So, something like this?
private String myString;
public String getMyString()
{
String returnedString = this.myString;
return (returnedString);
}
I'm not sure how this applies to my cloning issue....

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.
