I’ve been following it for a white now (including two somehwat popular posts about drag and drop and about enums, back when those weren’t so popular..) and it keeps getting better and better. Recently, in version 2.1, they’ve added something called the RequestFactory, […]]]> http://chaoticjava.com/posts/avoiding-getter-and-setter-pairs-in-gwt-requestfactory/feed/ 0 http://chaoticjava.com/posts/state-of-the-chaos-06-11/ http://chaoticjava.com/posts/state-of-the-chaos-06-11/#comments Mon, 27 Jun 2011 19:42:44 +0000 http://chaoticjava.com/?p=390 dzone_url = "http://chaoticjava.com/posts/state-of-the-chaos-06-11/";It’s been a while, and some might be wondering what I’ve been up to.

Java’s garbage collector has made life so easy for us developers that we sometimes confuse between deleting a reference, i.e. a task the GC does, and releasing a resource – a task the GC doesn’t do. That’s because the GC does something else for us called object finalization, […]]]> http://chaoticjava.com/posts/simple-solution-to-resource-collection/feed/ 8 http://chaoticjava.com/posts/java-logger-memory-leaks/ http://chaoticjava.com/posts/java-logger-memory-leaks/#comments Sun, 05 Jul 2009 18:13:52 +0000 http://chaoticjava.com/?p=292 dzone_url = "http://chaoticjava.com/posts/java-logger-memory-leaks/";Recently we switched from Log4J to the java.util.logger package (for this entry it will be called the “Java Logger”).
