Is java 8 better than java 7 ..??

define "better".
I'm not planning to switch any time soon. Not only are we using Java 6 on servers that aren't supported on Java 7, let alone 8, but I also tend to wait for the initial bugs to be ironed out before adopting something new.

Why is Java better than c#. most people say c# is better

I have entered forums and end up seeing informations on c# being better than java. Pls can any body tell me what makes java better than c#. This days every one i know is now going c#. They are discoraging me to also go c#.
i am quite con fussed. The only thing that keeps me to JAVA is platform independence.

Well, I suppose you can search Google for 'C# vs java' and read an article such as
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Java_and_C_Sharp.
However arguing which is better is best left as an exercise for developers with a lot of experience in both languages rather than those just starting out (If your just starting out, you will not use the advanced features one has over the other).
I think the market will be evenly split between both languages for quite some time. Ideally, as a professional developer you should know both well so you are more employable. For Java, I suggest getting familiar with The Eclipse IDE since its used by the bulk of Java developers. For C#, I suggest you install Visual Studio Express because its used by the bulk of C# developers (and the express version is free).
I suggest you first learn one or the other very very well and good coding practices before learning the other language to avoid mixing the two somewhat different coding styles.
I suggest learning whichever language your friends are using assuming you communicate with them about programming often (so you can help each other). If instead your on your own, I suggest you learn Java. I think you will have an easier time picking up the Object Oriented philosophy than C# because in my opinion Java is more low level coding and C# is more high level coding (ie, the advanced features it can do a lot for you). You should have a good handle on the low level concepts first. In may opinion, once you know Java well, C# is a lot easier to pick up since they are both object oriented and are very similar object oriented languages.

JAVA(Ajax + (SVG or XAML)) is better than JAVA(Swing or SWT)?

A new startup claims it has invented a process to create reusable Ajax GUI Classes that are better than Java/Swing classes.
http://cbsdf.com/misc_docs/why-gui-api.htm
http://cbsdf.com/misc_docs/gui-api-brief.htm
It has published the innovative process and many examples on the web site and challenging the software community to prove it wrong.
Any takers?
It claims the process is very simple any Java developer with some JavaScript experience can validate the process.
Imagine the implications if they are right, and if it costs less to create a graphics intensive online application than the cost of creating a comparable Java/Swing application?

RealBasic, better than Java??

Hello all,
I like to surf on the Internet looking for IT related information.
Just about few minutes ago, I came to this webpage:
http://www.realbasic.com/users/java/
I skimmed quite alot on that website, and I found that realBasic is a programming language, sounds like perfect in every aspect of developer's perspective. However, I guess it is not a popular programming language, which, must have certain reasons for that consequence I believe.
Nonetheless, I have read through particularly the page above. What they are trying to say is how superior realBasic is over Java, with reasons of security and cross-platform.
For cross platform, it tells Java has failed on it, because Java is hard to deploy, and use non-standard Gui userinterface, but, it is unclear to me that what does it mean by hard to deploy?? As a result, I don't see why Java is a failure in cross-platform, because think about the mobile's games. Btw, however, honestly, I don't see much desktop programs written in Java, except a few, for eg, Limewire, a p2p program. Does any one know why??
Secondly, for security, it tells Java program is easy to crack due to its bytecode, which can be "uncompile" into source code again. Once again, still subjective, the Java JustInTime compiler does compile Java into native code.
What are you guys' opinions towards the issue of RealBasic and Java??
thanks for anticipating my thread.

