1.Java Annotations.A new feature of Java Tiger.I realized this functionality
would be helpful to our next architecture design(next version of our NMS
product).
2.Java Concurrency Programming.The section is particularly useful to us as
polling thread is an important element in NMS product,so I should learn
more about concurrency programming.
3.JMX.It provides a simple,scalable management solution to a distributed
system,I think it is the best instrument for me.With Java Management
Extensions (JMX), you can configure, manage and monitor your Java
applications at run-time, as well as break your applications into components
that can be swapped out. JMX provides a window into an application's state
and its behavior, and a protocol-independent way of altering both state and
behavior. It lets you expose portions of your application in just a few lines of
code.
JMX in action is a good book,The examples were easy to follow and thorough
though sometimes trivial.
4.Spring.A powerful framework,I don't use it at all, but I want to study its
thinking.My goal is to build a simple,scalable MVC framework,must be better
than our present.
