I am reading about Template design pattern . As per my current understanding, Template design pattern can be used when we have an algorithm with defined set of processes(methods) to be done in order. Main players are 1. Abstract Template class providing a template method defining the processes (methods) and the order of execution. Usually this method is made final, so as its behavior is not modified. Few of the processes(methods) mentioned in the template method are provided with default implementation and others depending upon the concrete classes extending the Abstract template class types

I just noticed that JDK 6 has a different approach to setting a default TimeZone than JDK5. Previously the new default would be stored in a thread-local variable. With JDK6 (I just reviewed 1.6.0.18) the implementation has changed, so that if the user can write to the "user.timezone" property, or if there is no SecurityManager installed, the timezone changes VM-wide! Otherwise a thread-local change occurs. Am I wrong? This seems to be quite a drastic change, and I couldn't find anything on the web about it. Here is the JDK6 code: private static boolean hasPermission() { boolean hasPermission =

How do I redirect verbose garbage collection output to a file? Sun’s website shows an example for Unix but it doesn't work for Windows. From the output of java -X : -Xloggc:<file> log GC status to a file with time stamps Documented here : -Xloggc: filename Sets the file to which verbose GC events information should be redirected for logging. The information written to this file is similar to the output of -verbose:gc with the time elapsed since the first GC event preceding each logged event. The -Xloggc option overrides -verbose:gc if both are given with the same java command. Example: -Xloggc
