I’ve been following it for a white now (including two somehwat popular posts about drag and drop and about enums, back when those weren’t so popular..) and it keeps getting better and better. Recently, in version 2.1, they’ve added something called the RequestFactory, [...]]]> http://chaoticjava.com/posts/avoiding-getter-and-setter-pairs-in-gwt-requestfactory/feed/ 0 http://chaoticjava.com/posts/producer-consumer-model/ http://chaoticjava.com/posts/producer-consumer-model/#comments Fri, 29 Oct 2010 21:53:49 +0000 Aviad http://chaoticjava.com/?p=362 http://chaoticjava.com/posts/producer-consumer-model/feed/ 3 http://chaoticjava.com/posts/revival-of-the-yielder-project/ http://chaoticjava.com/posts/revival-of-the-yielder-project/#comments Sat, 08 Aug 2009 21:17:00 +0000 Aviad http://chaoticjava.com/?p=314 http://chaoticjava.com/posts/revival-of-the-yielder-project/feed/ 0 http://chaoticjava.com/posts/simple-solution-to-resource-collection/ http://chaoticjava.com/posts/simple-solution-to-resource-collection/#comments Mon, 03 Aug 2009 21:24:24 +0000 Aviad http://chaoticjava.com/?p=301 dzone_url = "http://chaoticjava.com/posts/simple-solution-to-resource-collection/";It’s called garbage collection, not resource collection! Java’s garbage collector has made life so easy for us developers that we sometimes confuse between deleting a reference, i.e. a task the GC does, and releasing a resource – a task the GC doesn’t do. That’s because the GC does something else for us called object finalization, [...]]]> http://chaoticjava.com/posts/simple-solution-to-resource-collection/feed/ 8 http://chaoticjava.com/posts/the-quiet-revolution-part-i-jsr-296/ http://chaoticjava.com/posts/the-quiet-revolution-part-i-jsr-296/#comments Fri, 02 Jan 2009 18:32:16 +0000 Aviad http://chaoticjava.com/?p=261 http://chaoticjava.com/posts/the-quiet-revolution-part-i-jsr-296/feed/ 4 http://chaoticjava.com/posts/jsr-292-first-draft-review/ http://chaoticjava.com/posts/jsr-292-first-draft-review/#comments Fri, 19 Dec 2008 18:51:08 +0000 Aviad http://chaoticjava.com/?p=249 http://chaoticjava.com/posts/jsr-292-first-draft-review/feed/ 2 http://chaoticjava.com/posts/buildxml-generator-for-eclipse/ http://chaoticjava.com/posts/buildxml-generator-for-eclipse/#comments Sat, 19 Jul 2008 21:01:22 +0000 Aviad http://chaoticjava.com/?p=238 dzone_url = "http://chaoticjava.com/posts/buildxml-generator-for-eclipse/";Know the feeling when you’re just about to release code to the public’s eye, and all you need to do is write that pesky build file? Even as I write it I feel it’s an understatement: the task of creating an ant build file can take a few good days out of anyone’s life, and even [...]]]> http://chaoticjava.com/posts/buildxml-generator-for-eclipse/feed/ 12 http://chaoticjava.com/posts/switch-by-class-type/ http://chaoticjava.com/posts/switch-by-class-type/#comments Sat, 24 May 2008 04:46:52 +0000 Aviad http://chaoticjava.com/?p=230 dzone_url = "http://chaoticjava.com/posts/switch-by-class-type/";Imagining a method which receives as a parameter a type Object instance and needs to perform some action according to its type is not difficult. In fact, there are several design patterns that, when used in combination, help solve just that. However, this post is about adding a new switch..case construct to prevent some boiler-plate [...]]]> http://chaoticjava.com/posts/switch-by-class-type/feed/ 10 http://chaoticjava.com/posts/exposing-collections-paranoia-vs-trust-approaches/ http://chaoticjava.com/posts/exposing-collections-paranoia-vs-trust-approaches/#comments Mon, 19 May 2008 06:17:35 +0000 Aviad http://chaoticjava.com/?p=236 dzone_url = "http://chaoticjava.com/posts/exposing-collections-paranoia-vs-trust-approaches/";Whenever a class in my model contains a collection which requires that particular care be taken with its items, there’s an internal debate regarding how to expose it to other classes. And with this, there are two major schools: one, the paranoia-based approach which doesn’t allow external code to touch the collection’s internal items and [...]]]> http://chaoticjava.com/posts/exposing-collections-paranoia-vs-trust-approaches/feed/ 16 http://chaoticjava.com/posts/giving-a-break-for-cleaner-code/ http://chaoticjava.com/posts/giving-a-break-for-cleaner-code/#comments Thu, 01 May 2008 05:42:35 +0000 Aviad http://chaoticjava.com/?p=226 dzone_url = "http://chaoticjava.com/posts/giving-a-break-for-cleaner-code/";Time for some refreshing the memory with a Java language feature probably few use, and maybe for a good reason.
