Issue 18420: ModifiableInstanceHandle should be removed (dds-psm-java-rtf)
Source: ADLINK Technology Ltd (Mr. Julien Enoch, julien.enoch(at)adlinktech.com)
Nature: Revision
Severity: Significant
Summary: The ModifiableInstanceHandle was not removed along with all other modifiable types.
As such it should be removed for consistency, useability and performances.


Specificaly the following methods should be removed:
 - ServiceEnvironment.newInstanceHandle()
 - DataReader.lookupInstance(ModifiableInstanceHandle handle, TYPE keyHolder)
 - DataWriter.lookupInstance(ModifiableInstanceHandle handle, TYPE keyHolder)


And the following method should be modified to return InstanceHandle:
 - Sample.getInstanceHandle()
 - Sample.getPublicationHandle()

Notice: the returning ModifialbeInstanceHandle forces defensive copying with obvious consequences in term of performances.
