Cost of object creation vs reflection?

How does the cost of invoking a method using reflection compare to the cost of object creation? Thank you,
ranko

i agree. in such cases, you should do the simplest thing that could possibly work. there are legitimate uses for reflection. without reflection, we have no core serialization mechanism. without serialization, we have no core RPC mechanism (RMI). no dynamic proxies without reflection. all those neat visual building tools are hampered without reflection. ORBs and scripting languages like Jython are hindered.
note that the legitimate uses of reflection shown above tend to be for core JDK, or for development tools. that should be a clue to the developer that unless you're building these kinds of systems, you should reconsider whether reflection is necessary.
that said, reflection has a high "cool" factor. i think that's what sucks developers toward it. it sucked me in, that's for sure. 8^)

Error In Cost Center Hierarchy Creation

Hi Guru's
Error In Cost Center Hierarchy Creation
Our Business scenario is we have controlling area 1000, under that we have cost center Group as ABC lower level to that we create each business wise in lower level like 1100, 1200, 1300 under this we create 110010 for production 110020 employee 110030 dummy so on, by mistake the client has created 1400 below level to 1000 now all cost center amount is booked in this is reflecting in 1400 and as well in ABC now I need to move all 1400 cost centers below ABC please let me know how to go about this.
Regards,
Bhaskar

Hi,
So, if it's standard hierarchy go to OKEON and just drag-and-drop this group under ABC; simple as that. In KSH2 (if it's 'alternative' group) the technology of moving is different, but still quite obvious: select the group you want to move and select the new placement.

Frequent Object Creation vs. synchronized

HI all,
I'm just looking to prompt a discussion I can learn from. Apologies if I'm missing something.
Having just read the excellent articles over at:
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-threads1.html
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-threads2.html
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-threads3.html
I was left wondering about the (largely unmentioned) trade-off between object creation and use of synchronization.
If a particular part of a given system is heavily accessed then one might consider instantiating, and caching references to, components in an initialisation stage. In a multithreaded environment, this can obviously pose a problem.
If these components aren't threadsafe then at some point use will have to be made of a synchronized block, unless the unsafe components are instantiated for every thread.
The articles do mention the overrated cost of synchronization - how does this compare with the cost of frequent object instantiation?
Thanks for your time,
JohnG

Well, let's time it (test program below):
using no synchronization: 180 ms (baseline measurement, not thread safe)
using new: 1111 ms
using uncontended sync: 491 ms
using contended sync: 49531 ms
new is fast - ten million temporary object allocations and frees per second. A magnitude faster than in traditional malloc()/free() -based languages. new is rarely a performance problem in Java programs.
Uncontended locks are fast - twenty million per second.
Heavily contended locks slow you down. Way down. A second becomes a minute.
Don't try to optimize unless you have measured a real performance bottleneck.
Object pooling is unlikely to help. Exceptions being objects that are expensive to initialize and are created often (e.g. large buffers or arrays, cryptographic engines that take time to initialize, or connections to external systems such as databases). You'll need to measure first if object creation really is the bottleneck.

Xdb_installation_trigger does not support object creation of type SNAPSHOT

hi everyone, i'm using Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit on solaris sparc 5.10
we like to send an email through SSL, and after searching here and there I found out that oracle DB 11g able to go throught the SSL.
since upgrade our DB to 11g would not be an option, so i tried to export XDB of 11g and import it into XDB 10gR2 schema, it was a mess...
then i just reinstall XDB using catnoqm.sql & catqm.sql

Object creation of string

Hello
Please tell me what is the difference between these two object creation of string.
String str = new String("Hello");.
String str="Hello";
Thanks.

hello,
Is the string pool is part of a heap? Huh? I suppose yes, you could regard the String pool as part of the heap... but (I guess) that interned String objects would be placed directly into the permanent generation, which is not garbage collected... and therefore I don't really think of the permanent generation as part of the heap (except when tuning heap allocations)... but I think I'm talking over your noob head here, yes... and so to the noob-stuff.
If you get bored you might like to scan (for now) http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/hotspot/gc/gc_tuning_6.html#generations ... and come back to it in a couple of years time (when every second word isn't new and baffling to you;-)
jvm what will do when he encounter the following code,
String s1 = new String ("hello");The VM will:
1. Create a new String object, and then
2. copy the characters 'h','e','l','l','o' from the interned String "hello" to the new String,
3. and then assign a reference to the new String to variable s1.
Note that the result is subtley different from String s1 = "hello", which just does step 3... it assigns a reference to the existing interned String object "hello" to the variable s1... it does not create and "populate" a new String object.
Try this just for fun... what is the output of the following program? Why?
package forums;
public class StringEquals
public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
      String a = "Hello";
      String b = "Hello";
      System.out.println("a==b is "+(a==b));
      String c = new String("Hello");
      System.out.println("a==c is "+(a==c));
    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
}Now, what's the correct way to evaluate equality of String objects in Java?
HTH. Cheers. Keith.

