Articles flash: subclassing builders, method/class/package sizes

A quickie:

When you have a class with a builder, and you want to subclass that class, you also want to subclass the builder. But things get nasty quickly, as your subtypes' builder doesn't work nicely.
A good solution from Stackoverflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17164375/subclassing-a-java-builder-class

Also, a thingie on sizes. When is a class too big, when is a method too big, when is a package kinda big:
https://www.javacodegeeks.com/2012/12/rule-of-30-when-is-a-method-class-or-subsystem-too-big.html

Although I don't agree on the rule of thirty (I think it's too big. Maybe 30/10/10 is more appropriate), it's a good start, and has some nice references.

Spring's conditional annotation with properties

Spring has a nice @Conditional annotation, to have the option to have beans be available in the context depending a specific condition (Of course, this can also be realized by using @Configuration objects, but that's a different post). Ideally, we'd have the option to have a condition evaluate to true or false depending on a property. Sadly, Spring does not support that out of the box. Googling and looking around gives a partial solution, but the complete one here, so we won't forget: /** * Components annotated with ConditionalOnProperty will be registered in the spring context depending on the value of a * property defined in the propertiesBeanName properties Bean. */ @Target({ ElementType.TYPE, ElementType.METHOD }) @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) @Conditional(OnPropertyCondition.class) public @interface ConditionalOnProperty { /** * The name of the property. If not found, it will evaluate to false. */ String value(); /** * if the p...

OSGI insights without sonar

So I was on a project without sonar. Oh my. Well, it was an OSGI project, so the problems couldn't be that bad, right? But how good were they (and what things were bad?) I found Stan4j , a code analysis tool for eclipse, which draws nice graphs and can handle osgi pretty well it seems. Now I can see that dependencies/bundle names aren't properly aligned (even though OSGI doesn't complain), etc.

JPA and transactions

So I was working with JPA and transactions. Consider the following: In bean 1, with implicit TX 1, managed entities are loaded/created,and returned in bean 2, with implicit TX 2, entities are modified in bean 3, with NO TX, bean 1 is called, and the results are passed to bean 2. and bean 4 is similar to bean 3, but with it's own transaction, TX3 What happens when bean 3 finishes: are the entities updated? What happens when bean 4 finishes, are the entities updated? The answer to this is simple; entities are managed through a persistance context. That context is tied to the transaction. So in bean 2, there is a difference. When called from bean 3, it runs in a different transaction then bean 1, and thus a different persistance context, and thus the entities are not managed 'by this transaction'.When called from bean 4, it all runs in the same transaction, TX3, and the results are persisted.
