My Scala habits have made me create a stupid bug related to Java enums. In Scala, the concept of case classes is very neat and recently, I just confused enum in Java with what I sometimes do in Scala case classes.
I wrote an enum with a setter like:
public static enum BlackVariateType {
V0,
ZERO_DERIVATIVE;
private double volSquare;
public double getBlackVolatilitySquare() {
return volSquare;
}
public void setBlackVolatilitySquare(double volSquare) {
this.volSquare = volSquare;
}
}
Here, calling setBlackVolatilitySquare will override any previous value, and thus, if several parts are calling it with different values, it will be a mess as there is only a single instance.
I am not sure if there is actually one good use case to have a setter on an enum. This sounds like a very dangerous practice in general. Member variables allowed should be only final.
