ExcessiveParameterList

ExcessiveParameterList

Methods with numerous parameters are a challenge to maintain, especially if most of them share the same datatype. These situations usually denote the need for new objects to wrap the numerous parameters.
This rule is defined by the following Java class: net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.rule.codesize.ExcessiveParameterListRule
Example(s):



public void addPerson(		// too many arguments liable to be mixed up
	int birthYear, int birthMonth, int birthDate, int height, int weight, int ssn) {

	. . . .
}
 
public void addPerson(		// preferred approach
	Date birthdate, BodyMeasurements measurements, int ssn) {

	. . . .
}