Hello all,
I like to surf on the Internet looking for IT related
information.
Just about few minutes ago, I came to this webpage:
http://www.realbasic.com/users/java/
I skimmed quite alot on that website, and I found
that realBasic is a programming language, sounds like
perfect in every aspect of developer's perspective.It's the Mary Poppins of programming languages.
However, I guess it is not a popular programming
language, which, must have certain reasons for that
consequence I believe.Yeah, nobody's heard of Basic. You're the first.
Nonetheless, I have read through particularly the
page above. What they are trying to say is how

yawn
"Java has failed; RealBasic is better" - I guess that settles it.
For cross platform, it tells Java has failed on it,
because Java is hard to deploy, and use non-standard
Gui userinterface, You mean Swing? Isn't that standard for Java?
but, it is unclear to me that what
does it mean by hard to deploy?? You still have to deploy code on a user's desktop. JavaWebStart isn't the whole solution.
Besides, there are plenty of apps that DON'T use a Swing desktop. They're called Web apps, and they use JSPs in a browser. That's cross-platform.
As a result, I don't
see why Java is a failure in cross-platform, because
think about the mobile's games. Btw, however,
honestly, I don't see much desktop programs written
in Java, except a few, for eg, Limewire, a p2p
program. Does any one know why??Maybe because the desktop isn't as important as it used to be. There's this thing called the Internet...
Secondly, for security, it tells Java program is easy
to crack due to its bytecode, which can be
"uncompile" into source code again. Once again, still
subjective, the Java JustInTime compiler does compile
Java into native code.I don't worry about anybody decompiling bytecode. (Code obfuscators can help if you're really worried.) I worry about Visa losing my credit card info.
What are you guys' opinions towards the issue of
RealBasic and Java??My opinion is that you should be far more critical of what you read, especially on the Internet. This is a RealBasic infomercial, not a scientific paper.

Is Java better than PHP ?

Hi
I see that many large companies on the web which have large websites with a lot of traffic are choosing to use application servers for their sites. Usually the ones they are choosing are j2ee based application servers. I almost never see any large website with a PHP solution, it usually uses servlet/JSP. When i look at smaller sites its usually PHP. What i am wondering is why the large companies choose to use a complex setup of application servers when they could just set up a CMS in PHP which they could just buy from some place, install easily and then they could just start writing articles for example. Why does large companies use this complex solution of application servers instead of PHP which would be a much simpler setup... is it because PHP doesnt scale as well as java or what is it ?
Could someone please comment on this...

What i am wondering is why the large companies choose to use a complex setup of application servers when they could just set up a CMS in PHP which they could just buy from some place, install easily and then they could just start writing articles for example.Not all "large" websites are mere CMSs. Of the CMS solutions, the best ones do not run under PHP, thus not all CMS based websites choose PHP.
Why does large companies use this complex solution of application servers instead of PHP which would be a much simpler setup... is it because PHP doesnt scale as well as java or what is it ?The advantages of PHP are that it is free, easy to understand for beginners, and simple for small applications. It's a natural choice for inexperienced developers.
The advantages of Java/J2EE are that it is well supported, very structured, and has a massive library of standard and external libraries to support it.
What's PHP's answer to messaging solutions? To linear programming? To integration with legacy systems? It may well be that PHP doesn't scale, but that's the least of its problems in the enterprise world.
Your questions sounds suspiciously like "I like PHP, why is Java so complicated?" and the answer is "The complexity exists because sometimes we need it."
(Edited ambiguity in opening para).

Do you know LayerD technology? It'll be better than Java?

I've read about a new free technology named "LayerD", and it's impresive compared to .NET or Java, it's not only really multiplatform, with this technology you can make programs in an object oriented paradigm and the Aspect Oriented Paradigm (AOP), what is more you can make your own Semantics Structures!! and it've RAD capabilities incorporated directly in the compiler. Of course you can use multiple languages to program in this technology, I recommend to visit this web site "http://layerd.net/eng" and read the theoretical and practical guide about this technology. An please after read it, make me a comment.

This seems like interesting technologies, are you the developer of this technologies?...Also do you have any sample applications I can see using this technology?

Which is better C++/JAVA?

Could someone give me an explaination as to why
C++/OpenGL is better than Java when trying to program 3D
objects?? Also could you plsss tell me the pros and cons
for each one?? Though i was thinking of using JAVA.
thx

You can't really say one is 'better' than the other. As far as 3d programming goes, it's likely you could achieve faster, smoother 3d programming (comparable to current PC games) with C++ but you at the sacrifce of much time and greater knowledge. Although Java3d is arguably not as fast as C++ it has been optimized for speed. If you're writing applications on your own then I'd strongly recommend Java. It's easier to pick up and will give you a good starting ground if you ever decide to take up C++. Also, with j3d you can write one program and (in theory ) it should be able to run w/ either DirectX or OpenGL.

