[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JGRP-987) Make many classes immutable

Make many classes immutable --------------------------- Key: JGRP-987 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JGRP-987 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Feature Request Reporter: Bela Ban Assignee: Bela Ban Fix For: 3.x Currently, a lot of classes could be immutable if it wasn't for the readFrom() method to initialize itself from an input stream. However, if we had a factory, which reads and constructs immutable instances of classes, then we could turn a lot of classes into immutable classes, for example all headers should be immutable. The code for marshalling and unmarshalling could be generated, e.g. based on an XML description of the data layout of a class. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
