Java Object Factories

Hi,
I'm learning about the use of Java Object Factories, are there any good links or tutorials that cover this topic? I have already read through the trail written by Sun on Java Object Factories.
Am I right to say that with Object Factories, given that there are 5 instansiated classes (objects), these can be referenced by checking against the context of the Object Factory that contains the directory where these objects are?
Thanks.

Am I right to say that with Object Factories,
given that there are 5 instansiated classes
(objects), these can be referenced by checking against
the context of the Object Factory that contains the
directory where these objects are?I think you may be looking for too specific a definition of "factory".
One could make a factory that has as a property a given directory, and uses that to produce its objects, I suppose. Not sure if that's what you're asking.

  • Y in java objects are created on heap only and not on stack ??

    Hi ,
    I need a answer to the question " why all the objects are created on heap only in java and not on stack " ?
    In java a object is created when we specify new i.e. for example,
    consider the following cases.
    1.
    Vector v = new Vector();
    here object is created and the reference to this object is assigned to variable v. okie.
    2.
    when i write something like
    Vector vec ;
    Here i am creating reference variable for Vector. No object is created and no seperate memory is allocated for it. Reference variablesa are stored along with other primitive variables on the java stack.
    My question is, in C++ by writing case 2 i can create an object and it is creating this object on stack. So why in java object is not created on stack while i do like this ? Why in java objects are created on heap only ?
    If my question is out of interest of this forum i apologize for it. But if somebody can throw some light on it, it would be of great help.
    Cheers !!

    Hi
    I asked this question just to understand how compiler and jvm cud have been designed......i.e. to know the philosophy behind designing language.......
    now what i cud surmise is that if objects were to be stored in stack then on calling garbage colllector , it may delete some unused obj and unreferenced object(unreachable object) and this in turn may give rise to non-contagious areas in stack, thus nullifying the garbage collector's objective of freeing the the memory. Again deallocating that intersperse spaces into one free block of space will be bit troublesome task.....
    So considering above factor the designer of jvm and java compiler have opted for storing objects on heap rather than stack.....
    If u have something to say bout this.......pls go ahead.......
    Cheers !!

  • Generation of XML file from Java objects using castor

    I have the following java file(Customer.java).
    public class Customer

         private MiddleName middleName;
         private LastName lastName;
         private ArrayList address;

              return firstName;
         public void setFirstName(FirstName firstName) {
              this.firstName = firstName;
         public String getID() {
              return ID;

              return middleName;
         public void setMiddleName(MiddleName middleName) {
              this.middleName = middleName;
    Using castor i have created an xml file(customer.xml) which has the following format.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    - <customer ID="fbs0001">
    <FIRSTNAME>Fred</FIRSTNAME>
    <MIDDLENAME>B</MIDDLENAME>
    <LASTNAME>Scerbo</LASTNAME>
    - <ADDRESS>
    <FIRSTLINE>No 18, Sheshadri road</FIRSTLINE>
    <SECONDLINE>Gandhinagar Bangalore</SECONDLINE>
    </ADDRESS>
    - <ADDRESS>
    <FIRSTLINE>ITPL</FIRSTLINE>
    <SECONDLINE>Whitefield Bangalore</SECONDLINE>
    </ADDRESS>
    </customer>
    I have used a mapping file to get this output.Is there a way where i can get the output xml in the following format without changing the Java object structure.If yes then please suggest how this can be done.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    - <customer ID="fbs0001">
    <FIRSTNAME>Fred</FIRSTNAME>
    <MIDDLENAME>B</MIDDLENAME>
    <LASTNAME>Scerbo</LASTNAME>
    </customer>
    <ADDRESS>
    <FIRSTLINE>No 18, Sheshadri road</FIRSTLINE>
    <SECONDLINE>Gandhinagar Bangalore</SECONDLINE>
    </ADDRESS>
    - <ADDRESS>
    <FIRSTLINE>ITPL</FIRSTLINE>
    <SECONDLINE>Whitefield Bangalore</SECONDLINE>
    </ADDRESS>
    I mean the output xml file should have the address as a separate tag not withing the root tag customer.

