Java: Defensive Copying
Answer
Avoid leaks by using private fields and returning copies or unmodifiable views.
To prevent collection leaks, keep collection fields private and carefully control how they are accessed. Always return a copy or an unmodifiable view to ensure that external modifications do not impact the class's internal state, crucial in complex systems like e-commerce applications.
