = s } </code></pre> Note the <code>private</code> field modifier. Without it the <code>status()</code> Scala-style getter will still be generated. For some reason it is generated as well with <code>private var</code>, but it's private.

Use of @BeanProperty for setter generation only

private var status = ""

def setStatus(s: String) {