While Loop - Object Creation

Hello,
I have a question on object creation and while loops. Have a look at the following code snippet:
while(true)
       Object obj = new Object();
       // Pass off obj to a new thread
       Thread job = new Thread(new ObjectHandler(obj));
       job.start();
}My question is, do I have to wait until the newly created Thread is finished with the Object obj before I can create a new Object called obj in the while loop?
Also does anyone have any documentation on this sort of thing?
Thanks,
Tony.

I'm still not sure you get what I'm on about, you might want to read up on java methods and pass by value.I think we know how it works. Most of us have been programming in Java for serveral years.

When you pass an object to a method in java you pass it a copy of a reference to that object. Leading on from that, before an object is eligible for garbage collection in java, all references to that object must be dropped.
So with all that in place, my question was, is the creation of an object in a while loop dependent on previous objects of the same name? Objects don't have names. Have we mentioned that before?
You have a reference, larry that is referencing an unnamed object. You can also create other references that reference the same object. The thread will have one reference. You can then make larry reference another object. That will not change anything in the thread. It will still reference the old object, and that object will not be claimed by the gc until that thread stops referencing it.
So the second time we go through the loop below, do we have to wait until larry has been garbage collected, before a new larry can be created?Read the articles/tutorials and what I have written above. What do you think?
Do also note that the GC isn't executed synchronously.

Use String Variable in New Object Creation

Thanks to those who review and respond. I am new to Java, so please be patient with my terminoloy mistakes and fumblings. I am reading in a file and I want to create a new object based on specific field (car for example). As you will notice I grab field 8 here label sIID.
String sIID = dts.group(8);
BTW this regex grouping works fine. The problem is seen when I try to use the sIID variable in my new object creation process.
DateParse sIID = new DateParse();
My IDE is reporting "Variable sIID is already defined in the scope"
Is this possible? The assumption is that the sIID will have different value during the processing of the file. For example, car could mean truck, sedan, etc with operators like color, number of doors, mileage, top speed, etc.

Thanks for the reply. I have include similar and much shorter code for the sake of brevity.
My problems are centered around the x variable/object below. Ideally this would translate to three objects PersonA, PersonB, etc that I could reference later in the code as PersonA.newname if I wanted to. Hopefully this makes sense.
public class TestingObjects {
public static void main(String[] argv) {
       String [] names;
       names = new String[3];
       names[0] = "PersonA";
       names[1] = "PersonB";
       names[2] = "PersonC";
       for (String x:names) {
         PN x = new PN(); // <- Problem
         x.name = x;
         x.SayName();
        System.out.println(x.newname);
public class PN {
       String name;
       String newname;
public String SayName() {
       newname = "Name = " + name;
       System.out.println(name);
      return newname;
}

Java Object Creation

A general question about how can Java object creation with an average amount of data retrieval is considered as a reasonable.
For example if I am clicking on a link in a web application...to paint that page, I think, about 4-5 java object with an average data retrieval of 20 rows wud be considered as appropriate. Any other thoghts or any other parameters to take into consideration?

If you are concerned about object creation speed, you probably shouldn't. Even my laptop PC can create and garbage collect some 12 million objects per second (10,000,000 objects takes about 800 milliseconds). Test program below; remember to run with "java -server" to get the faster optimizing compiler. For laughs, write an equivalent C++ program that does new&delete in a similar loop.
public class CreateObject
    public static void main(String args[])
     throws Exception
     for (int m = 0; m < 5; m++)
         doit();
    static void doit()
     long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
     for (int n = 0; n < 10 * 1000 * 1000; n++) {
         new CreateObject();
         new CreateObject();
         new CreateObject();
         new CreateObject();
         new CreateObject();
         new CreateObject();
         new CreateObject();
         new CreateObject();
         new CreateObject();
         new CreateObject();
     long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
     System.out.println((end - start) + " ms");

