FlexibleMapAccessor.java:44, SE_NO_SERIALVERSIONID
SnVI: org.apache.ofbiz.base.util.collections.FlexibleMapAccessor is Serializable; consider declaring a serialVersionUID
This class implements the Serializable interface, but does not define a serialVersionUID field. A change as simple as adding a reference to a .class object will add synthetic fields to the class, which will unfortunately change the implicit serialVersionUID (e.g., adding a reference to String.class will generate a static field class$java$lang$String). Also, different source code to bytecode compilers may use different naming conventions for synthetic variables generated for references to class objects or inner classes. To ensure interoperability of Serializable across versions, consider adding an explicit serialVersionUID.

This class implements the Serializable interface, but does not define a serialVersionUID field. A change as simple as adding a reference to a .class object will add synthetic fields to the class, which will unfortunately change the implicit serialVersionUID (e.g., adding a reference to String.class will generate a static field class$java$lang$String).

- FlexibleServletAccessor.java:181, EQ_CHECK_FOR_OPERAND_NOT_COMPATIBLE_WITH_THIS
Eq: org.apache.ofbiz.base.util.collections.FlexibleServletAccessor.equals(Object) checks for operand being a String
This equals method is checking to see if the argument is some incompatible type (i.e., a class that is neither a supertype nor subtype of the class that defines the equals method). For example, the Foo class might have an equals method that looks like:
public boolean equals(Object o) {
if (o instanceof Foo)
return name.equals(((Foo)o).name);
else if (o instanceof String)
return name.equals(o);
else return false;
This is considered bad practice, as it makes it very hard to implement an equals method that is symmetric and transitive. Without those properties, very unexpected behavoirs are possible.
- FlexibleServletAccessor.java:208, SE_NO_SERIALVERSIONID
SnVI: org.apache.ofbiz.base.util.collections.FlexibleServletAccessor$AttributeAccessor is Serializable; consider declaring a serialVersionUID
This class implements the Serializable interface, but does not define a serialVersionUID field. A change as simple as adding a reference to a .class object will add synthetic fields to the class, which will unfortunately change the implicit serialVersionUID (e.g., adding a reference to String.class will generate a static field class$java$lang$String).

- GenericMap.java:68, HE_EQUALS_USE_HASHCODE
HE: org.apache.ofbiz.base.util.collections.GenericMap defines equals and uses Object.hashCode()
This class overrides equals(Object), but does not override hashCode(), and inherits the implementation of hashCode() from java.lang.Object (which returns the identity hash code, an arbitrary value assigned to the object by the VM). Therefore, the class is very likely to violate the invariant that equal objects must have equal hashcodes.
If you don't think instances of this class will ever be inserted into a HashMap/HashTable, the recommended hashCode implementation to use is:
public int hashCode() {
assert false : "hashCode not designed";
return 42; // any arbitrary constant will do
}
- GenericMapValues.java:45, EQ_CHECK_FOR_OPERAND_NOT_COMPATIBLE_WITH_THIS
Eq: org.apache.ofbiz.base.util.collections.GenericMapValues.equals(Object) checks for operand being a java.util.List
This equals method is checking to see if the argument is some incompatible type (i.e., a class that is neither a supertype nor subtype of the class that defines the equals method). For example, the Foo class might have an equals method that looks like:
public boolean equals(Object o) {
if (o instanceof Foo)
return name.equals(((Foo)o).name);
else if (o instanceof String)
return name.equals(o);
else return false;
This is considered bad practice, as it makes it very hard to implement an equals method that is symmetric and transitive. Without those properties, very unexpected behavoirs are possible.
- GenericMapValues.java:45, EQ_CHECK_FOR_OPERAND_NOT_COMPATIBLE_WITH_THIS
Eq: org.apache.ofbiz.base.util.collections.GenericMapValues.equals(Object) checks for operand being a java.util.Set
This equals method is checking to see if the argument is some incompatible type (i.e., a class that is neither a supertype nor subtype of the class that defines the equals method). For example, the Foo class might have an equals method that looks like:
public boolean equals(Object o) {
if (o instanceof Foo)
return name.equals(((Foo)o).name);
else if (o instanceof String)
return name.equals(o);
else return false;