    Hello,
    Castor's own discussion groups might be able to point you to the solution you're looking for (if this use case is possible using Castor).
    Oracle has its own object-to-XML mapping tool that is part of the TopLink product. It allows you to map existing objects to an existing XML Schema. This can be done visually using the TopLink Workbench, or programmatically using the TopLink APIs. TopLink OXM also supports the JAXB specification.
    Using TopLink OXM to get the desired XML result I would recommend the following. Map the Customer and Address classes to XML, but don't map the relationship between Customer and Address. Then make the calls to the marshaller something like the following:
    marshaller.marshal(aCustomer, System.out);
    for(int x=0; x<aCustomer.getAddress().size(); x++) {
         marshal(aCustomer.getAddress().get(x), System.out);
    Example - Using TopLink OXM to map an existing object model to an existing XML Schema:

  • Empty strings when passing a Java object to a Stored Procedure

    Hi,
    I'm using the interface SQLData to pass Java objects to StoredProcedures. All the object's attributes 'arrive' to the Stored Procedure ok, except the strings, which are empty.
    Here is my Oracle object:

    ARG2 NUMBER(4),
    ARG3 CHAR(4),
    ARG4 NUMBER(7),

    The procedure declaration:
    PROCEDURE Pup_Instaura_Processo (                              x_crCert IN TAB_ASJFF_OBJ1,

    I have a Java Stored procedure which takes an instance of a different java object as its parameter.
    I need to do this from a pl/sql package - can anyone point me to a sample etc (looked on the website but don't see one) ?

  • Problem with XMLEncoder for complex java object i

    Hi All.
    My problem with XMLEncoder is it doesnt transfrom java objects without default no arguement constructor. I was able to resolve this in my main java object class, by setting a new persistence delegate, but for other classes that are contained in the main class, they are not being encoded.
    Thanks in advance for your answers

    Better to put this in java forum :-)
    Just check, if this helps.

  • Compare two Java Objects without Comparable / Comparator

    Hi Friends,
    I would like to compare two java objects (lots o attributes) without using Comparable / Comparator.
    Any suggestion/sample code would be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Sachin

    I suppose you could design another feature to compare Objects... but that would involve a design process, so asking for sample code is definitely premature. And as EJP says, what would be the point?
    At least that's what I would answer if this was one of those stupid interview questions.

  • How to reference multiple instances of the same Java object from PL/SQL?

    Dear all,
    I'm experimenting with calling Java from PL/SQL.
    My simple attempts work, which is calling public static [java] methods through PL/SQL wrappers from SQL (and PL/SQL). (See my example code below).
    However it is the limitation of the public static methods that puzzels me.
    I would like to do the following:
    - from PL/SQL (in essence it needs to become a forms app) create one or more objects in the java realm
    - from PL/SQL alter properties of a java object
    - from PL/SQL call methods on a java object
    However I fail to see how I can create multiple instances of an object and reference one particular object in the java realm through public static methods.
    My current solution is the singleton pattern: of said java object I have only 1 copy, so I do not need to know a reference to it.
    I can just assume that there will only ever be 1 of said object.
    But I should be able to make more then 1 instance of an object.
    To make it more specific:
    - suppose I have the object car in the java realm
    - from PL/SQL I want to create a car in the java realm
    - from PL/SQL I need to give it license plates
    - I need to start the engine of a scpecific car
    However if I want more then 1 car then I need to be able to refrence them. How is this done?
    Somehow I need to be able to execute the following in PL/SQL:
    DECLARE
    vMyCar_Porsche CAR;
    vMyCar_Fiat CAR;
    BEGIN
    vMyCar_Porsche = new CAR();
    vMyCar_Fiat = new CAR();
    vMyCar_Porsche.setLicensePlates('FAST');
    vMyCar_Porsche.startEngine();
    vMyCar_Fiat.killEngine();
    END;
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,

    You can do this by manually creating a new iterator binding in your binding tab.
    So instead of dragging the VO directly to the page, go to the binding tab, add a new executable iterator binding, and point to that one from your ELs in the page itself.

    }OK, My questions are:
    [1]. what I generated XML by XSTream is very complicated, especially for object LocationTest, Can we make it as simple as others such as Person object??
    [2]. after I run it, LocationTest will popup and a red ball in a panel will dsiplay, after I change red ball's position, I hope to persist it to xml, then when I read it back, I hope to get same picture, ie, red ball stiil in old position, How to do that??
    Thanks a lot!!

    Positive feedback? Then please take this in a positive way: if you want to work on persisting Java objects into XML, then GUI programming is irrelevant to that goal. The 1,000 lines of code you posted there appeared to me to have a whole lot of GUI code in it. You should produce a smaller (much smaller) example of what you want to do. Calling the working code from your GUI program should come later.