Cost center planning data-Plan Variable Costs in Object Currency

Dear All:
I have copied a standard planning layout and for the field, 'Planned Fixed Cost' and 'Planned Variable Cost', I have selected 'Plan Variable Costs in Object Currency' and 'Plan Fixed Costs in Object Currency' as the Key Figure.
I am doing this because our Controlling Area currency is TWD and the other company will upload the planning data in RMB .
However when I do the above settings and try to save, I am getting the following errors.
The column 'Plan Fixed Costs in Object Currency' can input correctly but the column 'Plan Variable Costs in Object Currency' canu2019t be update in KP06 .
ex.
Planner profile: SAPALL
layout :1-101
I can't update the column "Plan Variable Costs "
I copy the layout 1-101 and change the column to 'Plan Fixed Costs in Object Currency' and it still can't input variable cost
BR,
Carol

Hi Carol
I have done this many times and never faced this issue
Just delete the copied layout and Copy it again from 1-101....
May be delete the existing columns of the layout and choose the desired key figure of object currency
Then assign the layout to Planner Profile
Regards

MXML Dynamic Object Creation

Hi ,
Static Object Creation :
Eg:
<mx:Fade id="ViewStack_EffectStart" duration="500" alphaFrom="0.0" alphaTo="1.0"/>
<mx:Fade id="ViewStack_EffectEnd" duration="500" alphaFrom="1.0" alphaTo="0.0"/>
<comp:ErrorBox id="errorBox" active="{active}" showEffect="{ViewStack_EffectStart}" hideEffect="{ViewStack_EffectEnd}"/> .
The above static objects is working fine, but the problem is that we have lot of similiar static object which creates a memory issue.If we create dynamic objects, will it avoid the issue.Is dynamic objects advisible?.
Thanks in advance.Please reply ASAP.
Thanks ,
San.

hmn.. I don't understand your questions fully.
What about create the fade object in "Model" and reference the same Fade object for all dynamic objects?
or r u asking to find out how to create fade in actionscript?
var fade:Fade = new Fade();
fade.target = this;
fade.alphaFrom = 0;
fade.alphaTo = 1;
fade.play();
hope this helps,

JVM 1.5.0, parallelism and object creation

Hi.
I am currently running Java 1.5.0 on a production server. This server is a 4-cpu 2gb ram beast running Red Hat ES 3. It provides MySQL backend and a Java server to be accessed through a Flash client.
So far, the Flash client fares well. MySQL takes worst cast 16% of one CPU for very heavy selections. But I am having problems with optimizing the Java part that does everything.
First and foremost, I cannot change the way it is. Our java code is mostly vendor code, thus we can't really expect to be able to easily change the code. Whatever code we added to the vendor code is definitely not the bottleneck, it's optimized, it's properly synchronized and it's very effective.
I would like to give you an idea of how things fares. You will see my problem soon.
- I am running one process of Java. This process is -Xms and Xmx'ed to 384 megs.
- The total DSize of the Java environment is more than a gigabyte due to the 1000+ threads that runs through it. More so, every client that runs through it adds up at least two threads.
- There are massive object creation and destruction happening. For a 100-client system, the "eden" memory is filled up and GC'ed at least twice per second. Since 1.5.0, the "old" memory of 384m gets filled up in 10 minutes, and GC'ed at that point.
- CPU usage is having fun between 80% and 150% of one CPU (remember I have 4 CPUs so 150% is 150/400% total usage)
- GC is the major speed bump for my server, as if I put 768 megs of Xmm instead of 384, cpu usage drops to 60%-90% CPU, that is, until memory gets filled up and swap gets used (do the math: 768m + 1200 thread stacks)
Now it works fine. 100 users, it's perfect. My major problem is that from next week on, we are planning 300+ users. Ouch.
So my few questions are:
- In knowing that garbage must constantly be collected, is there something I can do in the environment to make it happen all the time in background? Or am I bound to have all 4 cpu's stopped momentarily twice per second so that it might happen?
- In 1.4.x, I could change "eden" memory block size. It doesn't seem to be the same for 1.5.x. What's up with that? I used to increase it dramatically, making GC longer but less frequent, increasing parallelism force.
I am asking the questions because I am not in position of trying "what if"s with my production server. The test server handles well our 8 internal users ... but we are not close of making the same amount of request as our 100-users production server... so we cannot reliably try out options. Best case is see if it crashes or now.
Thanks
Mike

