1. setter for a boolean variable named like isActive    stackoverflow.com

I have a property called isActive in my pojo class. When I generated the accessors for this property using Eclipse IDE, it generates following getters and setters

Getter : isActive()
Setter : setActive()

2. Does Java bean's setter permit return this?    stackoverflow.com

can I define setter method to return this rather than void? Like:

ClassA setItem1() {
      return this;
}

ClassA setItem2() {
      return this;
}
