I have a question about declaring member variables to be final in immutable classes. I agree with you that it is a trick to help the compiler enforce your own logic about the class. However when it comes to serializing these classes there is a problem. If I implement the serialization method readObject(ObjectOutputStream os), then all of the member variables that I will be setting in this method must be non-final. Do you have any suggestinos about how to have final methods in this case (without using readResolve)? |
