------------------------------------
> wrong behavior of InstanceManager.onSet(..) method

> Key: FELIX-2603

> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: iPOJO
> Affects Versions: iPOJO-1.4.0
> Environment: all
> Reporter: P.A
> Assignee: Clement Escoffier
> Fix For: iPOJO-1.8.0

> Hello,
> Clement and I has talked about this issue, and some different point of views
> are welcome.
> Currently, in the InstanceManager.onSet(..) method, the calls to the
> FieldInterceptor.onSet(..) is conditioned by '!value.equals(objectValue)',
> the 'value' is the current reference to the intercepted field, 'objectValue'
> is the reference that is going to be assigned to the intercepted field.
> See line 1096 of InstanceManager.java in iPOJO core 1.6.4.
> Thus, in my opinion, the semantic of 'onSet' is not really what is described
> in the iPOJO documentation "This method is called each time a field of the
> POJO is assigned" (see
> http://felix.apache.org/site/how-to-write-your-own-handler.html#Howtowriteyourownhandler-InteractingwiththePOJO).
> Its semantic is rather "this method is called each time a field of the POJO
> is assigned and the new assigned value is different (in the 'equals(..)'
> method way) from the current value".
> Moreover, the call to 'equals' method can result in some expensive
> computations, thus this optimization can be counter productive.
> I suggest to remove the condition '!value.equals(objectValue))' in
> 'InstanceManager.onSet(..)'.
> If some external codes rely on the current behavior of onSet(..), rename the
> 'InstanceManager.onSet(..)' to 'InstanceManager.onModification(..)', add the
> method onModification(..) in FieldInterceptor interface, and adapt the
> external codes to use this new 'onModification(..)' method.
