Initialization of Classes and Interfaces

Initialization of a class consists of executing its static initializers and the initializers for static fields (class variables) declared in the class. Initialization of an interface consists of executing the initializers for fields (constants) declared there.

Before a class is initialized, its superclass must be initialized, but interfaces implemented by the class are not initialized. Similarly, the superinterfaces of an interface are not initialized before the interface is initialized.

When Initialization Occurs

Initialization of a class consists of executing its static initializers and the initializers for static fields declared in the class. Initialization of an interface consists of executing the initializers for fields declared in the interface.

Before a class is initialized, its direct superclass must be initialized, but interfaces implemented by the class need not be initialized. Similarly, the superinterfaces of an interface need not be initialized before the interface is initialized.

A class or interface type T will be initialized immediately before the first occurrence of any one of the following:

• T is a class and an instance of T is created.
• T is a class and a static method declared by T is invoked.
• A static field declared by T is assigned.
• A static field declared by T is used and the reference to the field is not a compile-time constant. References to compile-time constants must be resolved at compile time to a copy of the compile-time constant value, so uses of such a field never cause initialization.

Invocation of certain reflective methods in class Class and in package java.lang.reflect also causes class or interface initialization. A class or interface will not be initialized under any other circumstance.

The intent here is that a class or interface type has a set of initializers that put it in a consistent state, and that this state is the first state that is observed by other classes. The static initializers and class variable initializers are executed in textual order, and may not refer to class variables declared in the class whose declarations appear textually after the use, even though these class variables are in scope . This restriction is designed to detect, at compile time, most circular or otherwise malformed initializations.

As shown in an example in, the fact that initialization code is unrestricted allows examples to be constructed where the value of a class variable can be observed when it still has its initial default value, before its initializing expression is evaluated, but such examples are rare in practice. (Such examples can also be constructed for instance variable initialization. The full power of the language is available in these initializers; programmers must exercise some care. This power places an extra burden on code generators, but this burden would arise in any case because the language is concurrent

Before a class is initialized, its superclasses are initialized, if they have not previously been initialized.

Thus, the test program:

class Super {

        static { System.out.print("Super "); }

}

class One {

        static { System.out.print("One "); }

}

class Two extends Super {

        static { System.out.print("Two "); }

}

class Test {

        public static void main(String[] args) {

               One o = null;

               Two t = new Two();

               System.out.println((Object)o == (Object)t);

        }

}

prints:

Super Two false

The class One is never initialized, because it not used actively and therefore is never linked to. The class Two is initialized only after its superclass Super has been initialized.

A reference to a class field causes initialization of only the class or interface that actually declares it, even though it might be referred to through the name of a subclass, a subinterface, or a class that implements an interface.

The test program:

class Super { static int taxi = 1729; }

class Sub extends Super {

        static { System.out.print("Sub "); }

}

class Test {

        public static void main(String[] args) {

               System.out.println(Sub.taxi);

        }

}

prints only:

1729

because the class Sub is never initialized; the reference to Sub.taxi is a reference to a field actually declared in class Super and does not trigger initialization of the class Sub.

Initialization of an interface does not, of itself, cause initialization of any of its superinterfaces.

Thus, the test program:

interface I {

        int i = 1, ii = Test.out("ii", 2);

}

interface J extends I {

        int j = Test.out("j", 3), jj = Test.out("jj", 4);

}

interface K extends J {

        int k = Test.out("k", 5);

}

class Test {

        public static void main(String[] args) {

               System.out.println(J.i);

               System.out.println(K.j);

        }

        static int out(String s, int i) {

               System.out.println(s + "=" + i);

               return i;

        }

}

produces the output:

1

j=3

jj=4

3

The reference to J.i is to a field that is a compile-time constant; therefore, it does not cause I to be initialized. The reference to K.j is a reference to a field actually declared in interface J that is not a compile-time constant; this causes initialization of the fields of interface J, but not those of its superinterface I, nor those of interface K. Despite the fact that the name K is used to refer to field j of interface J, interface K is not initialized.

Bradman Batting Technique

Bradman’s early development was shaped by the high bounce of the ball on matting over concrete pitches. He favored "horizontal-bat" shots (such as the hook, pull and cut) to deal with the bounce and devised a unique grip on the bat handle that would accommodate these strokes without compromising his ability to defend. Employing a side-on stance at the wicket, Bradman kept perfectly still as the bowler ran in. His backswing had a "crooked" look that troubled his early critics, but he resisted entreaties to change.

His backswing kept his hands in close to the body, leaving him perfectly balanced and able to change his stroke mid-swing, if need be. Another telling factor was the decisiveness of Bradman’s footwork. He “used the crease” by either coming metres down the wicket to drive, or playing so far back that his feet ended up level with the stumps when playing the cut, hook or pull.

Bradman’s game evolved with experience. He temporarily adapted his technique during the Bodyline series, deliberately moving around the crease in an attempt to score from the short-pitched deliveries. He had an ability to switch between a defensive or attacking innings as the occasion demanded, during the peak of his career in the mid-1930s. After the war, he readjusted to bat within the limitations set by his age, becoming a steady “accumulator” of runs.

However, Bradman never truly mastered batting on sticky wickets. Wisden commented, "if there really is a blemish on his amazing record it is... the absence of a significant innings on one of those 'sticky dogs' of old".

Displaying Images as a Thumbnails on wireless devices in J2ME

You can display your image as a thumbnail on your mobile device. The process is simple you just have to specify the width and height of your thumbnail and the code below will create a thumbnail of your image for you

public static Image getThumbnail (Image src, int dstW, int dstH)
{
int srcW = src.getWidth();
int srcH = src.getHeight();

Image tmp = Image.createImage(dstW, srcH);
Graphics g = tmp.getGraphics();

int delta = (srcW << pos =" delta/2;" x =" 0;">> 16), 0, Graphics.LEFT |
Graphics.TOP );
pos += delta;
}

Image dst = Image.createImage(dstW, dstH);
g = dst.getGraphics();

delta = (srcH << pos =" delta/2;" y =" 0;">> 16), Graphics.LEFT |
Graphics.TOP );
pos += delta;
}

return dst;
}
