When specifying one to many relationships in the domain model….is it better to initialize the set?
i.e.
private Set<Book> books = new HashSet<Book>();
OR
private Set<Book> books;
Thxs.
Initializing it in the first place prevents you from null checks all over the place, so my advice would be the first.
