Java Programmer's Tips & Tricks

Contains only one topic at the moment, but looks promising.

Pointer free data structures in Java

How to write data structure classes in Java despite the absence of pointers. Uses binary search trees as an example.

How to decouple the Observer/Observable object model

How to optimizing the performance of updates to an Observer by decoupling the notification of a message/event from the consumption of that event.

ThrowDontCatch

A small debate on the idioms of exception handling in Java.

Observers and Observables

A basic introduction to the Observer class in Java, with some simple straight forward example code to illustrate how it's used.

printf-like formatting

An implementation of some simple printf-like formatting facilities to provide custom formatting of data values. The page has a nice little demo applet allowing you to see how these facilities can be used and changed dynamically.

How to Iterator Observers

How to factor out common code and make your Iterators observable to improve code reusability.

Building dynamically extensible applications

An article discussing how to build programs for dynamic extensiblity, and how to dynamically load code into an executing application.

Switcher Applet, Dynamically Loaded Code

A switcher applet that dynamically loads either a 1.0 or a 1.1 class at runtime to match the java version supported by the user's browser. This is the recommended way to start delivering applets that require Java 1.1 libraries and facilities.

Taking out the trash

Create a custom Java 1.2-style ClassLoader

In this JavaWorld article, Ken McCrary outlines the enhancements made to the Java 1.2 ClassLoader and offers tips on customizing your own class-loading mechanism.

Code generation using Javadoc

Extend Javadoc by creating custom doclets.
Though typically used for code documentation purposes, Javadoc is also suitable as a code generation tool. This JavaWorld article presents a custom doclet that provides a simple, extensible architecture to generate code for SQL schema, and Java and C++ classes from simple Java class definitions.

Java Generic Delegator

Stu Halloway's Generic Delegator allows you to intercept calls to any Java interface, and to create Dynamic Proxies for Java 1.2.
