Description

Usually in software devellopement we use values liste that we take from “properties”, SQL tables or in the worst case, “in hard codding” in our application.

As many people I had this problem ans I solve it by creating “Tables Memories”. It permits me to limit the access to the database (or file), to low the occupation memory by having just one request of these memories liste, and to simplify my code.

This code is quite old and could be improved (use of the patern singleton instead of a full static classe, synchronize optimisation…). I use this in a huge number of project and I always report these modifications because I don’t have any performance or memories problems.

Fonctions

During the cration of this componant I wanted to have the following functions also I simplify in maximum its use in a JSP page or a Servtel :

• “Connection” sql connection outside bean
• Do not reload the data if they are already in memory
• Load of a liste from a select SQL : loadQuery(…)
• Load of a list from a values liste : loadListe(…)
• Read of the description associated to a code (String) : getValue(…)
• Read of the description associated to a code (Combobox) : getListe(…)
• Read of the description associated to a code (Radio Bouton) : getRadio(…)
