No theory is necessary. You can look it up.
"All parameters to methods in Java are "call by value". That is, values of
parameter variables in a method are copies of the values the invoker
specified. ... When the parameter is an object reference, however, the
object reference is what is passed "by value", not the object itself."
- Section 2.6.1, The Java Programming Language, Arnold & Gosling, 1996
The remainder of the section is well worth reading, and not necessary to
reproduce here.
