Hibernate is an ORM framework that implements Java Persistence API (JPA).For Hibernate to work we need 3 things:Hibernate configuration (hibernate.properties or hibernate.cfg.xml)
Mapping metadata (XML or annotation-based) - info for instructing Hibernate on how the entities have to be mapped to DB tables. Mapping metadata contains persistence unit info. Persistence unit - per database mapping configuration + some other...
What is the difference between checked and unchecked exceptions?
Checked exceptions are exceptions that are checked at compile time - that fact enforces the developer to either catch it and handle or declare as being thrown and it will be propagated in call stack. Unchecked exceptions are not checked at compile time.

I've been reading Logback documentation today and found an interesting moment about its speed of logging.Assuming we have set a logging level higher than DEBUG (INFO, WARN or ERROR) and then we try to log something like:

This approach takes long time to calculate because independent of the fact that...

But today I had a situation when depending on the .process() execution the result endpoint had to be dynamic.So after consulting with one of my colleagues I found the following solution:
public class CustomRoute extends RouteBuilder {...
Some background...In this series of posts I will give the answers I found for each of the Core Spring 4.2 Study Guide questions (you can download the guide at http://vojtechruzicka.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Core-Spring-4.2-Certification-Study-Guide.pdf)Suppose you have 2 teams working on two different layers of the application: web and database. Well we use the Spring container for wiring these layers together.What is dependency injection and...

Java Message Service (JMS)
is vendor-agnostic Java API that one can use to integrate heterogeneous systems. This API is implemented by many vendors in their Message-Oriented Middleware (MOM) products, so when using any of these products (JMS providers) you can actually use the same API - the JMS API.JMS offers many advantages, main of them are:heterogeneous integration - some messaging systems allow...
