SQL, static classes and sessionBeans

Hi,
my JSF-project has one static class where it handle all sql-queries and I asked me if that is the "best" solution.
I.e. a User-Sessionbean call that static class to save his data into the user-sql-table. I asked myself, if it might not better to delete this static class and let the user-sessionbean save his data itself.
If my webserver has 100 usersessions and 50 users save their data at same time, does the "static-sql-save-version" has only one sql-connection and 49 user have to wait in a queue? And with the "every-usersession-has-his-own-sql-save-method" I have got 50 DB connection at the same time?
I hope you could help me :)

you will gain some bytes by merging all the static classes in one.
you can create a ManagerTool.java class and write inside all the static methods ...

Static class and clustering

          I have a static class that I use to cache some values during a batch process. The
          batch process uses a JMS queue to parcel our identical units of work to MDBs.
          I want this to scale using a cluster with the same MDBs on multiple machines.
          Everything works fine except that I can't figure out how to tell my cache to clear
          itself out on every node between batch runs. Is there a pattern or solution to
          this problem?
          What I've tried is to create a stateless session bean method that clears my cache.
          At the begining of my batch job, (which is a stateless session bean call) I call
          this method on each server in the cluster by getting the remote interface for
          the stateless bean via the different URLs of the servers. However, the session
          bean method always executes on the one server where I make the call. It's as if
          WebLogic gives me back a local interface instead of the remote interface that
          I asked for.
          Any ideas would be appreciated.

... static class and static method.I have never heard of a thing called "static class". Perhaps you mean a class with only static members?
My design approach (which is bound to needs of the moment and seldom to library-development or future re-use, since both is harder than most developers realize) is to develop straight without caring too much about static or not. When a method is done, debugged and works well, it happens that other objects access this method as well.
It may happen that I just want to use this single method and almost nothing else of the object. If that is the case, I can start looking if it's a Good Thing(tm) to make the method static, so no object creation is needed just for the one method. Sometimes it can be done, sometimes not.
But that's just me and you'll find quite a lot of coders that'll advice you to decide what's static and what not before you start coding. And that's as good an advice as most others you can get.
In the end it's your decision, so start fiddling around and see what fits best for you.

Static classes and variables

Hello,
I put all of my constants in an *{color:#3366ff}interface{color}* called Constants.java (I only put constants in this file) and when obfuscated the Constants.class file is removed from .jar and constants are inlined into classes this is Great! However, do I gain anything by placing all of my static methods into one class? Currently, there are all over the place and also I have classes that are already static like HttpMgr.java/ErrorMgr.java/InfoMgr.java I am thinking about merging these classes together with all static methods defined within the project. Do I gain or loss anything by doing this?
Thanks!

"Static" class and application server

Hi, i have a little problem. I need to load a "static" class of a web application, deployed on Bea WebLogic 7 (or Tomcat), when the application server is starting.
Is it possible ? If yes, how can i do ?
Thanks

Yes, It's call from a servlet and the servlet is loaded on start up.
But I have resolved my problem this morning, however thanks for help. :)

Difference between a static class and singleton

What is the difference between a static object and a singleton ?
for example:
1 )
public class MyObject {
static MyObject singleton ;
public static MyObject getInstance() {
if (singleton ==null) singleton = new MyObject ();
return singleton;
private MyObject () {
supe();
public void myMethod() {
2 )
public class MyObject {
private MyObject () {
supe();
public static void myMethod() {
If I need to call the myMethod() , witch of this solution is better ?
// case 1
MyObject.getInstance().myMethod()
// case 2
MyObject.myMethod()
.....

This has been discussed a lot here.
Use the forum's search feature, or, since it's not necessarily reliable, use google.
For many intents and purposes, they're equivalent.
However, with a singleton you can implement an interface, and get polymorphic behavior. You can't do with with a class full of static methods (which, by the way, is NOT a static class).

Difference between static class and singleton?

