Public Methods

public abstract T freeze ()

Freeze a volatile representation into an immutable representation. Objects returned from this call are safe to cache.

Note that the output of freeze may not be identical to the parent object, but should be equal. In other words:

 
 Freezable f1 = new Freezable();
 Freezable f2 = f1.freeze();
 f1 == f2 may not be true.
 f1.equals(f2) will be true.
 
 

Returns
  • A concrete implementation of the data object.
