java beans final?

[Adkron]

I'm working on an internal application, and I'm wondering if I should make my beans final. I made all the methods(getters and setters) final for performance, and it helped a lot. Will making the actuall bean class give me a performance gain?

Well, the performance gain comes because the methods are inlined. Let me seriously doubt the performance comes from the final thingie. Have you done any other performance improvements?

Cheers,

I'm reading up on it now. I don't know a lot about the performance enhancements java can do.

I'm also fairly sure that declaring a method as a final will not significantly improve performance.

You can take a look at javaperformancetuning.com, some good tricks there.

I think the best way to know is to try with and without final declarations and compare.
