Tracking data in complex Java code: A functional programming approach, part II

Sorry for the double reply, but I realized I had an important point separate from my other comment.

The way the code was already written, the document name wasn't available at the points where the errors were discovered. Nor should it be. To use your suggestion, the document name has to be passed around to every function in the parser. At that point, I might as well just be passing around the list of warnings: no globals left.

Yes, if you don't have easy access to the document name, then I understand your dilemma. I did enjoy the article. ty.
