Scala — class declared fields and access modifiers

Question

I have been experimenting with Manifests and such in Scala, and I am having a very hard finding a way to use an object\'s fields when accessed via the getDeclaredFields meth

Answer 1

class Woah(val x: String, val y: String) {
  def printParams = classOf[Woah].getDeclaredFields foreach { field =>
    field.setAccessible(true)
    println(field.get(this))
  }
}

Answer 2

All JVM fields in Scala are private. Access to them is made only through getters, in Scala, so that there's no distinction between them and a parameterless method.
