Reloading class using spring-loaded Jar

As a  java developer using eclipse, every time, when we made the change on the class, annotation or the xml files, eclipse will pop up a message let us decide ‘continue, restart  tomcat and more’. I am kind of appreciate its kindness. However,  most of the time, I have to select ‘restart’. So, I just wish eclipse  or tomcat can help to reload class files and don’t bother me that option.

Before, I found jRebel which is perfect for my wishing. It is just hard to push management team pay for that  $365 per license annually.

So, I need to cater myself and the one I can afford which is $0 a year, and it’s using Apache License.

How to config?

#2 in your eclipse, adding below arguments in the VM arguments. You need to amend the path to the jar file in your machine.

-Djavaagent:C:/Dev/lib/springloaded-1.1.2.20130430.jar –noverify

#3 Ready to go

  1. in my case it worked as:
    -javaagent:/path_to_jar/springloaded.jar -noverify

  2. Thanks. Yours are more generic :)

  3. On a Windows Service tomcat installation I found that I had to use

    -Xverify:none
    -javaagent:"C:\path_to_jar\springloaded-1.2.1.RELEASE.jar"

    notice I used -Xverify:none instead of -noverify, otherwise it woudn't recognize the command, spent hours troubleshooting because of that little detail.

    I find that it works great for changing method bodies or constructors, but it doesn't actually let me add new methods or fields, they don't get recognized until I restart the app, which is a bummer, and it's strange because their documentation says otherwise.

    Does anybody have the same problem? JVM has java 7 but the project's source level is set to java 6

  5. The hephen before noverify is not formatted properly for copying and pasting over but it works after I replaced it (with correct mapping of course).

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"/>