  • How can I call a java object from Web dynpro ABAP application?

    I made Web dynpro ABAP application and posted it to SAP EP.
    For certain business purpose, we need to call external 3rd party java object using 3rd party's java api in Web dynpro application.
    Is there anybody who experienced this kind of java interface issue?
    I know Web dynpro Java environment can fully support this kind of requirement. but regarding Web dynpro ABAP, I couldn't find any clue for this.
    Any comment or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Raymond, ABAP Consultant

    if you have jco configured, then you can make calls to java api from ABAP .

  • How to insert a java object int derby database

    hi,
    i have a problem , ie..i want to insert my java object int database derby.and also i need to retrieve that object from database whenever i need. Any body help me to do that in derby...
    Thanks

    Or you would design a table where the columns of the table correspond to attributes of the object. Then you would make a row by writing out the attributes to the columns they correspond to.

    I'm having some trouble figuring out how to implement the XMLDAO.getObject(Node n) method. I was thinking of maintaining a Stack of the previous Objects as I traverse the DOM, but I think that might be unnecessary work. Basically I'm wondering how I determine what the last "object" is in the DOM from any given node. Anyone have any input?

    I think the end of my post got cut off:

  • Invoking a AXIS Web Service with a Java object as input argument

    Hi
    I've been trying to execute a bpel process that invokes a web service deployed through axis.
    This web service takes a java object as input argument as opposed to data types that are directly mapped to java types through the SOAP engine.
    I deployed and tested the service outside of BPEL using a test client class. Everything works well.
    When I try to configure the "Assign" and "Invoke" activities so that service can be invoked, I cannot see the data structure through the variable picker and I see the following message:
    "The element {urn:ComplexTypeWebService}TimeSheetBean is not know to the schema container. Perhaps a schema file that uses it needs to include or import its definition.There mat also be an XML schema issue (non resolvable schema) which prevents {urn:ComplexTypeWebService}TimeSheetBean from being seen by the schema processor."
    Is there any example that demonstrates how to invoke an axis web service in such scenario? What am I doing wrong?
    Please, let me know.

    The passing of Java objects in and out of a web service is NOT supported. variables must be xml documents defined by a XML schema. In my opinion, missing Java object and WSDL is not a good idea. -Edwin

  • Calling Web Service Proxy with Custom java Object as parameter

    I created a web service proxy from WSDL URL using JDeveloper 11g(.5 version)
    I need to call a webservice method which takes custom Java Object( Ex: ABC.java) as Input parameter. It creates the XSD java (ABC.java) file for that.
    @XmlElementRef(name = "abc", namespace = "http://impl.service.ns.test", type = JAXBElement.class)
    protected JAXBElement<ABC> abc;
    ABC.java has a property of type java.util.Set of a custom Java Object (Set<XYZ.class>)
    It doesn't create xsd file for XYZ.java.
    @XmlElementRef(name = "XYZ", namespace = "http://model.ns.test/xsd", type = JAXBElement.class)
    protected JAXBElement<Set> xyz;

  • Urgent: How to find out the size in bytes of java object

    Hi Experts,
    We've a requirement that we need to find out the size of a java object at run time, is there a direct java API to get the size of a composite object in memory?
    Here is my requirement: We are adding string objects (which is an xml string of considerable size) into a List. After reaching certain size limit (lets say 5MB) of the list i need to put this data into DB as a CLOB. So every time I add a string object to the list, I need to see if the total size of the list exceeds the limit and if yes, flush the results into DB.
    I am not sure if java has a direct API for this, if not what is the beast way to do it, it s critical requirement for us.
    It would be really great if someone could help us out.
    Thank you,
    -Shibu.

    Could you explain your actual requirement a little more fully.
    1. Is each individual string a separate XML string? Or is it just a fragment? Why would you just concatenate them together into a CLOB? That won't produce valid XML and it won't let you easily separate the pieces again later. So provide a simple example showing some strings and how you need to manipulate them.
    2. Are you using these xml strings in Java at all? Or are you just loading them into the database?
    For example if you are just loading them into the database you don't need to create a list. Just create a CLOB in Java and append each string to the CLOB. Before you append each one you can check to see if the new string will put you over your length limit. If it will then you write the CLOB to the database, empty the CLOB and start appending again to the new clob instance.
    If you explain what you are really trying to do we might be able to suggest some better ways to do it.
