[jira] Resolved: (AXIS2-241) AXIOM exposes interface functions that should be implementation details
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-241?page=all ]
Davanum Srinivas resolved AXIS2-241:
------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Extracted those methods into 2 internal interfaces OMNodeEx and OMContainerEx and typecasted whereever needed.
> AXIOM exposes interface functions that should be implementation details
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AXIS2-241
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-241
> Project: Apache Axis 2.0 (Axis2)
> Type: Improvement
> Components: om
> Versions: 0.91
> Reporter: Eric Johnson
>
> The OMNode interface includes functions like:
> public void setNextSibling(OMNode node);
> public void setPreviousSibling(OMNode previousSibling);
> public void setParent(OMContainer element);
> public void setComplete(boolean state);
> public void setType(int nodeType) throws OMException;
> OMContainer includes:
> public void setComplete(boolean state);
> public void setFirstChild(OMNode omNode);
> The availability of these functions in the interface means that clients can accidentally or intentionally misbehave and corrupt the data structures.
> For example, intentional corruption:
> OMNode next = om.getNextSibling();
> om.detach();
> next.setPreviousSibling(om);
> Or the accidental:
> OMElement parent = theParent;
> OMNode lastChild = parent.getLastChild();
> lastChild.setNextSibling(theNewSibling); // you might reasonably think that this will insert into parent!
> Where possible, these functions ought to be defined in a package visible interface particular to the implementation package, so that only the implementation can alter crucial details that affect the integrity of the tree structure.
