:: Program Annotation Facility
Most Java programmers who have used the Java API reference are
familiar with the @deprecated within the comments of a Java
method. Some vendors and programmers have cleverly made use of
these comments to include information that could be used by
specific custom interpreters to do some routine tasks. Finally,
the annotation facility is being included into the J2SE 1.5
tiger release.
http://javaboutique.internet.com/tutorials/annotation/
:: iSpheres Halo 4
Just in case you haven't heard yet, there is a new Three Letter
Acronym in the J2EE development world, BAM. BAM is short for
Business Activity Monitoring, and at the core of BAM is a new
breed of Event Servers, whose sole responsibility is to monitor
business activity in real time.
