Enterprise Integration for Beginners

Automatic Garbage Collection is one of the finest features of the Java programming language. You can find more information about Garbage Collection concepts from the below link. http://soatutorials.blogspot.com/2015/06/understanding-java-garbage-collection.html Even though GC is a cool feature in the JVM, it comes at a cost. Your application will stop working (Stop the World) when GC happens in the JVM level. Which means that, GC events will affect the performance of your java application. Due to this, you should have a proper understanding about the impact of GC for your application.  There are two general ways to reduce garbage-collection pause time and the impact it has on application performance: The garbage collection itself can leverage the existence of multiple CPUs and be executed in parallel. Although the application threads remain fully suspended during this time, the garbage collection can be done in a fraction of the time, effectively reducing the susp...

Java is one of the heavily used languages in enterprise application development. One of the key features of the Java language is it's capability to clear out memory automatically. This gives application developer more freedom to think about his business logic rather than worrying about memory management of the application. This may be the utmost reason for the selection of java language for complex business application development.  Java uses a technology called Automatic Garbage Collection (GC) for clearing out any unused memory from your application. During this blog post, I will be discussing about Java memory model and how GC works within the Java virtual machine (JVM). In fact every java application runs on top of its own JVM. Java Memory model Each thread running in the Java virtual machine has its own thread stack. The thread stack contains information about what methods the thread has called to reach the current point of execution. I will refe...
