Get smart with proxies and RMI RMI enables developers to either get a remote reference to a distributed object, in which all method calls are forwarded to the server object, or get a copy of the remote object and invoke on it locally. You can combine these approaches in a way that is transparent to the client code... |

Eliminate JDBC overhead Most J2EE and other types of Java applications interact in some way with information persisted in a database. Interfacing with that database involves several iterations of SQL statements, connection management, transaction lifecycles, result processing, and exception handling. The many parts of this ritualistic dance are common in all contexts; however, this replication doesn't have to exist. This article outlines a flexible framework that remedies the repetition of interacting with a JDBC-compliant database. |
