How to implement Command Design Pattern in Java with Example

Hello guys, it's been a long since I have shared a Java design pattern tutorial. I did share some courses to learn design patterns but haven't really talked about a particular design pattern in depth. So, today, we'll learn one of the important design pattern, which is often overlooked by Java developers. Yes, I am talking about the Command Pattern which can help you write flexible, loosely coupled code for implementing actions and events in your application. In simple words, the command design pattern is used to separate a request for action from the object which actually performs the action. This decoupling between Invoker and Receiver objects provides a uniform way to perform different types of actions. This decoupling is achieved using a Command object, which is usually an interface with methods like execute(). 

Can a Non Static Method Access a Static Variable/Method in Java?

"Can a non-static method access a static variable or call a static method" is one of the frequently asked questions on the static modifier in Java, the answer is, Yes, a non-static method can access a static variable or call a static method in Java. There is no problem with that because of static members i.e. both static variable and static methods belong to a class and can be called from anywhere, depending upon their access modifier. For example, if a static variable is private then it can only be accessed from the class itself, but you can access a public static variable from anywhere.

How to create Tabs UI using HTML, CSS, jQuery, JSP and JavaScript? Example

JSP is still a popular technology for developing view part of Struts and Spring-based Java applications, but unfortunately, it doesn't have rich UI support available in GWT, or any other library. On another day, we had a requirement to display HTML tables inside tabs, basically, we had two tables of different data set and we need to display them in their own tabs. Users can navigate from one tab to another, and CSS should take care of which tab is currently selected, by highlighting the active tab. Like many Java developers, our hands-on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are a little bit tight than a web guy, and since our application is not using any UI framework, we had to rely on JSP to do this job.

How to use Adapter Design Pattern in Java with Example

The adapter design pattern in Java, also known as the Wrapper pattern is another very useful GOF pattern, which helps to bridge the gap between two classes in Java. As per the list of Gang of Four patterns, the Adapter is a structural pattern, much like Proxy, Flyweight, Facade, and Decorator patterns in Java. As the name suggests, the Adapter allows two classes of a different interface to work together, without changing any code on either side. You can view the Adapter pattern as a central piece of the puzzle, which joins two pieces, which can not be directly joined because of different interfaces.

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no dll in java.library.path - Cause and Solution

"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no dll in java.library.path" is one of the frustrating errors you will get if your application is using native libraries like the DLL in Windows or .SO files in Linux. Java loads native libraries at runtime from either PATH environment variable or location specified by java.library.path system property depending upon whether your Java program is using System.load() or java.lang.System.loadLibarray() method to load native libraries. If Java doesn't find them due to any reason it throws "java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no dll in java.library.path". 

Spring Boot Error - Error creating a bean with name 'dataSource' defined in class path resource DataSourceAutoConfiguration

Hello guys, If you are using Spring Boot and getting errors like "Cannot determine embedded database driver class for database type NONE" or "Error creating a bean with name 'dataSource' defined in class path resource ataSourceAutoConfiguration" then you have come to the right place. In this article, we'll examine different scenarios on which this Spring Boot error comes and what you can do to solve them. The general reason for this error is Spring Boot's auto-configuration, which is trying to automatically configure a DataSource for you but doesn't have enough information. It is automatically trying to create an instance of DataSourceAutoConfiguration bean and it's failing.

Difference between WHERE vs HAVING clause in SQL - GROUP BY Comparison with Example

What is the difference between WHERE and  HAVING clause in SQL is one of the most popular questions asked on SQL and database interviews, especially to beginners? Since programming jobs, required more than one skill, it’s quite common to see a couple of SQL Interview questions in Java and .NET interviews. By the way unlike any other question, not many Java programmers or dot net developers, who are supposed to have knowledge of basic SQL, fail to answer this question. Though almost half of the programmer says that WHERE is used in any SELECT query, while HAVING clause is only used in SELECT queries, which contains aggregate function or group by clause, which is correct.
