Not sure what you mean by 'defensive copies'.... Is there something special I need to do in my bean so I end up with a 'true' duplicate, and not just a second reference?
Defensive copies... described in Josh Bloch's "Effective Java". Getter methods return a copy of the property that they would return in a normal class, so that client code can't affect that property and have the change trickle back into your object. Required for immutable classes that compose other objects which are mutable.
