How does finger pointing between Alice and Bob help Carol? A bit of
defensive programming by Alice could have prevented Carol from being
inconvenienced. I see HashMap iteration order leakage so often that I
suspect a systemic problem in its use. Avoiding exposing HashMap
iteration order (e.g. using LinkedHashMap) removes a common problem that
is hard to detect on a single platform.
This one bit me today when I made the unreasonable assumption that an
XSDSchema[] would be ordered:
Schemas.findSchemas (line 114) "new HashSet(":
http://svn.osgeo.org/geotools/trunk/modules/extension/xsd/xsd-core/src/main/java/org/geotools/xml/Schemas.java
In this one, we see WFS responses in which the encoded namespace
attribute and schemaLocation order is platform-dependent, which makes
for interesting unit tests. We have not fixed all of them, and this
breaks some of Christian's Hudson instances:
GeoServer FeatureTypeSchemaBuilder.build (line 119) "new HashMap(":
https://svn.codehaus.org/geoserver/trunk/src/wfs/src/main/java/org/geoserver/wfs/xml/FeatureTypeSchemaBuilder.java
I have previously removed other HashMap use in GeoTools. You will like
this one, Andrea, as the solution was to use an ArrayList instead:
SimpleFeatureTypeImpl:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-2338
ComplexTypeImpl:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-2378
How do we configure Eclipse to make "new HashMap(" and "new HashSet("
blinking red 18-point text? ;-)
Kind regards,
