Musings about Java and Technology. Sunday, June 28, 2009. Performance Tuning Hibernate Second-level Cache. Before we continue, I think it is worth while to read my colleagues posts on performance testing here. Their advice seems simple enough. But trust me, it's really easy to fall off the wagon when it comes to this stuff. The work itself is very tedious, so it's easy to convince yourself that "Yeah, this patch is it, this is the final run", or "I know the bottleneck is the CPU for sure! Jmap,jhat,jstat...

Musings about Java and Technology. Tuesday, November 9, 2010. I'm sure like many of you, I tend to browse DZone for interesting articles/blog posts. As a guy who works on Java server-side software, articles related Garbage Collection always catches my eye. Today while browsing on DZone I came across this article on Garbage Collection tuning. Announced GA for our BigMemory. Product. As I spelled out here. I know as a developer I would rather work on making my product better, faster and more concurrent.

We ran and messed around ...

http://javasmith.blogspot.com/2012/01/mockito-is-just-awesomeness.html
Musings about Java and Technology. Saturday, January 28, 2012. Mockito is just awesomeness. Last week I ventured into making some enhancements into a project that is completely unknown to me. I see unit tests as my writ of passage before I can checkin any code into a project new to me - not to say I should ever checkin code without tests, but I think you all know what I mean. Fortunately, I came across Mockito. With allows you to mock and stub classes effortlessly. Class that has a. Instance to work....
