Java's version 1.5 introduced more of features to help to deal with multi-threading programs. One of these features is a class which allows a main thread to wait another threads before continue. The name of this class is CountDownLatch.
Locking is very useful for the applications based on concurrency. Thanks to it, we can avoid the collision being a results from simultaneous updates to the same data by two or more different users.
There are two ways to handle persistence in Hibernate: session and entity manager. Through this article, we'll see the differences between this two mechanisms.
When user can't interact with the application, he loses the interest for it. It's why forms and other input methods are a useful to satisfy the final user demand. Play Framework also supports operations on forms, as generation from POJO or dynamic validation with annotations.
In our's Play application, user can navigate on the site, add several products to his shopping cart and, at the end, terminate his shopping. As in all "classical" web applications, in Play this persistence is possible thanks to sessions.
Java 7 was released on July 28, 2011. But they're still the places where we don't use all features of this version (because of installed 6 version or no budget to make the migration). One of these Java 7 elements which can improve code readability is, try-with-resources instruction.
Spring beans, like the ones from JavaBeans, use the scopes. We've already seen two of them, singleton and prototype. It's the right time to discover 3 new scopes.
E-commerce store with static URLs would kill even the most powerful server. It's why, to resolve dynamic behavior, we use HTTP parameters. GET ones are particularly useful.
The next step in Play Framework discovery is the work with database data. Thanks to it, we can use centralized and dynamically managed data.
When we build webapps, we can think that all of them can be constructed with Spring framework and its related projects. It's right, but which programmer is satisfied by knowing only one framework or only one programming language ? It's why we'll explore here another way to deploying web applications, the deploying with Play Framework.
Another interesting feature of Google Guava is Java's primitves support which allows us to work easiest with booleans, ints, longs or even bytes, signed as well as unsigned.
Have you ever asked you about @Autowired annotation in Spring ? Frequently used to facilitate Dependency Injection, an whole mechanism is hidden under this process.
Previously we approached the idea of Spring validation with annotations. We mentioned several lines about @ModelAttribute annotations. But it's still not sufficient to understand well this concept.
Validation features in Spring are universal. You can use annotation or make your own validator and bind it into the request. This article will focus on the first solution.
Standard way of catching HTTP request in Java's web applications is the use of filters. But they are reserved only for webapps. Spring introduces a new way to do it, more general, called handler interceptors.
Central piece of Spring web application is DispatcherServlet. It's a central point of entry for all incoming requests. But it can't do nothing without another important concept, handlers.
The master piece of Spring web framework architecture is dispatcher servlet. We'll focus on it in this article.
Using Spring Security is like the blessing. Everything is coded and you only need to implement it correctly. But always is good to know what we are implementing. This is the main purpose of this article, to understand how one of particular Spring Security modes, ACL, works.
External libraries are always helpful. They can help to resolve many "hot" programming problems, but also learn us the good rules of coding. One of this type of libraries in Java world is Google Guava.
One of the most used objects in Java is String. This omnipresence makes that String is managed a little bit differently than other objects in Java.
