How to make an Entity read-only or JPA entities immutables?

Question

I want avoid updates undue with Ebean, because it happens to Hibernate(@Immutable) and EclipseLink(@ReadOnly).

With Ebean you'd be best just to not have any setters on the entity bean - why don't you do that? — Rob Bygrave, Nov 27 '14 at 01:15
You can also use ... query.setReadOnly(true) on mutable beans but making the bean itself immutable by removing the setters would be a better approach imo. — Rob Bygrave, Nov 30 '14 at 00:09

So as an answer:

Just remove the setter methods and make the bean immutable that way.

Removing the setter doesn't work with collections. See this other topic http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5115527/how-to-make-an-entity-read-only – Xavier Bouclet Jun 07 '16 at 13:03
