Generating garbage…
At JCrete the last couple of years I’ve had the pleasure to be socializing with, among others, HFT people like Peter Lawrey and Martin Thompson. Those HFT dudes really makes me thinking when I’m implementing stuff. Thinking about how much … Continue reading
SafeEquals
I’m currently designing a user-authentication OAuth2 based service. I’m trying very hard never ever to reveal anything about users or passwords. Credential-lookup by userid is always done twice. If the user is not found a known dummy-user is looked up … Continue reading
YN
Yeah, I know, this isn’t rocket science. But it is rather nice 🙂 So, I’m working on this JEE project, backed by an Oracle database. Some of my work involves refactoring CMP 2.1 entities into JPA entities. Here I’m faced … Continue reading
Unit testing really simple implementations
As an independent subcontractor (freelance consultant) I get to work in various very different organisations, with very different approaches towards testing in general and unit-testing in particular.

Salesforce wsc hacking: adding RequestTimedOutException
I have a number of situations where a RequestTimedOutException would be appropriate instead of just a ConnectionException when SoapConnection.send() encounters a SocketTimeoutException. This would ease retry implementations (related to timeouts) in that they would only have to consider a special … Continue reading
Salesforce wsc hacking: removing compiler warnings
I hate compiler warnings. These little yellow warning signs in Eclipse annoys me. I will go far to avoid compiler warnings in my own code. But what about generated code? Actually generated code is the worst as it does not … Continue reading
Unit-testing time/timing dependent components
I’m often faced with developing components that are depending on time or timing, one way or the other. An example can be a query that returns all “active” rows, given current date/time and where the rows have effective and expiry … Continue reading
SimpleDateFormat instances are not thread-safe
It comes as a surprise to many developers that SimpleDateFormat instances are not thread-safe. Sometimes I encounter utility classes like below: public class DateUtil { public static final SimpleDateFormat ISO_DATE_FORMAT = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd"); public static final SimpleDateFormat SQL_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT = new … Continue reading
