getters

Hi,

I've got a value object, which stores info for example amount. The getAmount() getter returns amount in cents. However in various places, we need to get amount in dollar. There are 2 approaches I can think of:

write a convert method and place it in a utility class.
add a getAmountInDollar() getter in the value object.

I prefer the second approach. What do you think? What are pros and cons of both approaches?

Java design: too many getters

After writing a few lesser programs when learning Java the way I've designed the programs is with Model-View-Control.
