- Simplify request processing with a wait-notify technique
- Employing multithreading programming techniques results in significant improvements in application performance and functionality. Java has enhanced and simplified operations with threads but left other issues to developers. One such issue is an object's wait-notify procedure, which is important for applications that require waiting for certain conditions to occur. Here's a...

- Save time and prevent errors by converting data to XML format
- You often need to deal with data stored or transferred in various formats, ranging from comma- or tab-separated files to more complicated formats, each needing an appropriate parser. This can slow down development and create a source of errors. In addition, there is no guarantee that your parser will convert...

- Enhance persistent application properties in your Java application
- Most software applications require a persistent set of properties for normal execution. The Properties class in the java.util package is often used for such storage. It provides a convenient mechanism for storing properties. But sometimes you need a more complicated property file structure, which you can achieve by expanding the...

- Build a fine-grained, event-based framework for your applications
- The most important aspects of the framework are flexibility and extendibility to satisfy software designers' demands stemming from business rules. Thus, the framework provides both blocking and nonblocking event notifications where events are delivered according to logical conditions called further as predicates. Both mechanisms are transparent for the developer and...

- How to effectively handle long-running tasks in Java
- In Java, you frequently need a class that listens to some events and processes some data during the application's lifetime. The well-documented Thread API offers the framework to make this happen.Quite often, you need a class to perform tasks like data processing, listening to events, or checking another class' activities...

- Gain speed with the object data holder framework
- The object data holder framework approach to object-oriented development helps prevent data errors and eases maintenance. The data holder interface is the key.When building an application, you need to follow a principle of object orientation—encapsulation, also known as data hiding. The more data you operate with, the more objects you...
