Hello OnJava Readers,
JavaOne is coming up next month...are you going? I'm sure O'Reilly will
have some coverage of the event, and we will make sure to link to some of
it in our "weblogs of interest." And perhaps I will see you there. Until
then, you can continue to find some great technical content right here at
OnJava.
Articles of interest to Java developers:
The methods people commonly think of for controlling threads were
deprecated long ago, and are not safe to use. In this article, Viraj
Shetty shows the appropriate techniques for starting, pausing, resuming,
and stopping activities taking place in a multithreaded application:

When I was working on JSR-270, there were a lot of decisions to make; one
of the easiest was the inclusion of JSR-221, JDBC 4.0. With the release of
Java SE 6, JDBC 4.0 is now a standard part of the platform. This article
by Sharad Acharya gives you an overview of all the changes to JDBC you
need to know about:

Are you aware of your local technical user groups? I'm lucky enough to
live and work in an area with a Java user group of over 1,800 people, a
Ruby user group of over 200 (and growing rapidly), a .Net user group, an
XP user group, a chapter of the International Association of Software
Architects, a chapter of the Agile Project Leadership Network, and
probably a half dozen other groups that are directly related to my career
goals.
Do you know what's happening in your area? Getting involved in groups
like these is a great way to gain knowledge and make connections in your
industry. If you can't find a group, you can always start one! All you
need is a meeting place and a way to find a few other interested
individuals.
Please join us for next week's edition,
David Bock, Editor
