------------------------------------
Planning to delete Entities.
> Entities - missing final modifiers; thread-safety issues
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LANG-506
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-506
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Sebb
> Fix For: 3.0
>
> Attachments: entities-506-1.patch, entities-506-2.patch
>
>
> Some fields in Entities are used as constants but they are not final, so can
> be changed accidentally or maliciously:
> ISO8859_1_ARRAY_LENGTH
> HTML40_ARRAY_LENGTH
> Entities.map should also be final
> Entities.LookupEntityMap.LOOKUP_TABLE_SIZE should be final
> Entities.MapIntMap.mapValueToName and mapNameToValue would benefit from being
> made final.
> This would require a constructor to be added that can initialise the Maps.
> LookupEntityMap is not thread-safe - it creates the lookup table without
> synchronisation, and mutates it after initial creation.
> Entities.ArrayEntityMap.growBy should be final
> As far as possible, all instance fields to be made final.
> Patch to follow
