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. |

Exceptional practices, Part 3 Exceptions provide a powerful mechanism for handling error conditions in Java programs. Part 3 covers message catalogs, a technique you can use to simplify the process of localizing your application for foreign markets. The use of message catalogs has additional benefits beyond localization -- they make it practical for documentation writers and human interface designers, rather than developers, to control the error messages. |
