finalize() method in java

protected void finalize () throws Throwable {} every class inherits the  finalize()  method from java.lang.Object the method is called by the garbage collector when it determines no more references to the object exist the Object finalize method performs no actions but it may be overridden by any class normally it should be overridden to clean-up non-Java resources ie closing a file if overridding  finalize()  it is good programming practice to use a try-catch-finally statement and to always call  super.finalize() . This is a safety measure to ensure you do not inadvertently miss closing a resource used by the objects calling class protected void finalize () throws Throwable { try { close (); // close open files } finally { super . finalize (); } } any exception thrown by  finalize()  during garbage collection halts the finalization but is otherwise ignored finalize()  is ne...

Plain Old Java Objects (POJO)

What is a POJO? "A POJO is a simple ordinary java object that does not extends classes or implements interfaces from any frameworks or APIs" The term "POJO" is mainly used to denote a Java object which does not follow any of the major Java object models, conventions, or frameworks.  A POJO is a Java object that doesn't implement any special interfaces  ,extends classes, defined in frameworks and APIs.  Ideally speaking, a POJO is a Java object not bound by any restriction other than those forced by the Java Language Specification. i.e a  POJO  should not  have to. Extend prespecified classes, as in public class Foo extends javax. servlet . http . HttpServlet { ... Implement prespecified interfaces, as in public class Bar implements javax. ejb . EntityBean { ... Contain prespecified annotations, as in @javax. persistence . Entity public class Baz { ... However, due to technical difficulties and other reasons, many ...

Why Email attachments are downloaded as winmail.dat file ?

Transport-Neutral Encapsulation Format (TNEF) is Microsoft's non-standard format for encapsulating mail which has any non-plain-text content or properties (such as rich text, embedded OLE objects, voting buttons, and sometimes just attachments). Whether or not a given message is encoded using TNEF is determined by the Outlook default settings, per-recipient setting, Exchange Server settings, and message type and content. Once a TNEF message is used, the entire message, including all the original attachments and properties, is encapsulated in a single attachment of mime type "application/ms-tnef" added to the message to be sent over the Internet. This attachment is usually named "WINMAIL.DAT", and when sent to any non-MS mail client, is useless, and makes access to the original message attachments impossible. You can parse the winmail.dat file using the tnef.jar file in order to extract the attachments For more information please visit the belo...

Creating a Thread

Image
A Thread can be created in two ways. By Extending Thread class By Implementing Runnable interface Examples 1. Creating a Thread by extending Thread class class  MyThread  extends  Thread{   String s=null;    MyThread(String s1){    s=s1;    start();    }    public void  run(){    System.out.println(s);    } } public class  RunThread{    public static void  main(String args[]){         MyThread m1= new  MyThread( "Thread started...." );   } } 2. Creating a Thread by implementing Runnable interface class  MyThread1  implements  Runnable{    Thread t;   String s=null;    MyThread1(String s1){    s=s1;    t= new  Thread(this);    t.start();    }    public voi...
