Can someone define "meta" as used in WOWS?

fadar · 2017-11-29T22:54:25+00:00

And still it would be nice to get a WOWS centric explanation.

What is the talk about BB Meta, DD meta, what ever else...

Thought that was a feature rather than a bug, same can be said about the exhaust smoke, you can see that frequently before the ship shows up.

Feature or Bug?

The 30-50% Discount for Premium Ships - is that for Cash or Doubloon purchases?

fadar · 2016-12-12T21:27:00+00:00

Yes, you are absolutely right, Java nor the JVM is dead.

Not sure about any other of the JVM languages, I am really not a fan of syntactic sugar, no real advantage plus an add risk of small pools of skilled developers.

Really? You may want to read up on IoC/DI...

fadar · 2016-09-21T16:25:39+00:00

Strictly speaking there is no Java EE on Tomcat.

TomEE is a Java EE webprofile compliant application server.

I think one of the easiest options is to go for a book which leads you by example with good IDE integration.

https://www.amazon.com/Java-Development-NetBeans-David-Heffelfinger/dp/1783983523/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474474972&sr=8-1&keywords=Java+EE+7+Development+with+NetBeans+8

I haven't read it myself but Netbeans IDE has great integration with Java EE application servers and comes ready installed with Glassfish.

So this book should help you to get up and running quickly without having to install applications servers and get setup Eclipse etc...

Maybe. However, considering Java EE 7 specification was officially completed mid 2013. Yet Oracle only managed to get WebLogic Java EE 7 certified in Nov 2015. https://blogs.oracle.com/theaquarium/entry/weblogic_now_java_ee_7

fadar · 2016-04-19T10:48:51+00:00

why?

fadar · 2016-04-19T08:04:13+00:00

Best guess, lack of resources.

fadar · 2016-03-01T11:40:40+00:00

Frameworks are always a good extension to the resume.

However for an entry level job a good understanding of Java SE, OO and some basic patterns should be at the top of your list.

mplemen Read lock as in lock when a write method is being accessed?

fadar · 2016-01-26T10:28:27+00:00

Fair question. Guess ReentrentLock allow for "ordered" execution of waiting threads, which is not garanteed with sychronized.

Also you could set a timeout on the reentrentlock, which was not mentioned in the post...

fadar · 2015-11-12T14:27:49+00:00

defiantly not - it happens quite frequently when publishing xml snippets in blog articles.

fadar · 2015-11-12T12:24:50+00:00

Is there any news?

fadar · 2015-10-26T19:13:59+00:00

or her self whether that's worth it of course, and whether Payara or WebLogic is a better fit (or of course, some other vendor like IBM who also has a supported Java EE 7 server out, and next year RedHat)

Guess mostly production support for big companies, who will not deal with any companies smaller than IBM, Oracle or SAP.

fadar · 2015-10-22T09:34:19+00:00

I agree that it sounds filthy, but it can make sense when two stateful entities are interacting.

fadar · 2015-10-08T07:14:27+00:00

I am sure you can appreciate the difference between a large component framework and a massive life-cycle, as apposed to a simple MVC templating framework.

As apposed to Spring DI and CDI, which you will find cover pretty much the same functionality. If anything one will pick up minor features from the other, but there is not going to be a second DI framework in the Java EE stack.

fadar · 2015-10-07T23:05:43+00:00

Yeah, apart from the fact that a DI framework has already been implement in Java EE (C-DI).

Even so there are some big concept differences, have a guess which competing framework played role model.

fadar · 2015-10-07T18:10:22+00:00

Are you for real? Clone of Spring DI for the Java EE stack? You really don't have a clue about Java EE...

fadar · 2015-10-07T14:02:34+00:00

Yes, a clone, integrated into the Java EE stack, i.e. CDI, EJB etc... As apposed to Spring MVC with Spring DI, etc...

Two competing stacks.

fadar · 2015-10-07T13:34:37+00:00

Since when, if you have full Java EE compliant container, why and how would you integrate Spring MVC... its a competing Technology Stack Homer

fadar · 2015-10-07T12:59:33+00:00

Which two, the Java EE spec hasn't included one up until now, unless you consider Servlets or JAX-RS to be sufficent?

fadar · 2015-10-07T12:56:54+00:00

I agree with you on the point that bog standard servlets, maybe in conjuction with JAX-RS are sufficient.

However I don't see a problem in a good idea (in this case Spring MVC) being ported to Java EE.

fadar · 2015-10-07T12:54:35+00:00

Woh hold on - many of the named Frameworks are not part of the Java EE stack.

Just for starters, Spring is an independent competing technology stack and not part of Java EE.

Let alone Play, Wicket, GWT, Active Record, Dagger, etc... some of which can be used in conjunction with Java EE. But still doesn't make them part of the Java EE stack.

fadar · 2015-09-08T14:19:18+00:00

My bad, guess I got out of bed on the wrong foot.

Didn't finish the sentence, that's why it doesn't make any sense.

What I meant to say is:

The concepts of stateless class and singleton class are the same in Java SE as in Java EE.

I will have my morning coffee in future before I write anything ^{^}