I wanna learn Oracle ADF technology, is it better than other java based f/w

hi Forum Members
I wanna learn Oracle ADF technology, is it better than other java based f/w
Thanks,
Raghava

There is a quick start guide which could help you

There are also tutorials on the OTN JDeveloper page (google for JDeveloper).
this should get you started.

Are Java Data Objects better than EJB's

can anyone kindly explain how JDO's are better than EJB's. or an URL where I can get the info.
sreedhar

I sometimes hear about people implementing their entity bean persistence using JDO, but it would make a LOT more sense to me to front entity beans with a JDO interface. Entity beans provide a good mechanism for handling transactions, caching, etc., while JDO provides a very simple persistence interface.

Which database is better with JAVA ?

Which database is better with JAVA Oracle of MySQL ?

your question is too general but i prefer oracle for large projectsAs long as somebody else is paying the license fee.
and mysql for small projects.And this contributes what new information to the discussion?
>
you might also consider using postgresql. also an
open-source but much better than mysql :-)Much better, indeed. Thanks for the second.
you might also consider the use of
object-relational-mapping (ex.hibernate)
for your database and application so your application
written
on java wont be much dependent on the database :-)Your application won't be any less dependent on the database. It will make it possible to switch databases just by changing the Hibernate dialect.
I would not recommend Hibernate to someone who has to ask this question.

How to install Java instead than Jinitiator

Hi everybody
I'm facing a problem in my current Operating System Windows 7 that I installed Oracle DB and Developer suite Ver "10.1.2.0.2" and I tried to install Jinitiator latest one that version jinit13130 and with no success to be installed even I copied the jvm.dll from latest Java to initiator directory and still didn't work. I even tried to disable Add-ons and still didn't work.
I heard that I have to use Java instead than Jinitiator I did as is mentioned in this page
http://fdegrelle.over-blog.com/article-4135746-6.html and also in this documentation pdf but still with no avail. In the website is mentioned that I have to put in the forms formsweb.cfg to add these thing
"instead of the archive_jini tag, use the archive tag
archive=frmall.jar,...,my_jar.jar"
I found that my_jar.jar is not in any folder so I escaped this file from the line and only mentioned frmall.jar. and I did the rest but still didn't work, by the way I received this message when I run a form "FRM-10142: the http listener is not running on Candy-PC at port 8890. please start the listener or check your runtime preferences".
reference that I also checked is this page
http://www.orafaq.com/forum/index.php/m/442273/0/
could anyone help me please to overcome this problem.
This is my formsweb.cfg I uploaded in rapidshare so you can see what I did.

Thanks a lot dears BaiG, QGIRCO, Francois for your help.
Alright, I did changed the syntax that is in the runtime Application Server to this "http://Canady-PC:8889/forms/frmservlet?config=jreconfig" and now the message disappeared and when I run the forms it shows to that want to download this file jinstall-1_4-windows-i586.cab and when I said install it gave me a message that
You are running the following platform: Windows 7 Ultimate. This Java platform works best on the following platforms:
Windows NT, 2000, 98, ME, XP
and I stopped the installation until I inform you and take your consultant about what should I do here.
By the way, I took off these line from formsweb.cfg as you can see it in my first post that I uploaded in rapidshare

