[jira] Commented: (VFS-336) AbstractRandomAccessContent.mode is never used

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

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-336?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12966850#action_12966850 ] 

Ralph Goers commented on VFS-336:
---------------------------------

I'm not sure I even understand the point of the mode. The RandomAccessContent interface doesn't have any methods for writing so I don't know what would use it.

> The mode field in AbstractRandomAccessContent is never used.
> The field is an enum RandomAccessMode with values READ and READWRITE, so one would expect the mode to be checked by the concrete subclasses.
> The field could be made protected to allow subclasses to use it.
> Or perhaps protected checkRead/checkWrite methods could be added which throw an Exception if the operation is not permitted
