I am looking at subclassing JakartaMultiPartRequest and almost all of the members are 'private final', but they are Lists and Maps, so I am curious what the justification is... I want to subclass and get at the data, obviously I'd have to change the declarations to protected, but is final necessary? From what I can see, the only thing it guarantees is that with each instance of JakartaMultiPartRequest, the Lists or Maps will point to new instances. I guess what I'm wondering is if there is an intention to follow a coding standard or something that I'm missing because I don't see much point for these members to be private or final (especially since it makes it pretty much impossible for me to subclass it).
