"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

"LMAX aims to be the fastest trading platform in the world. Clearly, in order to achieve this we needed to do something special to achieve very low-latency and high-throughput with our Java platform. Performance testing showed that using queues to pass data between stages of the system was introducing latency, so we focused on optimising this area. "

The NEWS analysis specifies that, "Copyrighting a code that performs a special function is one side; it's other side that the proprietary metadata designs the program code and describes what it is suppose to perform."

Good and quick tutorial on how to find memory usage in java with example. step by step guide to get free memory, max memory and total memory from JVM. memory usage is critical for performance point of view

"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?"

There is given many features of java. They are also called java buzzwords. 1.Simple 2.Object-oriented 3.Platform independent 4.Secured 5.Robust 6.Architecture neutral 7.Portable 8.Dynamic 9.Interpreted 10.High Performance 11.Multithreaded 12.Distributed Simple Java is simple in the sense that: syntax is based on C++ (so easier for programmers to learn it after C++).

From a technical standpoint Ext GWT and SmartGWT are quite equal apart from the fact that Smart has more to offer on the server side. Vaadin with its complete different apprach (not from the programming style but from runtime behavior) needs to be compared in a different fashion. Things like GUI responsiveness and overall performance must be carefully checked. But on the pro side you have a very small js client with vaadin which results in fast startup in the browser. On the other hand, our product is a business product and we are planing to rewrite the AdminConsole. This is something that will be used in intranets in 95% of the time. It doesnt make much of a differnece if you load 100k or 1Mb from inside the LAN.

"Welcome to the home of Spring, the leading platform to build and run enterprise Java applications. Led and sustained by SpringSource, Spring delivers significant benefits for many projects, increasing development productivity and runtime performance while improving test coverage and application quality."

Special thanks to Piero Sartini who came up with this alternative. It is basically the same as the previous alternative, but it uses the new JEE6 Context and Dependency Injection (CDI) and session scoped beans instead of EJBs. This alternative should have better performance than using EJBs. Instead of annotating the Vaadin application as a stateful session bean, it should be annotated using the @SessionScoped annotation, like so:

Squill is a slick internal DSL for writing SQL queries in pure Java. It uses the database metadata and generics to catch as many errors as possible during compilation and is almost completely typesafe. At the same time it is designed to allow everything SQL allows you to do, exactly the way SQL is meant to do it. This means that you're encouraged to select only the data you need and no hidden queries are generated for you, leaving you in full control of the query performance. Squill also supports database-specific extensions, allowing you to both use advanced features and fully tweak your queries.

XStream is a simple library to serialize objects to XML and back again. Features Ease of use. A high level facade is supplied that simplifies common use cases. No mappings required. Most objects can be serialized without need for specifying mappings. Performance. Speed and low memory footprint are a crucial part of the design, making it suitable for large object graphs or systems with high message throughput. Clean XML. No information is duplicated that can be obtained via reflection. This results in XML that is easier to read for humans and more compact than native Java serialization. Requires no modifications to objects. Serializes internal fields, including private and final. Supports non-public and inner classes. Classes are not required to have default constructor. Full object graph support. Duplicate references encountered in the object-model will be maintained. Supports circular references. Integrates with other XML APIs. By implementing an interface, XStream can serialize directly to/from any tree structure (not just XML). Customizable conversion strategies. Strategies can be registered allowing customization of how particular types are represented as XML. Error messages. When an exception occurs due to malformed XML, detailed diagnostics are provided to help isolate and fix the problem. Alternative output format. The modular design allows other output formats. XStream ships currently with JSON support and morphing.

JRockit is an alternative to the standard Sun/Oracle/OpenJDK JVM. It was developed by BEA, primarily to provide better performance for users of BEA's Websphere. JRockit was previously a commercial product. This article explains that JRockit is now free, released under the Binary Code License - the same license Sun used to publish the J2SDK under.

When developing a mobile application, you need not focus on the limitations or capabilities of different browsers, as Trinidad enables you to develop applications that function properly on different browser types. The Trinidad renderer ensures that the target browser can consume contents correctly. It handles the variations in both browser implementations of HTML, JavaScript, CSS, DOM, XMLHttpRequest and system performance. For example, if a browser does not support XMLHttpRequest and is incapable of posting a partial page request to a server, support for AJAX enables the application to revert automatically to a full page submit so that the same page functions whether the browser supports XMLHttpRequest or not. Furthermore, if the target browser does no support JavaScript Trinidad will automatically render contents that work on HTML by removing all dependencies on JavaScript.

In den letzten Teilen der Serie wurden bereits viele Neuerungen des JSR-286 vorgestellt und an konkreten Beispielen demonstriert. In diesem Teil wird der Schwerpunkt darauf gelegt, wie die entstandene Ausgabe gecached werden kann, um auch das Thema Performance nicht aus den Augen zu verlieren. Ein Überblick über die Annotation-Unterstützung des JSR-286 rundet die Einführung neuer Features ab.

Lucene is an Open Source, mature and high-performance Java search engine. It is highly flexible, and scalable from hundreds to millions of documents. Luke is a handy development and diagnostic tool, which accesses already existing Lucene indexes and allows you to display and modify their content in several ways: * browse by document number, or by term * view documents / copy to clipboard * retrieve a ranked list of most frequent terms * execute a search, and browse the results * analyze search results * selectively delete documents from the index * reconstruct the original document fields, edit them and re-insert to the index * optimize indexes * and much more... Recent versions of Luke are also extensible through plugins and scripting. I started this project because I needed a tool like this. I decided to distribute it under Open Source license to express my gratitude to the Lucene team for creating such a high-quality product. Lucene is one of the landmark proofs that Open Source paradigm can result in high-quality and free products.

XOM™ is a new XML object model. It is an open source (LGPL), tree-based API for processing XML with Java that strives for correctness, simplicity, and performance, in that order.
