Take a look at the following code: public class AssertTest { private y; private void doSomething(int i) { assert (i < 100) : i = i % 100; y = i; } } The question was whether the above code makes proper use of assertions. I answered 'yes', but the right answer was 'no' because of the fact that the assertion has side effects. Indeed the variable 'i' is modified inside the assert but why should this be inappropriate ? I mean the program will end ANYWAY when the assertion is fired, so why care if 'i' is modified or not before that ? And what if this is what the developer really wanted to do: display modulo of 'i' when i was bigger than 100 then end the application ? Maybe the creator of the test assumes that the Error AssertionError is caught somewhere ? (but to catch an AssertionError is a stupid thing to do anyway) Regards, Razvan == 2 of 3 == Date: Thurs, Oct 7 2004 12:43 pm From: Chris Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Razvan wrote: > private void doSomething(int i) > { > assert (i < 100) : i = i % 100; > y = i; > } > The question was whether the above code makes proper use of > assertions.

(but to catch an AssertionError is a stupid > thing to do anyway) I agree with the right answer. You may have a great proof that when everything is done as you expected, the assignment makes no difference. Nevertheless, writing the above is at a minimum confusing and likely to create fragile code that can break easily. That said, the apparent intent of the question is to check whether you realize that the latter expression will not be evaluated when assertions are disabled. The code would only make sense if you were to assume that the assignment happens when assertions are not checked (hence bringing the argument into range). That doesn't happen, so the code is nonsensical and confusing. Incidentally, this narrowly skirts another reason why the use of assertions is inappropriate. The assertion above checks a precondition, and precondition checks should generally throw IllegalStateException or IllegalArgumentException, not fail an assertion. Because the method is private, though, the method is part of the implementation detail of the class, and it's more acceptable to assert preconditions on the method. Just don't extrapolate the same approach to a published API. -- www.designacourse.com The Easiest Way to Train Anyone... Anywhere.

You mean, like terminating the program if the assertion fails, and changing a variable's value as it does? > Indeed the variable 'i' > is modified inside the assert The example isn't a very good one, because the variable is local, but the principle is to avoid any side effects, otherwise the assertions become themselves a source of errors. > but why should this be inappropriate ? I > mean the program will end ANYWAY when the assertion is fired, so why > care if 'i' is modified or not before that ? There are much better examples. I think this one was meant to show the principle, without a particularly bad result. > And what if this is what the developer really wanted to do: display > modulo of 'i' when i was bigger than 100 then end the application ? The basic idea is to strictly avoid side effects in assertions so that the program will run exactly the same whether or not assertions are enabled. Otherwise the debugging usefulness of assertions is eroded (because the assertions become a source of errors). It is always possible to argue that a particular outcome is harmless, but the tutorial purpose is met -- avoid side effects, even if there are no obvious consequences. -- Paul Lutus http://www.arachnoid.com ========================================================================== TOPIC: Looking for HTML Renderer http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.java.programmer/browse_thread/thread/b1a8bdcce8b1d66f ========================================================================== == 1 of 1 == Date: Thurs, Oct 7 2004 12:15 pm From: Xiaolei Li <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thomas Weidenfeller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > bugbear wrote: >> IIRC Sun had a native java Browser. > > Yes, it was called HotJava. > > Parts of it became the HTML parser in Swing.

If the user reached a page by following a link, web browsers traditionally set the "Referer" header to the URL of the previous page. You can retrieve the value of this header from ther ServletRequest. However, the information in that header is provided voluntarily by the browser, and if the browser doesn't give it, then you can't retrieve it.

Yes, in a way its the same person. Bruce is a disabled fellow who acts as our gateway onto the Internet, and we all post under his name when using that account. He has no idea where we actually are, or how the rest of the link is configured. If anyone ever hassles him, the link would just vanish as if it never was.

I just thought it was interesting. And quite reasonable. Although I don't know the people of Bellingham, your statements about the hypocrisy of most self-styled progressives in the Industrial-Capitalist-Empire (ICE) are certainly right on. They just refuse to accept that the environmental problem is systemic, rather than managerial, which is why we are doing what we are doing. To our knowledge, ours and 2 other groups have the only real environmentalists in the ICE. And we all have to hide.........

In order to forestall the utterly predictable and oft-repeated lame accusations about me being a part of your civilization because I am using a computer connected to the Internet, I will point out that I own approximately 1/300 of this machine, and that it is the ONLY thing in our world , OUR country, that comes from yours.... Then next you are going to say that because these messages enter the Internet from from an address on Vallette St in Bellingham WA (I forget the house number, but it is in the phonebook, I think) where Bruce Burhans lives, that I/WE must be that person at that address.... Please feel free to drop by and talk to him....You can also talk to the government people that watch his place round the clock, hoping that one of us will be stupid enough to actually go there.....You see, the route these messages take, to and from us and Bellingham, changes all the time, and even the government can't track us from there to here electronically.....Yes, the system was setup and is overseen by a master hacker...... Not only that, but even if they could, they would just find several people camping out in the middle of what YOU call a National Forest , perfectly legally, playing headgames on the Usenet.(etc).......The area where we live is a LONG way from here..... But even with helicopters I don't think they could nail us. Part of the team is always on watch and we have a dozen hiding places and escape routes planned out, and very good smoke-screens at the ready.... I tell you this truthfully: You can stick your laws and your Constitiution right up your criminal hypocrite ass... They mean NOTHING to us......And you can't make us join you because you can't FIND us....... Why hasn't Mr. Burhans been busted? The last time they busted our gateway, it just moved to his place... We have MANY supporters among you...... And he is the ONLY clue they have to our whereabouts...

Well. It looks like I may owe you an apology. I've been so often attacked on this group that I have come to expect it... And you misunerstood what I said.... Bruce's address is 3001 Vallette, Bellingham, WA 98225... If you want to bother him, knock yourself out....The last person to do so spent a good stretch in the county jail.....I guarantee that he doesn't want to see you... 'My' only concern is that the link be traced to the source.....And so far, no one has been able to do that... Not even what appear to be government agencies.... Bruce himself does not know where we are, or how the link is configured at present....So rather than busting him, and losing any chance that we will slip up and do something stupid like visit him, they just watch him, electronically and in person. He takes them coffee every now and then and they are the ones that arrested the fellow who was after who he thought I was....(follow that?). Go back into the archives and look again... And if you want me to go away you are out of luck.. Try magick and I will refract it back in your face, as I have done with one of the few people in this NG that actually knows something about the subject... A clue: They vanished for quite a whle sometime back, with no warning and no explanation upon their return...

Please help. If you were to use H*I*bernate in this confiuration, you'd basically forego using Entity Beans. Entity Beans are the persistence component of a "generic" J2EE application, and Hibernate essentially overlaps much of that functionality. You could mix and match the too, but if you're designing and developing from scratch, there's no reason. Just pick one technology and move forward.
