-------------------------------------------
Summary: Methods returning array may expose internal representation
Key: NUTCH-2812
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-2812
Project: Nutch
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.17
Reporter: Lewis John McGibbney
Assignee: Lewis John McGibbney
Fix For: 1.18
Returning a reference to a mutable object value stored in one of the object's
fields exposes the internal representation of the object. If instances are
accessed by untrusted code, and unchecked changes to the mutable object would
compromise security or other important properties, you will need to do
something different. Returning a new copy of the object is better approach in
many situations.
For example org.apache.nutch.fetcher.FetchNode.getOutlinks() may expose
internal representation by returning FetchNode.outlinks
