cracking java

"hi there".equals("cheers !") == true
This is because in the JDK 1.3 SUN is caching the hash code so if it once is calculated, it doesn't get recalculated, so if the value field changes, the hashcode stays the same.

bitwise operation on boolean

bitwise operation on boolean

The solution to the puzzle is given in the Java Language Specification, chapter 15.22.2:
15.22.2 Boolean Logical Operators &, ^, and |
When both operands of a &, ^, or | operator are of type boolean, then the type of the bitwise operator expression is boolean.
For &, the result value is true if both operand values are true; otherwise, the result is false.
For ^, the result value is true if the operand values are different; otherwise, the result is false.
For |, the result value is false if both operand values are false; otherwise, the result is true.

http://beust.com/weblog/archives/000350.html

Someone mentioned that there is no boolean, byte and short in byte code level, all just integer

trick for java 5

New look of resultset, WebRowSet, http://www.onjava.com/lpt/a/6633 , but I personally don't think this is something useful

Some information how using jmxagent: http://weblogs.java.net[..]nus/archive/2006/06/going_beyond_jd.html

Just come across a nice article that discuss about various new features of 1.5 and provide tips on how to use them: http://java.sys-con.com/read/171487_p.htm

Create collection quick

List programmingLanguages = CollectionUtils.newList("Java", "C++", "Ruby");

Or this:

Map langs = new HashMap(3) {{
put("Java", "Wicked");
put("C++", "Ok");
put("Ruby", "Interesting");
}};

java.util.Calendar

I don't know this before, and I don't know if this is the behaviour of all Calendar implementation or it is only GregorianCalendar do this...

Every time you call set, Calendar sets a flag internally which indicates that something has changed. For performance reasons, the time is not actually computed until a call to getTime() (and variants).

The problem is that you are setting two conflicting states before computing the time:

thisMonth.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);
thisMonth.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, 1);

According to the JavaDoc:
"If fields conflict, the calendar will give preference to fields set more recently."

Thus, in the second case, the call to set DAY_OF_MONTH is ignored.
