"Since 1994, the Java programming language evolved and became a valid tool to develop reliable and performant server applications as opposed to just applets and client applications. The major disadvantage of the Java platform is that still today the only portable way to start a Java application relies on a single point of entry: the public static void main(String[]) method. Having a single-point of entry is a valid solution for client applications, where interactively a user can command to the application to quit (which can terminate the Virtual Machine process at calling the System.exit(int) method), but in those cases where the application is not interactive (server applications) there is currently no portable way to notify the Virtual Machine of its imminent shutdown. A server application written in Java might have to perform several tasks before being able to shutdown the Virtual Machine process. For example in the case of a Servlet container, before the VM process is shut down, sessions might need to be serialized to disk, and web applications need to be destroyed. One common solution to this problem is to create (for example) a ServerSocket and wait for a particular message to be issued. When the message is received, all operations required to shut down the server applications are performed and at the end the System.exit method is called to terminate the Virtual Machine process. This method however, has several disadvantages and risks: In case of a system-wide shutdown, the Virtual Machine process may be shut down directly by the operating system without notifying the running server application. If an attacker finds out the shutdown message to send to the server and discovers a way to send this message, he can easily interrupt the server's operation, bypassing all the security restrictions implemented in the operating system. Most multi-user operating systems already have a way in which server applications are started and stopped. Under Unix based

The instanceof operator is used to test whether the object is an instance of the specified type (class or subclass or interface). The instanceof operator is also known as type comparison operator because it compares the instance with type. It returns either true or false.

This video explains about the increment, decrement, modulus and compound assignment operators under the Arithmetic Operators Group. It discusses few examples using these operators.

Operators in Java. An operator is a special type of symbol that is used to perform operations.Let's see the precedence of operators in java.

Package java.util.concurrent.atomic Description A small toolkit of classes that support lock-free thread-safe programming on single variables. In essence, the classes in this package extend the notion of volatile values, fields, and array elements to those that also provide an atomic conditional update operation of the form: boolean compareAndSet(expectedValue, updateValue);

"Unfortunately, in a distributed world, SOA or otherwise, it is rarely a good idea to use atomic short lived transactions (see the Cross-Service Transactions anti-pattern in chapter 10 for more details). Indeed, the fact that cross service transactions are discourages is one of the main reasons we would to consider using the Saga pattern in the first place. One of the obvious shortcomings of Sagas is that you cannot perform rollbacks. The two conditions mentioned above, locking and isolation do not hold anymore so you cannot provide the needed guarantee. Still, since interactions, and especially long running ones, can fail or be canceled Sagas offer the notion of Compensations. Compensations are cool; we can't have rollbacks so instead we will reverse the interaction's operation and have a pseudo rollback. If we added one hundred (dollars/units/whatnot) during the original activity we'll just subtract the same 100 in the compensation. Easy, right?"

Spring Security is a powerful and highly customizable authentication and access-control framework. It is the de-facto standard for securing Spring-based applications Spring Security is one of the most mature and widely used Spring projects. Founded in 2003 and actively maintained by SpringSource since, today it is used to secure numerous demanding environments including government agencies, military applications and central banks. It is released under an Apache 2.0 license so you can confidently use it in your projects. Spring Security is also easy to learn, deploy and manage. Our dedicated security namespace provides directives for most common operations, allowing complete application security in just a few lines of XML. We also offer complete tooling integration in SpringSource Tool Suite, plus our Spring Roo rapid application development framework. The Spring Community Forum and SpringSource offer a variety of free and paid support services. Spring Security is also integrated with many other Spring technologies, including Spring Web Flow, Spring Web Services, SpringSource Enterprise, SpringSource Application Management Suite and SpringSource tc Server.

Hades is a utility library to work with Data Access Objects implemented with Spring and JPA. The main goal is to ease the development and operation of a data access layer in application

This article is about how to setup remote debugging in eclipse which is pretty important for development across operating system.

The goal of the Eclipse Scout project is making it easy to build distributed enterprise applications based on the Eclipse platform. It consists of a runtime framework providing transparent service communication between the client and backend part and is shipped with a rich set of common user interface components. The user interface is not built for a particular rendering technology but it encapsulates the core functionality into a headless model. GUI factories are available for rendering the client model into a particular target UI platform. SWT and Swing are supported out of the box and an AJAX GUI factory could be easily added. Developing Scout applications is supported by the Scout SDK, a plug-in set built on top of Eclipse PDE and Eclipse JDT. The Scout SDK works directly on the bare Java resources and assists the development task by providing an augmented view on the underlying Java code. Additionally, it comes with a rich set of wizards and operations for modifying the Scout application project just by editing the underlying Java code. There is no meta-data required. Hence a developer can switch between editing resources using Eclipse's standard editors and leveraging the features of Scout SDK at any point in time. Eclipse Scout can be used to create multi-tier client/server applications, standalone client applications or OSGi-based server applications. Basically, there are three main advantages when choosing Scout as your framework for building such applications. First, the Scout runtime is service oriented by design. Almost every functionality is provided as an OSGi service. Every OSGi bundle may make use of them. Second, Scout provides a rich set of UI elements being uncoupled from a particular GUI technology. And third, building distributed client/server applications is as easy as if both parts would run within the same local JVM.

SQL Workbench/J is a free, DBMS-independent, cross-platform SQL query tool. It is written in Java and thus it should run on any operating system that provides a Java Runtime Environment. It's main focus is on running SQL scripts (either interactively or as a batch) and export/import features. Graphical query building or more advanced DBA tasks are not the focus and are not planned Current stable version: Build 110 (2011-02-13) Current development build: 110.5 ( 2011-04-25)

Querydsl is a framework which enables the construction of type-safe SQL-like queries for multiple backends including JPA, JDO and SQL in Java. Instead of writing queries as inline strings or externalizing them into XML files they are constructed via a fluent API. Code completion in IDE (all properties, methods and operations can be expanded in your favorite Java IDE) Almost no syntactically invalid queries allowed (type-safe on all levels) Domain types and properties can be referenced safely (no Strings involved!) Adopts better to refactoring changes in domain types Incremental query definition is easier Querydsl is licensed under the LGPL 2.1 license.

Do you Want To know About method Overloading in Java? We provide you best notes on method overloading with great examples which can easily understandable for everyone.There are two ways to overload the method.

If a class have multiple methods by same name but different parameters, it is known as Method Overloading. If we have to perform only one operation, having same name of the methods increases the readability of the program.
