返回对存储在对象的一个​​字段中的可变对象值的引用会公开对象的内部表示

我在以下代码的代码上运行checkstyle时遇到此错误:

@Override
public String[] getDescriptions() {
    return DESCRIPTIONS;
}

但是DESCRIPTIONS IS NOT可变.它被定义为:

private static final String[] DESCRIPTIONS = new String[NUM_COLUMNS];

static {
   // In a loop assign values to the array.
   for (int i = 0; i < NUM_COLUMNS; ++i) {
       DESCRIPTIONS[i] = "Some value";
   }
}

这是完整的错误消息:

"Returning a reference to a mutable object value stored in one 
 of the object's fields exposes the internal representation of
 the object. If instances are accessed by untrusted code, and 
 unchecked changes to the mutable object would compromise security
 or other important properties, you will need to do something 
 different. Returning a new copy of the object is better approach
 in many situations."
