What is a clone A clone is an exact copy of something. Object cloning is required when you want to create a new object with the same values of properties and containing all methods as an existing object. A practical scenario would be when creating a new entity whose most of the property values are common as all other entities except for a couple of properties. Instead of copying each property value one by one, you can clone the object and then change the properties having different values. This article will explain how to make a clone of an object along with the concepts ofRead More →

What are command line arguments Command line arguments are the values that are supplied to a shell script as input while executing it from the command line. Using command line arguments your script can read values directly from command line or terminal. Command line arguments are also called positional parameters. Command line arguments make a shell script dynamic and maintainable in that you can execute a shell script with different values supplied from outside and you do not need to write them inside the script. This means that for each set of values, you do not need to go and change the script. Passing argumentsRead More →

This means that entire page data will be fetched from the server and then rendered on the browser. If the user clicks a link, then the same would happen with the next page.

In a multi-threaded application where multiple threads are accessing a resource at the same time, it becomes necessary to handle concurrent modifications. Suppose a file is being written by a thread and at the same time it is being read by another thread. In such case, the thread reading the file will not have the updated contents. Similarly, if two threads are writing a file at the same time, then there are chances of the file becoming corrupt. To avoid such situations, there should be a mechanism that locks the file while writing or reading in java. Fortunately, java NIO has the facility to lockRead More →
