How do java programmers cope with java missing c++ const?


I've been working with java for a while now, but I miss the ability to
pass around objects that can't be modified, as is possible with the c++
const keyword. Is it just me or do others find this a limitation of
java? I've read the way to do it in java is to pass around immutable
objects however that seems a lot less flexible than having the ability
to pass a const reference to a mutable object as can be done in c++.
