Java Advanced Features
- 1. 1 Java Advanced Features Trenton Computer Festival March 17, 2018 Michael P. Redlich @mpredli about.me/mpredli/
- 2. Who’s Mike? • BS in CS from • “Petrochemical Research Organization” • Java Queue News Editor, InfoQ • Ai-Logix, Inc. (now AudioCodes) • Amateur Computer Group of New Jersey 2
- 3. Objectives (1) • Java Beans • Exception Handling • Generics • Java Database Connectivity • Java Collections Framework 3
- 4. Java Beans 4
- 5. What are Java Beans? • A method for developing reusable Java components • Also known as POJOs (Plain Old Java Objects) • Easily store and retrieve information 5
- 6. Java Beans (1) • A Java class is considered a bean when it: • implements interface Serializable • defines a default constructor • defines properly named getter/setter methods 6
- 7. Java Beans (2) • Getter/Setter methods: • return (get) and assign (set) a bean’s data members • Specified naming convention: •getMember •setMember •isValid 7
- 8. 8 // PersonBean class (partial listing) public class PersonBean implements Serializable { private static final long serialVersionUID = 7526472295622776147L; private String lastName; private String firstName; private boolean valid; public PersonBean() { } public String getLastName() { return lastName; } public void setLastName(String lastName) { this.lastName = lastName; } // getter/setter for firstName public boolean isValid() { return valid; } }
- 9. Demo Time… 9
- 11. What is Exception Handling? • A more robust method for handling errors than fastidiously checking for error codes • error code checking is tedious and can obscure program logic 11
- 12. Exception Handling (1) • Throw Expression: • raises the exception • Try Block: • contains a throw expression or a method that throws an exception 12
- 13. Exception Handling (2) • Catch Clause(s): • handles the exception • defined immediately after the try block • Finally Clause: • always gets called regardless of where exception is caught • sets something back to its original state 13
- 14. Java Exception Model (1) • Checked Exceptions • enforced by the compiler • Unchecked Exceptions • recommended, but not enforced by the compiler 14
- 15. Java Exception Model (2) • Exception Specification • specify what type of exception(s) a method will throw • Termination vs. Resumption semantics 15
- 16. 16 // ExceptionDemo class public class ExceptionDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { try { initialize(); } catch(Exception exception) { exception.printStackTrace(); } public void initialize() throws Exception { // contains code that may throw an exception of type Exception } }
- 17. Demo Time… 17
- 18. Generics 18
- 19. What are Generics? • A mechanism to ensure type safety in Java collections • introduced in Java 5 • Similar concept to C++ Template mechanism 19
- 20. Generics (1) • Prototype: • visibilityModifier class | interface name<Type> {} 20
- 21. 21 // Iterator demo *without* Generics... List list = new ArrayList(); for(int i = 0;i < 10;++i) { list.add(new Integer(i)); } Iterator iterator = list.iterator(); while(iterator.hasNext()) { System.out.println(“i = ” + (Integer)iterator.next()); }
- 22. 22 // Iterator demo *with* Generics... List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<Integer>(); for(int i = 0;i < 10;++i) { list.add(new Integer(i)); } Iterator<Integer> iterator = list.iterator(); while(iterator.hasNext()) { System.out.println(“i = ” + iterator.next()); }
- 23. 23 // Defining Simple Generics public interface List<E> { add(E x); } public interface Iterator<E> { E next(); boolean hasNext(); }
- 25. What is JDBC? • A built-in API to access data sources • relational databases • spreadsheets • flat files • The JDK includes a JDBC-ODBC bridge for use with ODBC data sources • type 1 driver 25
- 26. Java Database Connectivity (1) • Install database driver and/or ODBC driver • Establish a connection to the database: • Class.forName(driverName); • Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(); 26
- 27. Java Database Connectivity (2) • Create JDBC statement: •Statement statement = connection.createStatement(); • Obtain result set: • Result result = statement.execute(); • Result result = statement.executeQuery(); 27
- 28. 28 // JDBC example import java.sql.*; public class DatabaseDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { String sql = “SELECT * FROM timeZones”; Class.forName(“sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver”); Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(“jdbc:odbc:timezones”,””,””); Statement statement = connection.createStatement(); ResultSet result = statement.executeQuery(sql); while(result.next()) { System.out.println(result.getDouble(2) + “ “ + result.getDouble(3)); } connection.close(); } }
- 30. What are Java Collections? (1) • A single object that groups together multiple elements • Collections are used to: • store • retrieve • manipulate 30
- 31. What is the Java Collection Framework? • A unified architecture for collections • All collection frameworks contain: • interfaces • implementations • algorithms • Inspired by the C++ Standard Template Library 31
- 32. What is a Collection? • A single object that groups together multiple elements • sometimes referred to as a container • Containers before Java 2 were a disappointment: • only four containers • no built-in algorithms 32
- 33. Collections (1) • Implement the Collection interface • Built-in implementations: • List • Set 33
- 34. Collections (2) • Lists • ordered sequences that support direct indexing and bi-directional traversal • Sets • an unordered receptacle for elements that conform to the notion of mathematical set 34
- 35. 35 // the Collection interface public interface Collection<E> extends Iterable<E>{ boolean add(E e); boolean addAll(Collection<? extends E> collection); void clear(); boolean contains(Object object); boolean containsAll(Collection<?> collection); boolean equals(Object object); int hashCode(); boolean isEmpty(); Iterator<E> iterator(); boolean remove(Object object); boolean removeAll(Collection<?> collection); boolean retainAll(Collection<?> collection); int size(); Object[] toArray(); <T> T[] toArray(T[] array); }
- 36. Iterators • Used to access elements within an ordered sequence • All collections support iterators • Traversal depends on the collection • All iterators are fail-fast • if the collection is changed by something other than the iterator, the iterator becomes invalid 36
- 37. 37 // Iterator demo import java.util.*; List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<Integer>(); for(int i = 0;i < 9;++i) { list.add(new Integer(i)); } Iterator iterator = list.iterator(); while(iterator.hasNext()) { System.out.println(iterator.next()); } 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 current last