- MapComparator.java:32, SE_COMPARATOR_SHOULD_BE_SERIALIZABLE
Se: org.apache.ofbiz.base.util.collections.MapComparator implements Comparator but not Serializable
This class implements the Comparator interface. You should consider whether or not it should also implement the Serializable interface. If a comparator is used to construct an ordered collection such as a TreeMap, then the TreeMap will be serializable only if the comparator is also serializable. As most comparators have little or no state, making them serializable is generally easy and good defensive programming.
- MapComparator.java:51, NP_EQUALS_SHOULD_HANDLE_NULL_ARGUMENT
NP: org.apache.ofbiz.base.util.collections.MapComparator.equals(Object) does not check for null argument
This implementation of equals(Object) violates the contract defined by java.lang.Object.equals() because it does not check for null being passed as the argument. All equals() methods should return false if passed a null value.
- MapComparator.java:51, HE_EQUALS_USE_HASHCODE
HE: org.apache.ofbiz.base.util.collections.MapComparator defines equals and uses Object.hashCode()
This class overrides equals(Object), but does not override hashCode(), and inherits the implementation of hashCode() from java.lang.Object (which returns the identity hash code, an arbitrary value assigned to the object by the VM). Therefore, the class is very likely to violate the invariant that equal objects must have equal hashcodes.

- MapContext.java:-1, CI_CONFUSED_INHERITANCE
CI: Class org.apache.ofbiz.base.util.collections.MapContext$ListSet is final but declares protected field org.apache.ofbiz.base.util.collections.MapContext$ListSet.listImpl
This class is declared to be final, but declares fields to be protected. Since the class is final, it can not be derived from, and the use of protected is confusing. The access modifier for the field should be changed to private or public to represent the true use for the field.
- MapContext.java:345, RI_REDUNDANT_INTERFACES
RI: Class org.apache.ofbiz.base.util.collections.MapContext$ListSet implements same interface as superclass
This class declares that it implements an interface that is also implemented by a superclass. This is redundant because once a superclass implements an interface, all subclasses by default also implement this interface. It may point out that the inheritance hierarchy has changed since this class was created, and consideration should be given to the ownership of the interface's implementation.
- ResourceBundleMapWrapper.java:-1, SE_BAD_FIELD
Se: Class org.apache.ofbiz.base.util.collections.ResourceBundleMapWrapper defines non-transient non-serializable instance field initialResourceBundle
This Serializable class defines a non-primitive instance field which is neither transient, Serializable, or java.lang.Object, and does not appear to implement the Externalizable interface or the readObject() and writeObject() methods. Objects of this class will not be deserialized correctly if a non-Serializable object is stored in this field.
- ResourceBundleMapWrapper.java:-1, SE_BAD_FIELD
Se: Class org.apache.ofbiz.base.util.collections.ResourceBundleMapWrapper defines non-transient non-serializable instance field rbmwStack
This Serializable class defines a non-primitive instance field which is neither transient, Serializable, or java.lang.Object, and does not appear to implement the Externalizable interface or the readObject() and writeObject() methods. Objects of this class will not be deserialized correctly if a non-Serializable object is stored in this field.
- ResourceBundleMapWrapper.java:-1, SE_BAD_FIELD
Se: Class org.apache.ofbiz.base.util.collections.ResourceBundleMapWrapper$InternalRbmWrapper defines non-transient non-serializable instance field resourceBundle
This Serializable class defines a non-primitive instance field which is neither transient, Serializable, or java.lang.Object, and does not appear to implement the Externalizable interface or the readObject() and writeObject() methods. Objects of this class will not be deserialized correctly if a non-Serializable object is stored in this field.

- ResourceBundleMapWrapper.java:223, RCN_REDUNDANT_NULLCHECK_OF_NONNULL_VALUE
RCN: Redundant nullcheck of java.util.ResourceBundle.getObject(String), which is known to be non-null in org.apache.ofbiz.base.util.collections.ResourceBundleMapWrapper$InternalRbmWrapper.containsKey(Object)
This method contains a redundant check of a known non-null value against the constant null.
