Which object should i use ?

Hi,
I have a methode that returns several values of different types. Which objet should I use to return these values ? I thought of Vector but somebody told me that there is a better object than Vector.
thanks for your help !
Tex

First, always use an interface over an object if it exists. So, your code should always declare the instance variable as List, not ArrayList or Vector or LinkedList. This allows the implementation to be optimized for the task at hand (e.g. LinkedList for arbitrary insertions or deletions of data, ArrayList for better Iterator performance, etc.) while using the interface for the common List methods (e.g., get(), add(), remove(), iterator(), etc.)
Second, avoid Vector. Sun specifically states in the Collections tutorial that ArrayList is preferred over Vector.

    You could use Microsoft Office for Mac, but I would recommend iWork! It's a better set of applications for a much better price. I have used both and I prefer it over Office. And Pages can not only open Word documents, you can also save documents in Word format. My brother and I both used iWork as an Office substitute when we were in college (I graduated a few years ago and he just graduated last night) and haven't had any compatibility issues.

  • I have down loaded Aurora,Beta4,firefox. Which one should i use

    I have down loaded Aurora,Beta4,and Firefox. Which won should i use.'

    That is up to you to decide. For some details about the different versions see https://developer.mozilla.org/devnews/index.php/2011/04/07/new-development-channels-and-repositories-for-rapid-releases/
    If you have not used to testing software you should stick with the release version (Firefox 4.0.1).

  • Which CPU should I use

    Hello,
    our company want to buy new computers for the developers.
    We have to use Windows XP as our OS because of third party products.
    We develop J2SE + J2EE.
    So my question:
    Which CPU should we use?
    I searched at google but didn't found any usefull sides about benchmarking an J2SE VM or J2EE VM.
    Intel or AMD?
    Are there some issues to be regarded?
    Is the behavior of the VM different if you use an Intel or an AMD? (X86)
    Our AppServer is JBoss 3.2.3.
    Has Intel ore AMD some magic improvements for the SUN Java VM?
    Any answer would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Oliver

    Olli_ger,
    Thanks for asking. To add more to the question, what about dual- and
    multi-processors, such as Opteron 2xx and 8xx processors?
    That is, can, and to what extent, does the Java compiler and the JVM
    utilize multi-processors? And how is this done? Threads parceled out?
    Using what algorithms? Are there "best practices" for writing code
    that can exploit these chips?
    Given the recent emergence of dual-core processors from both AMD and
    Intel I would think Sun would have a white paper on this, but I've not
    been able to find anything.
    As I'm about to build a new system, and am looking at a dual processor
    board that could take two dual-core chips, I'd really like to know.
    Thanks again for opening the issue.

  • Which listener should be used for JTextArea

    Hi,
    I need to add a listener for JTextArea particualy when
    the text in the jtextarea is changed. I don't think
    mouse listener is enough, since the user can use tab to
    get to the jtextarea and edit the text. In this case,
    which listener should I use. Sample code would be
    helpful.
    In addition, I have a problem with the jtextarea that
    when user uses tab to go to different gui components,
    such as jtextfield, jcombobox, jtextarea, jlist, etc, the
    tab stays in the jtextarea and keeps appending to it. It does
    not go to next component, such as jlist. How can I make it
    work?
    Thanks in advance,
    Pin

    It doesn't work. Are you using 1.4 or 1.3? I am using
    1.4.
    In the 1.4 API, it says that isManagingFocus is
    "Deprecated".
    Here is what I have:
    JTextArea descrptArea = new JTextArea() {
    public boolean isManagingFocus() {
    return false;
    descrptArea.setRows(3);
    descrptArea.setLineWrap(true);
    descrptArea.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
    public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
    // DO SOMETHING
    I found the following code which says it will do it.
    However, I got the exeception:
    java.lang.ClassCastException:
    n: javax.swing.KeyStroke
    at java.util.TreeMap.compare(TreeMap.java:1081)
    at java.util.TreeMap.put(TreeMap.java:459)
    at java.util.TreeSet.add(TreeSet.java:205)
    Set forwardTraversalKeys = new TreeSet();
    forwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke('\t'));
    forwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEven
    .VK_TAB,
    InputEvent.CTRL_MASK));
    textArea.setFocusTraversalKeys
    (KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS,
    forwardTraversalKeys);
    Set backwardTraversalKeys = new TreeSet();
    backwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEve
    t.VK_TAB,
    InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK));
    backwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEve
    t.VK_TAB,
    InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK |InputEvent.CTRL_MASK));
    textArea.setFocusTraversalKeys(
    KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS,
    backwardTraversalKeys);
    Any idea???
    PinI'm not using 1.4 but the class cast exceptions look like they come from : Set forwardTraversalKeys=new TreeSet() etc
    try : TreeSet forwardTraversalKeys=new TreeSet()
    you cant cast from a Set to a TreeSet because a TreeSet is a Set but a Set is NOT a TreeSet.
    hope this helps.

  • Which situation should we use the text item with the item category TATX

    Dear experts!
    Thank you for your attention!
    I am confused with text item (TATX).
    which situation should we use the text item with the item category TATX????
    Someone told me that the text item is dummy and should be used as a manual of certain standard item. But the manual may be a book or several papers and it also takes up some inventory not a dummy.
    So, could some body tell me what the text item (TATX) exact is and what function it has.
    Best regard!
    Tangdark

    Hi,
    you can use TATX if you like to enter a text and to print some information between the item lines.

  • Impact Analysis: How to trace which objects and tables used in a report?

    Impact Analysis: How to trace which Webi objects and tables used in a report?
    Currently, our company have been using BO Webi as our ad-hoc and reporting tool for over a year now.  Past several months, we've been pushing our power users to develop their own report, and started to notice that we loss track off which data (tables, columns, ... , BO objects) being used where and by whom.   The BI team now spend more time tracing through reports manually, instead of designing Universe.
    After consulted with our local  SAP  technical sale, they said the only solution is to buy BO's ETL (Data Integration) and
    Metadata Management tool, which price starting from $300K per CPU.  I suppose that is NOT the right solution; however, we have not found one yet.  Some executives believe Cognos (now by IBM) would provide a better BI solution as we scale.
    If anyone know, please provide (1) Impact Analysis method: How to trace which Webi objects and tables used in a report? and (2) Does Cognos provide better impact analysis method without a heavy spending?
    Thank you very much,

    EdPC-SCB,
    have you tried enabling auditing?
    - Yes, audit log only shows user's activities which isn't useful for us. Please let us know any audit log that might be helpful .
    For most of the servers listed in the CMC there is an "Audit" tab.  I'd say if you have the disk space in your database for Auditor available, then if in doubt turn it on (at least for a while) to see if it exposes what you are seeking to find out --that'd be the quickest way.  The documentation (xir2_bip_auditor_en.pdf) doesn't offer much in helping you to see a correlation between ticking on an Audit option in a Server and how it will populate in the Auditor DB -- most of us just hunt and peck until we get what we want.  Once you have the good stuff in each of the Servers ticked on you'll be able to track down which report recieves which object.  To help youself out initially, you should run every report that you can find so Auditor will get seeded.
    thanks,
    John
