Ross Laidlaw updated OODT-741:
------------------------------
Summary: Should the elementMap, subToSuperMap and productTypeElementMap
fields in XMLValidationLayer be non-static? (was: Should the elementMap,
subToSuperMap and productTypeElementMap fields in XMLValidationLayer be static?)

> Key: OODT-741
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-741
> Project: OODT
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: file manager
> Affects Versions: 0.7
> Reporter: Ross Laidlaw
> Assignee: Ross Laidlaw
> Labels: filemgr
> Fix For: 0.7
>
>
> The TestXMLValidationLayer#testGetElements test currently fails when doing a
> full build/test of the File Manager component, with the following result:
> {panel}
> Results :
> Failed tests:
>
> testGetElements(org.apache.oodt.cas.filemgr.validation.TestXMLValidationLayer):
> There aren't exactly 4 elements in the test samples! expected:<4> but
> was:<11>
> {panel}
> This happens because the elementMap field in the XMLValidationLayer class is
> static (i.e. a class variable), so any data assigned to it persists between
> objects. When new data is written to the elementMap it is added or
> overwritten depending on the value of the String key, but data isn't removed
> from it when new XMLValidationLayer objects are created.
> I've experimented by removing the 'static' modifier from the elementMap,
> subToSuperMap and productTypeElementMap fields. This causes all
> TestXMLValidationLayer tests to pass and does not seem to affect any other
> File Manager tests (all other tests pass).
> Would this be an acceptable change or will it prevent other things from
> working?
