This essay developed out of conversations I've had with several other programmers about why Java smelled suspicious. It's not a critique of Java!

Java and the Future

December 1, 2008-LEJB 3.1: EJB New and Improved!
The EJB 3.0 specification was a huge improvement from what you were used to in the early versions of EJB. Available as an early draft, EJB 3.1 has many more features and is even easier to use.

December 1, 2008 -Should Java Assert that Network I/O Can't Occur on the UI Thread?
Doing network I/O on the user interface (UI) thread is bad. Most developers know that and can tell you why; unfortunately, it's still done.

Thin driver example

import java.sql.*;
class TestThinApp {
public static void main (String args[])
throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException {
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
// or you can use:
// DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver(
));
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:oracle:thin:@dssnt01:1521:dssora01","scott","tiger");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement( );
ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery(
"select 'Hello Thin driver tester '||USER||'!' result from dual");
while(rset.next( ))
System.out.println(rset.getString(1));
rset.close( );
stmt.close( );
conn.close( );
}
}

For this example to work, the following conditions must be met:
. You must have the Oracle classes12.zip file listed in your CLASSPATH.
. You must have JDK 1.2.x or higher installed.
. You must have access to an Oracle8i (or higher) database.
To compile the program, type the code into a file named TestThinApp.java. Change the database, in the form host:port:sid, the username, and the password to appropriate values for your environment. Then type the commands shown in the following example to compile and run the program:

C:\> javac TestThinApp.java
C:\> java TestThinApp
Hello Thin driver tester SCOTT!
