Early binding in Java

843785Dec 16 2008
I need to find two kinds of method calls that use early binding in Java.


I would like to know if my ideas are correct:

I think overloaded functions uses early binding, because the compiler looks at the types of the parameter variables.
I think static functions uses early binding because they are outside of a class.
I think functions define as final uses early binding because they do not change.

Does that make sense? Are those correct method calls that uses early binding please?

Thank you for your help.

Your query might win the award for the "shortest question with the longest answer", but I'll try for a short answer. For the first part, you need to fetch data from the database. For this you could use anything from raw JDBC to an Object Relational Mapping (ORM) tool, like Hibernate. For the second part, I would recommend a reporting tool, like Jasper Reports, BIRT or ReportMill. Currently, only ReportMill has generated reports in JavaFX. But they all generate PDF - and that would be my suggestion: generate PDF and use the platform PDF viewer to display and print reports. You could spend years trying to duplicate all the nice display and print functionality found in Acrobat Reader and Mac OS X Preview.

As it happens, ReportMill (disclosure: me) is working on a tool to do exactly what your question asks for:

There is also a very cool database tool that has JavaFX support called XDEV. We'll both be at JavaOne.
