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

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

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-965?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Andre Diermann updated LANG-965:
--------------------------------
    Attachment: commons-lang-965.patch

Ok, after some further analysis my understanding is as follows:

o accessibility is changed explicitly in
   - {{readField(final Field field, final Object target, final boolean forceAccess)}} and
   - {{writeField(final Field field, final Object target, final Object value, final boolean forceAccess)}}

o furthermore, accessibility may be changed implicitly in every read/write method which needs to resolve a field by name first, when calling
   - {{getField(final Class<?> cls, final String fieldName, final boolean forceAccess)}} or
   - {{getDeclaredField(final Class<?> cls, final String fieldName, final boolean forceAccess)}}

So my proposal is to have only one place where accessibility is changed, which will simplify restoring of accessibility a lot. Therefore I added two methods for the internal resolution of fields, which do not modify accessibility. I made those two methods private, so public API is 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.
