I went ahead and removed all setters from *JoinVOs this morning and played 
around in my environment. There were no compile errors since nobody called 
those setters, everything seems to be working just fine and there aren't any 
errors in any of the logs.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to properly test this? I can't imagine 
we're using Java reflection somewhere to actually invoke the setter for a given 
field. Other than that, with no compile errors, I don't see this causing any 
issues.
