Useful java tips for effective code
The article “Extreme Performance Tuning” written by James McGovern and published in Java Developers Journal contains some valuable tips. These might look like minor code re-factoring changes but can significantly improve the performance of an application particularly if it is a web based application. During development the tendency is to forget thinking about the implications of the code when it is deployed and ready to use by users. A code that consumes resources beyond what it requires could cause catastrophic results when the number of invocations increases as the number of users using the application at the same time increases. So an ineffective code could cause that many times damage. The tips presented in the above article should be included as part of your standards/guidelines documentation and should be validated during the code review sessions of your project development lifecycle.
