Java, JSP, Servlet, JDBC - Back To The Basics Part 2

January 5th, 2006 I haven't taken the decision lightly. After due process and due consideration of all factors I decided I am going to shun all established Java frameworks and go back to basics for my next project.

March 28th, 2006 Previously I had provided the gist of how to access MS Access database from JDBC using JDBC-ODBC bridge. Today I will elaborate on that and provide you with two sample classes.

February 3rd, 2005 Target Audience Java/JSP developers on Tomcat and Application Server administrators. Problem Tomcat 5.5 (unlike Tomcat 5.0 and versions below) comes with Eclipse JDT compiler enabled by default for JSP compilation.

August 16th, 2005 Back to The POJO days and lots of goodies scheduled with Java Enterprise Edition 5.

December 11th, 2004 Using php 5.x is not documented in the manual, there are lots of questions with few answers, redundant hints etc. Even php 4.x users will benefit from this as it shows how to enable php only in a single web application, instead of all web applications as all the existing docs state. Enjoy!

September 23rd, 2009 With Apache Tomcat developers can enable PHP only in one web application and run it globally for all applications under tomcat. Generally, PHP is said to have several orders of magnitude more open source code and projects.

May 3rd, 2006 Here is a list of top 10 java features I constantly use and highly recommend; features which makes Java great as a language and platform. JSP & Servlets - Most of java development today is arguably done on JSP & Servlets.

July 29th, 2008 I am on to create a cool (really really cool) application with Java back-end, distributed processing and all. Expect to see lots of Java tech tips and articles in the coming days.

July 6th, 2006 Exception can be handled when thrown in a method by either passing through the Exception or handling it. However in a static code block how can you handle checked exceptions meaningfully? Normally static blocks are used to execute a code only once globally (for all instances of the class).

June 23rd, 2005 I was a long time user of mycgiserver.com which is the first and only provider of free JSP Hosting that I am aware of. As some of you know it was saved at the last minute by Rick H of JavaLobby fame, who supported continual survival and health of the company.

May 19th, 2007 HSQLD is a mature, high-performant database written in Java. It is used in several high profile popular commercial and open source products like Open Office 2.0 (Office productivity suite; competitor of MS Office), JBoss (Application Server), JFox (Application Server), Jonas (Application Server), Mathemetica, Hibernate (ORM), Jira (Defect Tracking), TrackStudio (Defect Tracking), C-JDBC (Database Clustering) etc.

September 25th, 2006 Many would think at this point I am talking about better AJAX support in the core. While we do need better support for AJAX and I am not talking about DWR, I don't think that's what ails Java in its quest for being.

March 10th, 2008 It was well known that there is a significant amount of Java development in Bangalore these days. However it took me by surprise to find that it may actually be a world leader in terms of amount of Java and India too as a country.

January 17th, 2006 HSQLDB, the famous fast RDBMS written in Java, introduced a new feature which affects code ported over from previous versions. From version 1.7.2, in-process databases are no longer closed when the last connection to the database is explicitly closed via JDBC.

May 5th, 2006 This is a list of top 10 features missing in Java, features that I think will help Java survive and thrive in 21st century. As Java developers let's take this occassion to raise our voice and let our demands be heard.
