• GenericEngineFactory.java:67, REC_CATCH_EXCEPTION
  REC: Exception is caught when Exception is not thrown in org.apache.ofbiz.service.engine.GenericEngineFactory.getGenericEngine(String)

This method uses a try-catch block that catches Exception objects, but Exception is not thrown within the try block, and RuntimeException is not explicitly caught. It is a common bug pattern to say try

{ ... } catch (Exception e) { something } as a shorthand for catching a number of types of exception each of whose catch blocks is identical, but this construct also accidentally catches RuntimeException as well, masking potential bugs.

A better approach is to either explicitly catch the specific exceptions that are thrown, or to explicitly catch RuntimeException exception, rethrow it, and then catch all non-Runtime Exceptions, as shown below:

try { ... } catch (RuntimeException e) { throw e; } catch (Exception e) { ... deal with all non-runtime exceptions ... }

- GroovyEngine.java:-1, CI_CONFUSED_INHERITANCE
CI: Class org.apache.ofbiz.service.engine.GroovyEngine is final but declares protected field org.apache.ofbiz.service.engine.GroovyEngine.EMPTY_ARGS

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.

- HttpEngine.java:64, REC_CATCH_EXCEPTION
REC: Exception is caught when Exception is not thrown in org.apache.ofbiz.service.engine.HttpEngine.runSync(String, ModelService, Map)

This method uses a try-catch block that catches Exception objects, but Exception is not thrown within the try block, and RuntimeException is not explicitly caught. It is a common bug pattern to say try { ... }

catch (Exception e)

{ something } as a shorthand for catching a number of types of exception each of whose catch blocks is identical, but this construct also accidentally catches RuntimeException as well, masking potential bugs.

A better approach is to either explicitly catch the specific exceptions that are thrown, or to explicitly catch RuntimeException exception, rethrow it, and then catch all non-Runtime Exceptions, as shown below:

try { ... } catch (RuntimeException e) { throw e; } catch (Exception e) { ... deal with all non-runtime exceptions ... }

REC: Exception is caught when Exception is not thrown in org.apache.ofbiz.service.engine.HttpEngine.httpEngine(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse)

This method uses a try-catch block that catches Exception objects, but Exception is not thrown within the try block, and RuntimeException is not explicitly caught. It is a common bug pattern to say try { ... } catch (Exception e) { something }

- HttpEngine.java:185, DM_DEFAULT_ENCODING
Dm: Found reliance on default encoding in org.apache.ofbiz.service.engine.HttpEngine.httpEngine(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse): String.getBytes()

Found a call to a method which will perform a byte to String (or String to byte) conversion, and will assume that the default platform encoding is suitable. This will cause the application behaviour to vary between platforms. Use an alternative API and specify a charset name or Charset object explicitly.

- SOAPClientEngine.java:135, REC_CATCH_EXCEPTION
REC: Exception is caught when Exception is not thrown in org.apache.ofbiz.service.engine.SOAPClientEngine.serviceInvoker(ModelService, Map)

This method uses a try-catch block that catches Exception objects, but Exception is not thrown within the try block, and RuntimeException is not explicitly caught. It is a common bug pattern to say try { ... } catch (Exception e) { something } as a shorthand for catching a number of types of exception each of whose catch blocks is identical, but this construct also accidentally catches RuntimeException as well, masking potential bugs.

{ throw e; }

catch (Exception e) {
... deal with all non-runtime exceptions ...
