The class org.apache.axis2.uitl.Builder can be refactored to improve usability, improve object orientation and slightly improve performance -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: AXIS2-2159 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-2159 Project: Axis 2.0 (Axis2) Issue Type: Improvement Components: kernel Environment: NA Reporter: Sanjaya Karunasena The method "public static OMBuilder getBuilder(InputStream inStream, String charSetEnc, String soapNamespaceURI)" in the class org.apache.axis2.uitl.Builder takes three parameters, but when you look at the code last two parameters are optional. A more object oriented way of handling this would be to have this method overloaded to handle the difference scenarios. Right now this method has two null checks which get executed every time due to this. When I navigate through the calling stack I realize every time the caller is well aware of whether the optional parameters are available or not and he is passing null in such scenarios since there is no overloaded method. At the external interfaces where a parameter is really required implementors are passing a default value making the null check redundant. Also there is one overloaded method which takes a parameter of type Reader which provides the same functionality. IMO this method is again redundant since the only difference is how you handle the input, which should be the responsibility of the caller, not the utility class like this. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
