This article lays down some of the best practices which you can use during your design or code reviews, and assumes that you are familiar with the basics of serialization in java. Consider using custom serialized form and don’t use the default serialized form provided by Java even if you have decided to design only the APIs perfectly for time being releasing a throwaway implementation and then replace it with a better one in future release.

Follow the these steps to configure an apache tomcat server with eclipse, and use the server from within the eclipse and do start, stop, deploy etc.

When several threads try to access a single resource, there is a chance that it might corrupt that data. Synchronization is the process which ensures that, when several threads want to access a single resource, only one thread can access it at any given time; other threads trying to access will have to wait for its turn. 

Important points about Synchronization

1. A synchronized region is guarded by a lock object. 

Thread class has many important methods like init, start, stop, run, getName(), getPriority(), isAlive() and join(), and also few static methods like sleep(), yield() etc.