Web Report - ABAP Vs JAVA engine - ABAP 10 times faster than JAVA

Guys,
I want to share what we found in our project and see if any of you have insights
into our findings.We are on NW2004S SP14 and we are moving to SP15 in a couple of weeks.We created query, developed WAD for it and executing the WAD takes for this query takes 22 secs (Vs 2 secs using ABAP) the query output has 1 million records and most of the actions we take from that point on like right click on account takes 20 secs (Vs 0 secs/instant using ABAP) , drilldown to level 4 of account hierarchy takes 58 secs (Vs 5 secs using ABAP), drilldown on cost center level 6 takes 42 secs (Vs 4 secs using ABAP), , right click on cost center takes 32 secs (Vs 3 secs using ABAP), ..etc.
Basically every action we take in the JAVA report takes an average of 28 secs.There are 9 aggregates built on the cube that are barely hit by this query but the same query performing same actions with same selections hit the aggregates many many times.The questions I have is why is ABAP so fast compared to JAVA ? What is true explanation behind this behavior ? What are the dis-advantages by using ABAP engine ? Users are loving the performance and features of ABAP while they weren't really on board with the original JAVA report (as it was slow). ABAP is sure enough 10 times faster than JAVA. Query/Query Properties are exactly the same in ABAP and JAVA.Please explain.
Cheers

Hi All,
Thanks to all you for your responses. I appreciate your time for going through my questions and coming forward to express your views.
However, I was looking for more specific "factual" answers. My question is "What does a client miss if they opt to install only ABAP based BI 7.0, as against JAVA Based BI 7.0"
thanks again.

I can not fine the Entity Bean's advantage than Java Bean?

I can not fine the Entity Bean's advantage than Java Bean,
can you tell me, thanks a lot?

I can not fine the Entity Bean's advantage than Java
Bean,
can you tell me, thanks a lot?I think you should read more of the EJB Spec. You'll find your answer there. But mainly with entities you can have the container manage all the lifecyle of the Bean (transactions, caching, creation, etc...). But entities are not only to map columns in the database, they are supposed to have business code. See more by reading the spec.

Javadoc with suffixes other than .java

Is it possible to use Javadoc on files that have an extension other than .java? I would like to be able to run it on my Weblogic Page Flows (.jpf)
Thanks
Kevin

Well I fixed my own problem :)
I wrote some perl to
- run through my source directories
- copy the .jpf files to .java
- run javadoc
- clean up temporary .java files

Can anyone tell me why javaFX better than applet?

I just have read the example of javaFX.And I have a question.
From the example.I don't see any good in javaFX.below is my opinion:
1.It seems like that the javaFX application is deploy as a applet or jnlp.This is what swing can also do;
2.javaFX's expression is sucks.Why don't use xml to declare the UI? I think as the application becomes larger,it is so difficult to maintain the project.But if I use swing or applet,I think it is better for me to maintain the project using oop.
3.I think what javaFX can do is also can be done by swing,why javaFX?
any apply is appreciated,thanks very much

Hi
1. JavaFx it is build over the Java2D and Swing. In fact it can not run without this 2 component ( at least now ). So what you can do in JavaFX you can also do on Swing and Java2D
2. I don't think xml syntax it is good to describe stuff like this . XML was design to store data not actions. When you design user interface you must declare what components or shape do you want to draw on the screen but also you must write the interaction between them . I don't think you can do this easy and nice in XML. Look at the Flex approach . They used for declaration of the GUI an XML and for comportment ActionScript. I don't like this because i must learn and study two "languages" to make a GUI.I've preferred one language.As you said it is better to use OOP . How can you do OOP in XML in a nice way ?
3. Because in JavaFX we do can more things easily . Look at this example : [http://silveiraneto.net/2008/07/31/javafx-creating-a-sphere-with-shadow/] . I don't think you can achieve the same results with Swing and Java2D with the same code line number.
Another difference between JavaFX and Swing is the syntax. The Sun want to create a language that can be used by designer and by programmer . The Swing can not be used by a designer . JavaFX used a more natural syntax. For example if you want to insert a shape in an array you must type in JavaFX :
insert Circle{radius:10} into array_variable . As you see it is more natural this syntax than Java equivalent.
Another difference it is how easy you can do things in JavaFX correctly . When you program in Java2D and Swing you must know very good the architecture of this components if you want to work correctly . You must know what is the Event Dispatch Thread and how you can used it . You must how you can work with multiple threads in Java2D and Swing . In JavaFX you don't need this . All of the tricks it is done by JavaFX ( not in this release . I hope the final release it will contains all these tricks) .
Best regards
Andrei Dore
