[Book] The Elements of Java™ Style

This book'd been written in 2001.

Some important principles of Java for the Java Application Developers are still same  and items for usage list are, of course,  valid for the given samples in this book.

I see many new beginners on the net and the forums that i followed.

For the accustoming to the java programming language syntax, this book is very very good guide.
I believe in that your code should be understandable for every code reviewer.
Ok, source code is very good documentation but code comments and variable names are important as much as the code bugs and  source code style shows the respect of your program that you write. This my personal opinion :-).

May be this book needs for update to the including new Java features. Maybe it exists.

Weblogic war files and libraries

If your web application requires some 3rd party libraries for the platform Weblogic, there are common used 2 different ways for running your application with including this archive files.

First one is adding this libraries to the classpath of Weblogic Server.

Second one is making definition in the weblogic.xml file of your project.
For instance:

  <container-descriptor>
    <prefer-web-inf-classes>true</prefer-web-inf-classes>
  </container-descriptor>

And for more information:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24329_01/web.1211/e21049/weblogic_xml.htm


If you've to use  3rd party jars with different versions, i think second way is better.
