I'm working on an ejb project and I need to define a set of constants that I can use in the whole of my project so I create an interface that hold the set of my constants my question is there a better way in to define constants in web project ?   this an exemple of my constant interface :   public interface ejbConstant {     final String  CONST23= "AB23";     final String  CONST24= "AB24";     // .......... }   Thank you for your suggestion
I've seen examples like this:   public class MaxSeconds {    public static final int MAX_SECONDS = 25; }   and supposed that I could have a Constants class to wrap constants in, declaring them static final. I know practically no Java at all and am wondering if this is the best way to create constants.
Tips and resources for beginning designers Thanks to the internet, graphic design and programming are becoming increasingly overlapping fields.   As a programmer, I constantly find myself needing basic knowledge of Graphic Design, but have trouble locating thorough yet concise graphic design learning resources, and instead usually find bits and pieces of knowledge applicable to the task at hand.  Can you guys offer some tips or recommend some good books, tutorials, blogs, and websites which provide a beginner level overview of web design that have been, in your experience, effective and high quality learning materials. I'm not looking for tips on how to use image editing tools, but assuming a basic grasp of those, which resources and advice will best help a new designer create professional looking designs? Why can't I sort questions by "votes" or "unanswered" without logging in? On the "Questions" page of each Stack Exchange site, there are links at the top to sort the questions by "newest", "frequent", "votes", "active", and "unanswered".  At least that is what it looks like if I am logged in. If I am on a site that I don't have an account for, or if I am not logged in, the only one I see is "newest".  This seems to have been done recently. I could swear I saw the other links, even when I was not logged in, until a few weeks ago, or maybe later than that.  Why was this change made? I have a sprite sheet from a classic video game (if you're curious, Final Fight) that I'd like to be broken up into indivual images to be used in . However, the images aren't on an even grid, and all have a different amount of space between them.  Is there an automated way to export images based on contiguous pixels or something like that? What is the physical meaning of $\epsilon_0$? Can you grammatically end a sentence with "with"? Do you want to come with? Can I come with?  I seem to hear this construction more often in recent years, but it still grates on my ear. I know it's often said that one shouldn't , but I class that rule along with  (i.e. — pedantic tosh). Is it always informal/casual speech to end a sentence with &quot;with&quot;? Was it ever thus? I generally know how to use a hyphen, but when should I use an en-dash (–) instead of an em-dash, or when should I use a hyphen (-) instead of an em-dash (—)? How to find fixed points for DES weak keys Let $X$ be topological space and $A\subseteq X$.   If $E\subseteq X$ is connected, $E\cap A\neq\emptyset$ and $E\cap(X\setminus A)\neq\emptyset$ then $E\cap\partial A\neq\emptyset$.  Assume that $E\cap\partial A=\emptyset$.  If $E\cap\partial A=\varnothing$ then $E=(E\cap\text{int}(A))\cup(E\cap\text{ext}(A))$, i.e. a union of disjoint sets open in $E$.   Also the sets are nonempty because: $E\cap\text{int}(A)=E\cap A\neq\varnothing$ and $E\cap\text{ext}(A)=E\cap A^c\neq\varnothing$.  This contradicts that $E$ is connected.  Fixed. Create longer arrows If $(a,b)=1$ then prove $(a+b, ab)=1$. What is the error "Every derived table must have its own alias" in MySQL? Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException I have a Win 7/11.10 dual boot system with Grub 2 as the default bootloader. However, I want to make Windows bootloader the default bootloader (grub 'dos' like interface scrares the hell out of my sister) so when I start the PC I will have the following boot options: 1. Windows 7 2. Ubuntu  NB: A process to reverse this operation so Grub can be the default bootloader again will also be appreciated The "I Get It" Reputation Problem I wrote a question about blocking certain characters in passwords. It became tremendously unpopular, and it seemed like everyone wanted to rain on my parade every day.  Eventually, I "got it," agreed completely with what people were saying to me, and just wanted to withdraw my question so that my reputation didn't slide even further downhill.  Unfortunately, the system is designed such that I can't withdraw my question or redeem myself. Instead, I just get daily reputation attacks. That's a terrible system, and it needs to be changed. Easy way to turn JavaScript array into comma-separated list? I have a one-dimensional array of strings in JavaScript that I'd like to turn into a comma-separated list. Is there a simple way in garden-variety JavaScript (or jQuery) to turn that into a comma-separated list? (I know how to iterate through the array and build the string myself by concatenation if that's the only way.) Restricting T to string and int? I have built myself a generic collection class which is defined like this.   public class StatisticItemHits&lt;T&gt;{...}   This class can be used with int and string values only. However this  public class StatisticItemHits&lt;T&gt; where T : string, int {...}   won't compile. What am I doing wrong? Android, how do I stop a pointer appearing below an EditText How can a CPU deliver more than one instruction per cycle? Negative logLikelihood Kalman filter I've never really thought about how the shell actually executes piped commands. I've always been told that the "stdout of one program gets piped into the stdin of another," as a way of thinking about pipes. So naturally, I thought that in the case of say, A | B, A would run first, then B gets the stdout of A, and uses the stdout of A as its input.    But I've noticed that when people search for a particular process in ps, they'd include grep -v "grep" at the end of the command to make sure that grep doesn't appear in the final output. This means that in the command ps aux | grep "bash" | grep -v "grep" it is implied that ps knew that grep was running and therefore is in the output of ps. But if ps finishes running before its output gets piped to grep, how did it know that grep was running?   flamingtoast@FTOAST-UBUNTU: ~$ ps | grep ".*" PID TTY          TIME CMD 3773 pts/0    00:00:00 bash 3784 pts/0    00:00:00 ps 3785 pts/0    00:00:00 grep