Hi I wonder what could be the difference between static methods and singleton?
In singleton at any point of time there will be only one object existing in the JVM. We create singleton to avoid multiple object creation for that class.
If I make all the methods in the class as static also it does the same job. The memory will be allocated once. Even there wont be any object in this case, so time required for object creation also can be saved. looks like more efficient but still why need singleton?
This question is also posted in java programming forum. The thread is as follows:-

Singleton pattern class and static class

Hi,
what is difference between the singleton pattern class and static class ?
in singleton pattern, we declare a static member[which hold one value at a time] ,static method[ which return static member value] and a private constructor[not allow to direct instantiation]. My words are -- as a singleton pattern we implement static class .
so can we say a singleton pattern is static class it means both are same or is any difference between these two ??

On several occasions I've had to convert a static (never instanceated) class to a singleton type, for example because I realise I need an instance per thread, or I decide to make a program more modular, with more than one configuration.
I've never done the opposite.
So generally I favour the singleton if there any "state" involved, because it's more flexible in unanticipated directions. It also gives extra flexibility when building tests, especially if you program to an interface.Total agreement; if anything it is dead hard to override static method logic with mock code in unit tests (I had to do it by keeping the static methods in place but making them internally use a singleton instance of itself of which the instance variable could be overwritten with a mock implementation for unit testing purposes...).
'Static classes' and/or methods are great for very simple util functions, but I wouldn't use them for anything other than that.

Static class

Hello
at the start of my programme I would like to store some valuse (the values are trhe user rights that will be read from the data base) these values will never change during the execution of the programme.
so I was told that the best is to create a static class ...
can any one post an example of static class and how to store the values inside
and how to read it back
or just any link that speak about this
thank you in advance.

yeah i understand the ?:;
my question was on the form of the newthe code checks to see if an instance of Example already exists, and if it does, it returns that. if not, it creates a new one first. theoretically, only one instance will ever exist, but in practice, this variant of the pattern isn't thread-safe. simplest singleton:
public class MySingleton {
private static MySingleton INSTANCE = new MySingleton();
private MySingleton() {}
public static MySingleton getInstance() {
return INSTANCE;
}still lazily-loaded, despite what people might tell you, since the class itself is only loaded when you first need it

What is static class ?

I know about static function.
What is static class?
What is the use of static class?
how can i use static class.?
Give me a static class example?

Static class and singleton are similar but they are not the same. A singleton is instantiated, and you have a reference to it - just one single reference no matter how many times you instantiate it. Singletons are good for data storage, config settings, loggers things that you may need all around your application, but you always want the same one.
A static class is not instantiated - an example of this is Flash's Math class. You can just do Math.sin() and get a result, you don't instantiate it in order to use it. Static classes are good for utility classes... essentially they are simply a namespace for a group of methods.
Oh, and you said you know about static function - what is static class - a static class then is just one that contains only static functions/methods.

Do Static Classes exist?

Does Java allow the creation of static classes, and if so does that mean an instance of the class cannot be created? I know that a class can have static methods that only access static instance variables, but I don't know if that means that the class itself is static. I ask because I realized that you can't declare a static class like "public static class A {...}"

@OP. An inner class can be declared to be static,but
top level classes can't be static.
But that doesn't mean the static inner class
can't be instantiated (which seems to be what the OP
is thinking of).That was an answer to the topic - "Do static classes exist?", and the question does also say:
"Does Java allow the creation of static classes, and if so does that mean an instance of the class cannot be created?"
So I thought that the OP also wanted to know if static classes existed.

About static class

Dose Java has Static class?
What is diff between static class and a final class which all method are static in java?

