Just when it seems I’ve decided I dislike Java for real, I find something that changes my mind. Now I have some ammunition to use when people ask me how the JVM is able to be faster in certain situations that a traditional program.

I’m quite taken by it: CPAN’s JDBC.

Gavin King mentioned today that Hibernate 3.1 is going to have Pluggable Session Management. Session management is probably one of the most irritating parts of Hibernate. This could open the door for a significant improvement in this area. I’m excited!

R.J. Lorimer put up an article today reminding Hibernate users that caching doesn’t ‘just work’. The article gives some insight into Hibernate’s second-level and query caches. The real lesson here is to read the caching section of Hibernate’s documentation. My latest project uses Hibernate but has completely...

My current project utilizes Hibernate to abstract away the database access. I’m very happy with it, as any performance sensitive spots can easily be implemented with straight JDBC. Anyway, there is one thing that I’d like to clear up. When you represent an object’s relationships with a Set, you add something like this to [...]

Tested this and it’s compatible with Perl’s Digest::MD5: StringBuilder hexString = new StringBuilder(); byte[] bytes = digester.digest(); for (int i=0;i >> 4) & 0×0F)); hexString.append(Integer.toHexString(0×0F & bytes[i])); } // hexString.toString() will give you your hex string!
