With Dolphin java introduced cool new features like: 1. Strings in “switch” block      switch(s) {           case “Apple”:           // do something;           case “Orange”:           // do something;           default :      }      2. <> (Diamond) operator – Type inference for generic instance creation E.g List > list = new ArrayList>(); vis-à-vis List > list = new ArrayList <> (); Empty diamond braces is required and it's not a typo :).      3. Single Catch for multiple Exceptions with "|" operator           try {     ...

If you have an XML and want to use it in the spark's list component, than you need to first convert it into ArrayCollection and that's what we are doing in this example: Lets assume you have following XML: varstrXML:XML = <blog>         < item>               <title>Blog by Subodh Gupta                < author>Subodh Guptaauthor >        < /item> </blog> ; var xml:XML = new XML(strXML); var xmlDoc:XMLDocument = new XMLDocument(xml); var decoder:SimpleXMLDecoder = new SimpleXMLDecoder(true); var resultObj:Object = decoder.decodeXML(xmlDoc); var ac:ArrayCollection ; if(resultObj. blog .hasOwnProperty(" item ")) {       if(resultObj. blog . item is ArrayCollection)       {       ac = resultObj.root.element; } } that's it you are done. ...

Suppose you have task which collects the data the from various sources and creates a Object containing all this information e.g. information is distributes over various databases, websites and some you need to calculate based on that data. The single threaded application works fine with small amount of data however as data starts growing single threads shows its limitation. There is a interesting property of threads which comes to our rescue. Thread maintains the private copy of object on which it operates called as w orking copy in which it keeps the local modification which are made to the object. While main memory contains the master copy of every object. After all threads stop executing all the working copies are merged into the master copy. This becomes the curse in case of multiple objects modify the same field in the object because merging back creates the confusion and results in a unpredictable behavior. However if each thread works on the different field of the object me...

Just follow these steps to make it work: Compose your response as an JSON let say responseObject variable represent this JSON string/object Wrap the JSON response as an argument to a method call e.g. helloMethod (responseObject); where helloMethod is the method name Define this method( helloMethod ) which handles this response in the client side Lets take complete working sample: assume JSON Object as str = {"user":{"fname":"subodh","lname":"gupta","type":"blog","category":"tech"}} handleUser(str); function handleUser(str){ alert(str.user.fname);} just to complete the solution look at call below: jQuery.getJSON("http://subodh.blog.com/servlet?user=subodh&responseType=JSON", function(str) {     alert(str.user.fname); }); Look at this link for details jQuery.getJSON . http://subodh.blog.com/servlet?user=subodh&responseType=JSON this could be replaced by your serv...

I had a cross domain issue and after browsing for a while i came across flXHR which seemed to be promising solution and hence i went ahead with it. It's a flash based cross domain solution which is based on a crossdomain.xml config file (which lists the list of sites from where you can access the services). For more details on flXHR click here. I thought I have the great solution in hand and work with it before I encountered thee major of limitation of flXHR:  The location of crossdomain.xml can be specified in configuration of flproxy via loadPolicyURL attribute. Which is supposedly the path flXHR will take to resolve the permission of your domain to access service hosted at that domain. However this is where the problem comes it will not only consider the crossdomain.xml at given location but it will also make a query at the root of the site and hunt gain for crossdomain.xml to see the permission for the client domain to access the service e.g. if you specify loadPolicyURL=ww...
