RE: [Springframework-developer] removing ObjectArrayUtils

[<jue...@we...>]

I've just checked the size in the jar file: It's just 8 KB there. =
Obviously, there's a lot of air in the class ;-)

Some more statistics: It's by far our largest class file with ~1900 LOC =
in 58 KB (BeanWrapperImpl is next with ~900 LOC in 21 KB), amounting for =
~25% of the uncompressed spring-beans.jar (230 KB in total). That's what =
led me to question its role.

As I personally don't mind new Object() {...}, I probably won't use =
ObjectArrayUtils myself, but I can live with 8 KB in the =
spring-beans.jar file. I just don't particularly like such large helper =
classes... Hopefully noone ever suggests to extend the number of =
signatures to all permutations for 20 arguments ;-)

I vote to keep it. I think it's a pain to have to write such methods =
(new
Object[] {whatever}). It is unfortunate about the footprint, maybe we =
could
have a distribution without it?

Also it has 100% test coverage, so we know all those methods work.

Rod

Does anyone mind if I remove ObjectArrayUtils from com.interface21.util? =
I
don't really like its approach over having dozens of overloaded toArray
methods that take all kinds of arguments and convert them to an Object
array. What's so bad about

  new Object[] {"bla", "blabla"}

or

  new Object[] {new Integer(1), new Integer(2)}

after all? Is ObjectArrayUtils' syntax really significantly nicer, i.e.

  ObjectArrayUtils.toArray("bla", "blabla");

or

  ObjectArrayUtils.toArray(1, 2);

Given that it has to overload such an arbitrary number of argument
signatures, I don't consider that worth it. And let's not forget that
ObjectArrayUtils.java has 74 KB (!), the class file still 58 KB. I vote =
for
removing it, any application code that uses it (if any at all) is very =
easy
to convert (see above).
