Scenario In practical applications, when you create a profile (of a User or a Company say), you are required to maintain a picture or an icon to uniquely identify the entity so that every time the user or company visits the application, it finds the same picture which was last uploaded over the application. For Example, when a Facebook user uploads his picture, it is added to his photos list and every time he logs in, he can see the picture in that list. This can be done when you save the picture somewhere and retrieve it from there every time its required. A databaseRead More →

An Exception is an undesirable state which arises out of some unexpected condition or scenario which was not handled during application development or due to some unexpected circumstances arising in the execution environment. Java provides support for handling exception conditions during application execution using try–catch blocks. Exceptions in java are categorized into two parts : Checked Exceptions Exceptions which need to be declared or handled during application development are checked exceptions. They are called checked because their appropriate handling is checked at compile time by the compiler. Handling implies either they are caught in a try-catch block or are declared to be thrown (using throwsRead More →

A typical java application uses some values which are not suitable to be given in code such as log generation path, output location, configuration file path, timeout values etc. Since these values vary from system to system and user to user, their values can not be pre-fixed. One user may want his logs to be generated in “myLogs” folder, another user may want the logs to be generated in “appLogs” folder. If given in code, they cannot be changed without developer intervention. Further, this change would require a re-build of code.Read More →

A web application developed using Java EE would definitely be using JSPs and would indeed involve transferring values from one JSP to another. For Example, a user is presented with a form where he fills the required details and presses a Next button where all those details are pre-filled in a non-editable form for him to confirm. The user checks the details to be correct and submits the form for further processing. The above scenario is pretty common and involves taking data from one JSP to another. This post addresses the approaches to achieve that.Read More →

Comparison between two dates is a task that every developer has to perform. Comparison implies determining which date is earlier or later of the two dates. It would be great if we are aware of different ways in which we can achieve it. Below are some of the ways for comparing two dates using java api classes and their methods.Read More →
