I have the following (doctored) class in a system I'm working on and Findbugs is generating a SE_BAD_FIELD warning and I'm trying to understand why it would say that before I fix it in the way that I thought I would. The reason I'm confused is because the description would seem to indicate that I had used no other non-serializable instance fields in the class but bar.model.Foo is also not serializable and used in the exact same way (as far as I can tell) but Findbugs generates no warning for it.
import bar.model.Foo;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.List;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
public class Demo implements Serializable {
private final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(this.getClass());
private final File file;
private final List<Foo> originalFoos;
private Integer count;
private int primitive = 0;
public Demo() {
for (Foo foo : originalFoos) {
this.logger.debug(...);
}
}
...
}
My initial blush at a solution is to get a logger reference from the factory right as I use it:
public DispositionFile() {
Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(this.getClass());
for (Foo foo : originalFoos) {
this.logger.debug(...);
}
}
That doesn't seem particularly efficient, though.
Thoughts?