Mikle -- please make sure that you are using either the
UseParallelGC collector or the UseConcMarkSweepCollector.
Both would appear to address some of the problems you
mention.
You may need to tune the size of the young generation
explicitly. Check out the GC tuning documents/tips
at:
http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot
You should make sure your application is not paging.
Since the default thread stack sizes are large (2 MB?)
and you may not need that much, you can try -Xss256k
(for example) to reduce the virtual memory requirements
for your thread stacks and free up more address space
for the Java heap.
In the end, for an application of the kind you describe you
probably need to go 64-bit and use a larger Java heap
along with the parallel/concurrent collector to deal with the
attendant GC overheads. That (going 64-bit) should be easy
(trivial) if your application is pure Java.

a gigabyte due to the 1000+ threads that runs through
it. More so, every client that runs through it adds up
at least two threads.
- There are massive object creation and destruction
happening. For a 100-client system, the "eden" memory
is filled up and GC'ed at least twice per second.
Since 1.5.0, the "old" memory of 384m gets filled up
in 10 minutes, and GC'ed at that point.
- CPU usage is having fun between 80% and 150% of one
CPU (remember I have 4 CPUs so 150% is 150/400% total
usage)
- GC is the major speed bump for my server, as if I
put 768 megs of Xmm instead of 384, cpu usage drops to
60%-90% CPU, that is, until memory gets filled up and
swap gets used (do the math: 768m + 1200 thread
stacks)
Now it works fine. 100 users, it's perfect. My major
problem is that from next week on, we are planning
300+ users. Ouch.
So my few questions are:
- In knowing that garbage must constantly be
collected, is there something I can do in the
environment to make it happen all the time in
background? Or am I bound to have all 4 cpu's stopped
momentarily twice per second so that it might happen?
- In 1.4.x, I could change "eden" memory block size.
It doesn't seem to be the same for 1.5.x. What's up
with that? I used to increase it dramatically, making
GC longer but less frequent, increasing parallelism
force.
I am asking the questions because I am not in position
of trying "what if"s with my production server. The
test server handles well our 8 internal users ... but
we are not close of making the same amount of request
as our 100-users production server... so we cannot
reliably try out options. Best case is see if it
crashes or now.
Thanks

Oracle 8i Lite: Command Object Creation Failed

Hi Everyone,
I use Windows XP everything works except navigator and I get the message that Command Object Creation Failed
Does Anyone know how to fix this and I have to use 8i Lite as it for a school database project
Thanks in advance for everyone's help
J S

Hi. I know this response is too many years late, but I'm putting it in case someone (like me a few days ago) needs to connect to a legacy server using legacy tools:
This error is caused by the installer, sometimes it does not adequately register the OLE/COM objects provided in nav8cmd.dll
So, to correct it:
- open a command window
- change to the directory where the navigator program files reside (In my case c:\orant\bin)
- type the following command: regsvr32 nav8cmd.dll
You should receive a message that the DLL was correctly registered. After that you can use the navigator without problems.
Cheers.

Aborting new object creation

I want to test the input parameters to a constructor and determine if an invalid parameter has been supplied.
If I use:
Thingy myThingy = new Thingy("invalid value");
is it up to the programmer of the above to catch the error, either through exception handling or some other form of error checking, and perform
myThingy = null;
to render the partially initialized object ready for garbage collection?
Is there a way in the constructor itself to indicate that the object shouldn't be created and null should be returned as the result of the "new" operation?
Thanks,
John

But I'd say Clem1986 still has a point. Even in the constructor
Foo() throws Exception {
throw new Exception("Bollocks");
}there's the implicit call to super() and instance initializers before you arrive at throw. From JVM spec: The new instruction does not completely create a new instance; instance creation is not completed until an instance initialization method has been invoked on the uninitialized instance. Which is done above. Whether this qualifies in OP's context as completing instance creation or instantiating an object I don't know. But you could work with it in the constructor, and once you get to throw, memory has been allocated, all superclasses have been initialized (which might involve heavy allocation/computation), default values were assigned to fields and instance initializers have executed. Only now can you decide to "abort new object creation" by completing abruptly and not "returning" the reference to the newly-(partially-)created object to the caller.

Cost of object creation vs reflection?
