Is there a mechanism in Java similar to Properties in C#?

A friend of mine is working on a project in C#, and periodically I've been examining his source code, and commenting on how similar the syntax and programming style seems to be to Java. Recently my friend asked me a question about 'Properties', which I wasn't familiar with. So I found a few websites that describe how Properties work in C#, and now I'm wondering if there is anything similar to Properties in Java?
In case any of you are curious, this particular website has a pretty straight forward explanation

I'm not advocating C# or trying to start an argument about the pros and cons of Java vs. C#, I'm just wondering if there is an analog to properties in Java, or if there's been mention of doing so in future releases.

For good or bad, even though Java and C# are very similar in style, C# is way ahead featurewise.

  • Is there a active record class similar to the one in codeigniter for java

    I was wondering if there's a way to build sql statements in java similar to active record in codeigniter which is a PHP framework. Basically you call functions that builds your sql statements like so:
    db.from('users');
    db.select('id');
    db.where('name', name);
    results = db.get();
    instead of something like this:
    "select id from users where name='" + name + '";
    Top methods cleaner, easier to read and modify, and less likely to miss a punctuation. Is there a class that does something like this for java. Sorry haven't used Java in awhile and just trying to get back in.

    Nope - the correct way is to use a prepared statement.
    Top methods cleaner, easier to read and modify, and less likely to miss a punctuation. None of those would be true for the way I write code.
    And I doubt that any of those would be true for non-trivial examples, for example a union with several complex clauses. And absolutely useless if you need a dba who is only a dba to help with your SQL.

  • Is there a way for java plug-in to get the browser login authentication

    I have an applet that is loaded from a password protected html page. I use java plug-in with the applet.
    When I try to read this page I get the browser window asking for password and username. So far so good.
    Then I log in successfully and starts using the applet.
    If the applet wants to access pages on the same PW protected area, I have to give the plug-in PW and UN.
    My question is then:
    Is there a way that java plug-in can get hold of the login information that the browser has obtained? (So that I wont have to give the same information twice)
    I thought the answer would be no, but then I started experimenting with https and found out that if I use the same scenario as above, except from that I give a certificate to the browser before the first login, then the plug-in will get certificate info from the browser, and it wont promt me for UN and PW either!
    When it is possible for the plug-in to obtain certificate info and login info from the browser then it should be possible just to get the login info with ordinarily http?

  • Is there a replacement plug in similar to the "Variations" command that was aborted in CS6

    Is there a replacement plug in similar to the "Variations" command that was thoughtlessly aborted in CS6... ANYTHING SIMILAR AT ALL.
    I know what all you "pros" will say, but I have been using it since it was created and I like it

    I don't think there is at this point, since cs6 can't be run in the 32 bit mode and adobe hasn't ported the variations filter to 64 bit on the mac side.

  • How to parse a string in CVP 7.0(1). Is there a built-in java class, other?

    Hi,
    I need to parse,in CVP 7.0(1), the BAAccountNumber variable passed by the ICM dialer.  Is there a built-in java class or other function that would help me do this?
    Our BAAccountNumber variable looks something like this: 321|XXX12345678|1901|M. In IP IVR I use the "Get ICM Data" object to read the BAAccountNumber variable from ICM and then I use the "token index" feature to parse the variable (picture below).
    Alternately, IP IVR also has a Java class that allows me to do this; the class is "java.lang.String" and the method is "public int indexOf(String,int)"
    Is there something equivalent in CVP 7.0(1)?
    thanks

  • My Iphone Off/On push button is apparently stuck. I am unable to turn it off or push for the black screensaver. Is there a mechanical fix or am I sunk with a defective phone now?

    question: Is my IPhone 4S now defective/defunct for use with a bad push button for on/off and screensaver, or is there a mechanical fix that an Apple Store Genius can do to pop that button out again?

    Oh, yes, the Apple store will either install that cheesy, annoying screen app, or tell me I can replace my phone - only 1 1/2 years old - come on, Apple! - for a hefty price since the warranty is over and my cell contract still has months to go. Oh, and I've purchased AppleCare several times on other products and never needed it because I am careful with my electronics! Apple has gotten enough money from me for AppleCare in the past, and why would I have expected Apple to have a shoddy product (well, I might now). Thanks for responding, though.

