Java, as originally conceived (J2SE, that is) is a perfectly decent language for several different problem domains, including particularly those similar to that for which it was created.

private int m_iData;
public int Data

  return m_iData;

 set

   // store the old data

   int iOldData = m_iData;

   m_iData = value;
