[jira] [Comment Edited] (LANG-965) FieldUtils methods leak accessible flags

["Sebb (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-965?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14124445#comment-14124445 ]

Possible simplification:

{code}
+        final boolean originalAccessibility = field.isAccessible();
         if (forceAccess && !field.isAccessible()) {
{code}

could be written as

{code}
+        final boolean originalAccessibility = field.isAccessible();
         if (forceAccess && !originalAccessibility) {
{code}

Alternatively, just set a flag when accessibility is forced:

{code}
boolean wasInaccessible = false;
if (forceAccess && !field.isAccessible()) {
    wasInaccessible = true;
   ...
}

...
     finally {
         if (wasInaccessible) {
            field.setAccessible(false);
        }
     }
{code}

This avoids a redundant setAccessible() call where the accessibility was not changed

> When various FieldUtils methods are called the accessible is set to true but never reset to false. This is side-effect should be cleaned up.
> This makes a mess of the object model which represents the class meta data.
