Book Description
Performance is now the area where Java is being put to the
test, offering ever greater competitive advantage for those who master
it. In this book, one of the world's leading software optimization
experts presents 48 lessons that address virtually every aspect of Java
server-side performance, Java Performance and Scalability, Volume I
proves that, through careful attention to underlying source code and
program design, the Java programming language can meet and exceed
developers' greatest expectations. Dov Bulka targets the most common and
critical Java performance pitfalls, offering dozens of practical tips
and solutions covering each performance-critical area. Bulka has done
the hard work of digging deep into the JDK to understand Java
performance in unprecedented depth. This book includes not only code
examples, but actual measurements quantifying the improvements they
deliver. Coverage includes strings, containers, numerics, I/O, RMI,
JDBC, servlets, JSP, and much more -- including a complete case study
that walks through improving the performance of a Web server by a full
order of magnitude.
