To create an immutable class following steps should be followed:
public final class FinalPersonClass {
private final String name;
private final int age;
public FinalPersonClass(final String name, final int age) {
super();
this.name = name;
this.age = age;
}
public int getAge() {
return age;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
}
- Create a final class.
- Set the values of properties using constructor only.
- Make the properties of the class final and private
- Do not provide any setters for these properties.
- If the instance fields include references to mutable objects, don't allow those objects to be changed:
- Don't provide methods that modify the mutable objects.
- Don't share references to the mutable objects. Never store references to external, mutable objects passed to the constructor; if necessary, create copies, and store references to the copies. Similarly, create copies of your internal mutable objects when necessary to avoid returning the originals in your methods.
public final class FinalPersonClass {
private final String name;
private final int age;
public FinalPersonClass(final String name, final int age) {
super();
this.name = name;
this.age = age;
}
public int getAge() {
return age;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
}
