How to use resource bundle?

Generally to avoid hard codings in program we use a file called properties file.. This file can contain labels,sql queries,array sizes.. etc.So whenever there is a change in requirement without touching the source code we can change these values… It is also used for internationalization

This is the way to declare a resource bundle:
private static final ResourceBundle RESOURCE_BUNDLE = ResourceBundle.getBundle("resources.myApplication");
here resources.myApplication is the property file name

This is the syntax to get a value from that file:
stringName = RESOURCE_BUNDLE.getString("getStringName");

Retrieve Particular Fields from Table

To retrieve details present in some specific fields we have to select those fields from the table..Below example shows how to get a particular column say user_name from a table user_master which contains so many other fields also like user_id, user_age ..etc

eg: SELECT user_name FROM user_master;

here user_name is the column name , user_master is the table_name

Retrieve multiple fields from table

To retrieve details present in some specific fields we have to select those fields from the table..Below example shows how to get particular columns say user_first_name,user_last_name from a table user_master which contains so many other fields also like user_id, user_age ..etc

eg: SELECT user_first_name , user_last_name FROM user_master;

here user_first_name,user_last_name are the column names , user_master is the table_name

Adding javadocs

To add java docs to your classes and functions/methods use the following statements/comments

/****************************************************************

* @Package: enter the path
* @Desc: describe about that function
* @Version: write the number of the version
* @Restrictions:
* @Modifications:

Adding log4j

Log4j has advantage over other logging methods like java logger … It has several categories based on which user can set level so that he can restrict the logging of other details … The various levels are

fatal , error , warning , info , ..etc

This is the syntax to declare the logger

private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Class_name.class.getName());
Inorder to log the errors , info ..etc we use the following syntax

logger.info("");
logger.debug(" ");
logger.error(errorObject);
