How to activate a setter method without input in the main program code?

By -

I'm working on a program that needs to check if a value is an integer before applying it to an attribute of a class. This must be done in a setter ("set") method.

internal class Dummy {
    private int number;
            
    public int Number {
        get { return number; }
        set { Console.Write("Input number: "); if (int.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), out value) == true) { number = value; Console.WriteLine("The number is " + number + "."); } else { Console.WriteLine("That is not a number."); } }
    }
}

I tried to make the input in the main program a string (objectName.Number = Console.ReadLine();) instead of an int (objectName.Number = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine()):), but this obviously gave me an error.

I've then tried to just make the input an int, but use a string input when running the program. This would lead to a crash.

The only way I could make this work was for the user to enter a "useless" number (for the first "main program" input to be discarded) and then input the right one when prompted with "Input number: "; but this "solution" looks and feels clunky.

I'm open to different ways of doing this, but remember, the setter absolutely must be the code that checks whether the value is an int (and then apply it accordingly).

Spring Elasticsearch Operations

By -
Elasticsearch Operations Spring Data Elasticsearch uses two interfaces to define the operations that can be called against an Elasticsearch index. These are ElasticsearchOperations and ReactiveElasticsearchOperations. Whereas the first is used with the classic synchronous implementations, the second one uses reactive infrastructure. The default implementations of the interfaces offer: Read/Write mapping support for domain types. A rich query and criteria api. Resource management and Exception translation. ElasticsearchTemplate The ElasticsearchTemplate is an implementation of the ElasticsearchOperations interface using the Transport Client. @Configuration public class TransportClientConfig extends ElasticsearchConfigurationSupport {   @Bean   public Client elasticsearchClient() throws UnknownHostException {                      Settings settings = Settings.builder().put("cluster.name", "elasticsearch")....

Hibernate Search - Elasticsearch with JSON manipulation

By -
Elasticsearch with JSON manipulation Elasticsearch ships with many features. It is possible that at some point, one feature you need will not be exposed by the Search DSL. To work around such limitations, Hibernate Search provides ways to: Transform the HTTP request sent to Elasticsearch for search queries. Read the raw JSON of the HTTP response received from Elasticsearch for search queries. Direct changes to the HTTP request may conflict with Hibernate Search features and be supported differently by different versions of Elasticsearch. Similarly, the content of the HTTP response may change depending on the version of Elasticsearch, depending on which Hibernate Search features are used, and even depending on how Hibernate Search features are implemented. Thus, features relying on direct access to HTTP requests or responses cannot be guaranteed to continue to work when upgrading Hibernate Search, even for micro upgrades (x.y.z to x.y.(z+1)). Use this at your own risk....
