how to get object's attributes

How can I get an object's attributes? I created an object that has two fields, first one called Title containing the string value "title1" and second one called Description containing the string value "description1". I would like to get the strings inside. The method item.toString() gets me the two strings one after the other. Is there a way to get the strings separatively?

Class Declaration

public class Class_Name {
    private String Category;
    private String Category_Type;

    public Class_Name () {
        super();
    }

    public Class_Name(String Category, String Category_Type) {
        super();
        this.Category = Category;
        this.Category_Type = Category_Type;
    }

    /*public Class_Name (String Category_Type) {
        this.Category_Type = Category_Type;
    }*/

    public String getCategory() {
        return Category;
    }

    public void setCategory(String Category) {
        this.Category = Category;
    }

    public String getCategory_Type() {
        return Category_Type;
    }

    public void setCategory_Type(String Category_Type) {
        this.Category_Type = Category_Type;
    }
}

In the class where you should use this Object to store and retrieve values.

//Create an object for this class

private Class_Name data;

// To save values

data.setCategory(sCategory);
data.setCategory_Type(sType);

// To retrieve values

String sCategory = data.getCategory();
String sType = data.getCategory_Type();

Just create accessor methods for each field. Assuming you have declared your fields like this:

private String title;
private String desciption;

create the accessor methods in your class definition like this:

public String getTitle() {
     return title;
}

public String getDescription() {
     return description;
}

then you just call these methods to get the appropriate value.
