Ranjan George updated COLLECTIONS-697:
--------------------------------------
Summary: JavaDoc for FixedSizeList should warn that modifying underlying
list is still allowed and is not prevented (was: JavaDoc for FixedSizeList
should warn modifying the underlying list is still allowed and is not prevented)
> JavaDoc for FixedSizeList should warn that modifying underlying list is still
> allowed and is not prevented

> Key: COLLECTIONS-697
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-697
> Project: Commons Collections
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Ranjan George
> Priority: Major
>
> I just noticed that it is not explicitly mentioned in the JavaDoc that
> modifying the underlying list of a FixedSizeList would actually land up
> modifying the list of the constructed FixedSizeList. Not sure if this was by
> design, but at the very list I think the JavaDoc should caution against this.
> Following is a test case that written that you could use to check this.
> {code:java}
> public void testAllowsMutationOfUnderlyingCollection() {
> List<String> decoratedList = new ArrayList<>();
> decoratedList.add("item 1");
> decoratedList.add("item 2");
> //
> FixedSizeList<String> fixedSizeList =
> FixedSizeList.fixedSizeList(decoratedList);
> int sizeBefore = fixedSizeList.size();
> //
> boolean changed = decoratedList.add("New Value");
> Assert.assertTrue(changed);
> //
> Assert.assertEquals("Modifying an the underlying list is allowed",
> sizeBefore + 1, fixedSizeList.size());
> }
> {code}
