Java - Servlet general

Servlets are Java Programs that run on Web or applicatoin servers, acting as a middle layer between requests coming from Web browsers or other HTTP clients and databases or applicatoins on the HTTP server.  a somewhat oversimplified view of servlets is that they are Java programs with HTML embedded inside of them.

A somewhat oversimplified view of JSP documents is that they are HTML pages with Java code embedded inside of them.

Life Cycle:
When the servlet is first created, its init method is invoked, so init is where you put one-time setup code. After this, each user request results in a thread that calls the services method of the previously created instance. Multiple concurrent requests normally result in multiple threads calling service simultaneously, although your servlet can implement a special interface(SingleThreadModel) that stipulates that only a single thread is permitted to run at any one time. The service method checks the HTTP request type(GET,POST,DeLETE, etc) and calls  doGet,doPost, or another doXxx method as appropriate. Finally, if the server decides to unload a servlet, it first calls the servlet's destroy method.
comments: SingleThreadModel is deprecated in version 2.4 of the servlet specification)

The replacement solution:
Synchronize the code explicity: use the standard synchronization construct of the java programming language. Start a synchronized block just before the first access to the shared data, and end the block just after  the last update to the data, as follows.

synchronized(this) {
String id = "User-ID-" + nextID;
out.println("<H2>" + id + "</H2>");
nextID = nextID + 1;
}

Quicksort implementation by using Java

 source: http://www.algolist.net/Algorithms/Sorting/Quicksort. The divide-and-conquer strategy is used in quicksort. Below the recursion step is described: 1st: Choose a pivot value. We take the value of the middle element as pivot value, but it can be any value(e.g. some people would like to pick the first element and do the exchange in the end) 2nd: Partition. Rearrange elements in such a way, that all elements which are lesser than the pivot go to the left part of the array and all elements greater than the pivot, go to the right part of the array. Values equal to the pivot can stay in any part of the array. Apply quicksort algorithm recursively to the left and the right parts - the previous pivot element excluded! Partition algorithm in detail: There are two indices i and j and at the very beginning of the partition algorithm i points to the first element in the array and j points to the last one. Then algorithm moves i forward, until an element with value greater or equal

Live - solving the jasper report out of memory and high cpu usage problems

I still can not find the solution. So I summary all the things and tell my boss about it. If any one knows the solution, please let me know. Symptom: 1.        The JVM became Out of memory when creating big consumption report 2.        Those JRTemplateElement-instances is still there occupied even if I logged out the system Reason:         1. There is a large number of JRTemplateElement-instances cached in the memory 2.     The clearobjects() method in ReportThread class has not been triggered when logging out Action I tried:      About the Virtualizer: 1.     Replacing the JRSwapFileVirtualizer with JRFileVirtualizer 2.     Not use any FileVirtualizer for cache the report in the hard disk Result: The japserreport still creating the a large number of JRTemplateElement-instances in the memory        About the work around below,      I tried: item 3(in below work around list) – result: it helps to reduce  the size of the JRTemplateElement Object        

Stretch a row if data overflows in jasper reports

It is very common that some columns of the report need to stretch to show all the content in that column. But  if you just specify the property " stretch with overflow' to that column(we called text field in jasper report world) , it will just stretch that column and won't change other columns, so the row could be ridiculous. Haven't find the solution from internet yet. So I just review the properties in iReport one by one and find two useful properties(the bold  highlighted in example below) which resolve the problems.   example: <band height="20" splitType="Stretch" > <textField isStretchWithOverflow="true" pattern="" isBlankWhenNull="true"> <reportElement stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject" mode="Opaque" x="192" y="0" width="183" height="20"/> <box leftPadding="2"> <pen lineWidth="0.25"/>