Dose Java has Static class?yes, but only if the class is an inner class
a static inner class does not have a reference to its enclosing class - because of this, a static inner class cannot use this to access any instance variable of the enclosing class
however, a static inner may access all static variables of the enclosing class
What is diff between static class and a final class
which all method are static in java?a static inner class is linke any other class in java
a final class with static methods is like the java.lang.Math class - you cnnot subclass it and do normally not instantiate it
hope that helps

Nested Classes and Static Methods

I was perusing the Java Tutorials on Nested Classes and I came across this...
[http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/javaOO/nested.html|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/javaOO/nested.html]
I was reading the documentation and I read a slightly confusing statement. I was hoping some further discussion could clarify the matter. The documentation on "Nested Classes" says (I highlighted the two statements, in bold, I am having trouble piecing together.)
Static Nested Classes
As with class methods and variables, a static nested class is associated with its outer class. And like static class methods, a static nested class cannot refer directly to instance variables or methods defined in its enclosing class ? it can use them only through an object reference.
Note: A static nested class interacts with the instance members of its outer class (and other classes) just like any other top-level class. In effect, a static nested class is behaviorally a top-level class that has been nested in another top-level class for packaging convenience.
So this means a nested static inner class CANNOT refer to its own instanced variables, like a normal static method, but CAN refer to its outer class instanced variables?

So this means a nested static inner class CANNOT refer to its own instanced variables, like a normal static method, but CAN refer to its outer class instanced variables?No, it means that a static nested class cannot refer to instance variables of its enclosing class. Example:public class Foo {
    int i;
    static class Bar {
        int j = i; // WRONG! Bar class is static context
}~

Private inner class and static private inner

Hi,
I understand the concept and usage of inner classes in general.
When should we go for a private inner class and when for a static private inner class? I tried searching but it wasn't of much help.
Basically I need to design a caching solution in which I need to timestamp the data object. After timestamping, data will be stored in a HashMap or some other collection. I'm planning to use a wrapper class (which is inner and private) which holds the data object and timestamp. I can make the program work by using either normal inner class or static inner class, however would like to know which is better in such case. Also If I can get some general guidelines as to when to use a staic inner class and when to use a normal inner class, it would help me.
Thanks in advance.

If the inner class needs to access non-static fields or methods from the containing class instance
the inner class has to be non-static.

How do i create a static function in a class and implement ActionListener?

i am trying to create a pop up dialog box in a seperate class.
and i want to make the Function static, so that i only need to access it with the class name.
But how do i have a ActionListener ?
everything in a static function is static rite?

Pass table rowtype between java class and PL/SQL package

I am a complete newbie when it comes to java itself but I've been asked to investigate the possibility of passing a rowtype datatype from a PL/SQL package to a java class and vice versa.
I have heard of oracle.sql.ArrayDescriptor as an option but this appears to address only SQL types that are defined outside of a package.
I'm talking about using, say, SCOTT.EMP%rowtype instead of a user-defined type. I'm thinking that a java array could be defined from the definition of a table in the database but I don't know what class would be appropriate.
Could someone provide a simple proof-of-concept example that shows how you could use a java array to pass data to a package that is expecting a table rowtype variable and conversely a java class that reads the rowtype returned into a java array?
Would oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDatabaseMetaData be a way of doing this?
Thanks!

Kuassi:
 
Not at all. I didn't feel like you misled me at all. I'm grateful for your help. I think that maybe I failed to describe my problem adequately in the first place.
 
Perhaps I've also gotten stuck on the term ref cursor.
 At any rate, the people I'm gathering information for have further refined their requirement. We want to take a collection of data and send it to a procedure. It doesn't have to be a "ref cursor" or "%rowtype" per se, but something that is maintainable and workable from both ends.
 
For example, to use the old SCOTT/TIGER paradigm, let's suppose we have a website where you can indicate which employees work for a given department. The website allows us to fill in information for multiple employees at once. We want to use a servlet that gathers all the employees data and sends it on through to a PL/SQL package so that the data is validated and committed in the database. 
Perhaps the java servlet should handle the multiple employee records as an array? If so, how can a PL/SQL procedure be made to recognize that construct? 
I can accept that java cannot create a "ref cursor" type to send information to a package, but might this be possible via some other implementation?
 
Hopefully this is a little more clear. If not, please let me know and I'll try to inject more details as to what we are trying to accomplish.
 
Once again, thanks for your persistent replies and help.
