I will not be there. And as Bob announced last meeting, he will not be there. Any possibility of a defferal? Thanks, George ... continues our exploration of...
In implementing a custom version of Set the following code was proposed to implement equals and hashcode. I was uncertain how it would weather code review and...
You guys go own without me. Save yourselves. I'll be all right... Seriously, I think WingDings should press on at the very least to maintain the momentum we...
Hey all, I would really like to hear people's opinions on setting up a study group in the work place. What are some of the potential pitfalls and difficultes...
I think the factors that lead to a successful study group in the work place are virtually identical to those factors that lead to a successful study group...
"One of the biggest issues is of course the reading and discussion can't be homework." Why not? I think that if people aren't willing to take a few hours to ...

Bob mentioned this presentation at a previous Wing Dings meeting, so I decided to upload it in advance of the Aug 26 meeting when we'll be reading the Generics...
Equals and hash code for Set have different contracts than equals and hash set for Object - equality only requires equal contents. This means that the hashcode...
And if that's not enough reading for you, try a 513 page FAQ on Generics: http://www.angelikalanger.com/GenericsFAQ/JavaGenericsFAQ.pdf On Tue, Aug 12, 2008 at...

In the last example we looked at today, I think we left out the final <T>, e.g. class Node<T extends Node<T>> { Node<T> next; } However, it seems you still...
... The problem here is that we want "next" in Node subclasses to be the subclasses, not the base Node class. So PremiumNode.next should be a PremiumNode (or...
What you want is a declaration that says "The same type as me". I've seen a couple other people come around to this idea, but I can't recall if anyone has...

Hi all, maybe some one can help me with a web app issue. My app serves google maps base layers tiles, for which the request includes a zoom level z, a row...
... What's the "cleanest" code you got so far? Is using Apache as a reverse proxy an option? mod_rewrite can reroute requests for existing files (provided the...
... Hi Eric, I am just using Tomcat, sorry I didn't mention my deployment setup. My current best effort is a servlet filter, with this doFilter: String sp =...
... Don't know of a standard way to forward a request to the default servlet. Did you consider simply returning cached resources yourself? This means you won't...
Stuart, I'm really not following this, or maybe I am and just not liking it. It seems to me that you don't really want a Servlet Filter at all here, but some...
Thanks for the replies. Bob, isn't your Cache object doing what my Filter does? An in my method, my servlet is not coupled to the cache, in yours it is. ...
... Won't clients retrieve images twice, then? You seem to have some 304 logic in the servlet (to handle conditional requests after loosing the cache?) anyway....
Sooner or later, if you write web apps, you should take the time to learn how to implement GET caching and expirations yourself. This becomes more and more...