    Yuh think ! ? !
    That was 75% of the reason. It was waaaaay overpriced.
    The ports being on the bottom, where no one could get at them, was another big reason it was not accepted by the public.
    I am among those who have been pushing for a desktop system with a mini-like footprint, but imac-like performance -- but I've been advocating this since before the Mini existed.
    One idea I put forward in my Mac User Group's newsletter was for a machine just slightly taller than a mini that docks into a cinema display-type monitor. This would allow apple to sell them together for an imac experience, or separately.
    Regardless of whether or not they did the docking thing, this is the computer system that could really bring about great Mac acceptance in the corporate world. But of course Apple ignores that space and seem deaf to the needs of industry.

  • Is there any method in Java to convert from system time to variant time?

    From MSDN:
    A variant time is stored as an 8-byte real value (double), representing a date between January 1, 100 and December 31, 9999, inclusive. The value 2.0 represents January 1, 1900; 3.0 represents January 2, 1900, and so on. Adding 1 to the value increments the date by a day. The fractional part of the value represents the time of day. Therefore, 2.5 represents noon on January 1, 1900; 3.25 represents 6:00 A.M. on January 2, 1900, and so on. Negative numbers represent dates prior to December 30, 1899.
    Is there any method in Java to do this or do I need to write it?

  • Is there a "pointer arrow" or similar feature in iMovie HD?

    Is there a "pointer arrow" or similar feature in iMovie HD that can be used to highlight a specific object (in this case a person) in iMovie HD? My son is making a soccer highlight video of himself for college coaches, and we would like to, in some way, point him out in movie clips so coaches will know which player he is of all the players on the clip.

    Doug,
    You're using iMovie HD, right?
    If that's the case Gee Three makes a plugin called Whiteboard that might be what you're looking for.
    It's part of their Slick Volume 6. You'll have to buy the whole package to get it.
    http://www.geethree.com/slick/galleries/s6demopages/s6whiteboard2.html
    There is also Movie Canvas from cf/x which can be purchased individually.

    Note: These plugins will work with iMovie HD but not iMovie '08 or '09.

  • Is there log mechanism in SDK?

    Our product is using SDK(9.1, PDFLPrintDoc) to print a PDF document. It is an ActiveX control and utilize Acorbat Reader to display pdf files. One of our customer is using Acorbat Reader 9.3.3. At the customer's production environment the print will crash our product. Is there log mechanism in SDK so that I can get some log informaiton on what happened in PDFLPrintDoc?

    Why to provide such useless responses? Tell us instead how to properly debug your buggy products!
    In other post in this forum I've mentioned already that for example we were able to catch Access Violation exception (which is first indication of incorrectly written code) in one of Acrobat Pro 9.4.0 DLLs and your engineer said he was not able to reproduce on his 9.3.4.
    So what? What are the next normal steps to handle such situations?
    At least on Windows I think you should provide us so called Program Database (.pdb) files and then we'll tell you exactly were your (not ours) code crashes by attaching standard debugging tools to running Acrobat process before it crashes.
    Please discuss that with some of your management and let us know the result of such discussion.
    I hope that Adobe really wants us to utilize their free available Acrobat SDK and not hates us when we are trying to use it for production grade systems.

  • There is a new Java update availible, however when i go to software update the download doesnt appear. someone please help!

    I know that there is a new java update available because when i go to java's website it tells me to go apple-software update because i have a macbook. however, when i do so it tells me all my software is up to date. Any help is much appreciated.

    Java support is changing.  Currently Apple is working on Java 6 for Macs and regularly releasing updates. There is a developer preview available but this is not recommended for regular users as it may contain unexpected bugs. The latest version for regular users is java version "1.6.0_24".
    Java 7 is currently under development, in a community effort led and co-ordinated by Oracle. This effort includes Java for Macs.  Once this happens it might be that you'll no longer get Apple Mac Java updates from Apple, but instead you'll get them from the same Java website as Windows and Linux users.  Whatever happens, Java will continue to be supported on Macs well into the future.

    Hello All,
    Is there any mechanism where Oracle ESB can store messages? like MQ does , Due to any reason if any compoenet goes down or Database goes down messages should not lost.
    But not sure if Oracle ESB in Oracle SOA Suite 10g has feature to persist the messages ?
    Waiting for reply.
    Thanks & Regards

    In 10g, ESB doesnot come with this builtin, you can use AQ/JMS to store the messages.
