Enum Clones

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<Clones>

com.oracle.sites.visitors.api.utils.Clones

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<Clones>

public enum Clones
extends Enum<Clones>

Making clones for mutable objects to avoid security issues with the malicious code.
If instances are accessed by untrusted code, then unchecked changes to the mutable object would compromise security or other important properties.
Returning/storing (in getters/setters) a new copy of the mutable object (internal representation of the object) is a better approach in many situations.

Method Detail

values

public static Clones[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (Clones c : Clones.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static Clones valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

clone

clone.

Parameters:

stringArray - an array of String objects.

Returns:

an array of String objects.

clone

public static byte[] clone(byte[] byteArray)

clone.

Parameters:

byteArray - an array of byte.

Returns:

an array of byte.

clone

public static int[] clone(int[] intArray)

clone.

Parameters:

intArray - an array of int.

Returns:

an array of int.

clone

public static Long[] clone(Long[] longArray)

clone.

Parameters:

longArray - an array of Long objects.

Returns:

an array of Long objects.

clone

public static Date clone(Date date)

clone.

Parameters:

date - a Date object.

Returns:

a Date object.
