Bad Java code with good intentions
My friend Deepak sent me a real-life example of the following Java code. Let's give the developer the credit of following defensive coding techniques. [Rather than calling him a dumb-a$$]
Sathya improved on it by adding checks
So let's work on this some more
Now this is open to all to further obfuscate.
How complicated can you make one line of code?
String flashPath = (String)request.getAttribute("flashPath");
String flashPathPath = flashPath.toString();
Sathya improved on it by adding checks
String flashPath = (String)request.getAttribute("flashPath");
If (flashPath instance of java.lang.String){
String flashPathPath = flashPath.toString();
}
So let's work on this some more
String flashPath = (String)request.getAttribute("flashPath");
If (flashPath instance of java.lang.String){
try{
String flashPathPath = (String) flashPath.toString(); //Let's cast it once more to be sure, if it escaped the first time, it'll surely get caught here.
}
catch (ClassCastException e)
{
// Don’t cast it
String flashPathPath = flashPath.toString();
}
}
Now this is open to all to further obfuscate.
