Multiple Return Values in Java: related news

Multiple Return Values in Java

IconToday was one of those days when I wished Java would support multiple return values. I had to develop a rather CPU-intensive algorithm which would compute a solution for a knotty constraint problem. Having a solution alone is sometimes not enough and you also need to add some parameters which measure the quality of the computed outcome. Most of these accompanying parameters can or have to be computed within the algorithm itself, but Java allows you to return only one value either an object or a primitive type. People working with Lisp, MATLAB or Perl, just to mention a few, don't have a problem like this at all. Functions supporting multiple return values is already implemented at the language level and frameworks make heavy use of this.

The case for Java modularity

The lack of an effective modular programming model has frustrated Java developers since the Java platform's infancy. Until recently no single solution had stuck. In this article, Jeff Hanson explains why modularity is a next evolutionary step for the Java platform. He then surveys the two JSRs that propose to bring modularity to Java 7 -- JSR 291: Dynamic Component Support for Java SE and JSR 277: Java Module System. Both would bring the programming model popularized by OSGi to the Java platform, but they differ -- sometimes greatly -- in execution and philosophy.

Are Java Developers, Architects, and Technical Managers Becoming Java Dinosaurs?

With the rapid evolution that Java and open source frameworks have made since the release of J2EE, enterprise Java IT seems to be producing too many Java dinosaurs. Developers, technical managers, or architects who no longer pursue their technical skills don't understand the evolution of JEE in comparison to J2EE, persistence frameworks, IOC frameworks, Web frameworks, or Web 2.0 and its effects on enterprise Java. Yet decisions are made based on out-of-date J2EE experience.

Java update to boost applets

An impending update to Java might sound like just an incremental release, based on its cumbersome naming: Java Platform Standard Edition 6 Update 10 (Java SE 6 u10).? But the upgrade actually features technology considered critical to reviving the concept of client-side Java applets. Applet startup times are improved and applets can be turned into desktop widgets via different improvements in Java SE 6u10.

The New and Improved Next-Gen Java Applet Plug-in Technology

Next-Generation Java Plug-in Technology (available in the Java SE 6 Update 10, has breathed new life into Java applet technology for delivering programs over the web. At least that is what Dana Nourie and Kenneth Russell contend in their article entitled "Next Generation in Applet Java Plug-in Technology." Nourie and Russell write that the next-generation Java Plug-in offers a completely redesigned architecture that provides powerful new capabilities to applets in the web browser, while improving the overall reliability and functionality of applets in a backward-compatible manner. Among the benefits one might expect from next-gen applet technology are:

Sun delivers Java to Windows Mobile phone from HP

Sun is the company that created Java, so obviously getting wireless Java from Sun would mean that it would be better than getting it from some small company that has licensed it from Sun. However nowadays wireless Java is not particularly important... apart from rare situations, where no native applications are available for Windows Mobile, like it is in case of Google Mail (GMail) that is available as mobile web application or as Java midlet, but not as native Windows Mobile application.
