Rule: Constants - or unmodifiable variables - are excellent. Use them more often.
A class which is unmodifiable or immutable, is thread-safe, easy to manage, high performant, and a great building block for other objects.
Given below is an example of an Immutable class. Such as class can be shared freely amongst threads without any external synchronization:
/**
* To represent SMG server as TCP end point
* @author umansoor
*/
public class SmgServer
{
private final String hostname;
private final String ipaddress;
private final int port;
/**
* PRIVATE CONSTRUCTOR
*/
private final SmgServer(String host, String ip, int port) { //Assign Variables }
public static valueOf(String host, String ip, int port)
{
return new SmgServer(String host, String ip, int port);
}
}
