10 Points about Java Heap Space

10 Points about Java Heap Space

1. Java Heap Memory is part of Memory allocated to JVM by Operating System.

2. Whenever we create objects they are created inside Heap in Java.

3. Java Heap space is divided into three regions or generation for sake of garbage collection called New Generation, Old or tenured Generation or Perm Space.

4. You can increase or change size of Java Heap space by using JVM command line option -Xms, -Xmx and -Xmn. don't forget to add word "M" or "G" after specifying size to indicate Mega or Giga. for example you can set java heap size to 258MB by executing following command java -Xmx256m HelloWord.

5. You can use either JConsole or Runtime.maxMemory(), Runtime.totalMemory(), Runtime.freeMemory() to query about Heap size programmatic in Java.

6. You can use command "jmap" to take Heap dump in Java and "jhat" to analyze that heap dump.

7. Java Heap space is different than Stack which is used to store call hierarchy and local variables.

8. Java Garbage collector is responsible for reclaiming memory from dead object and returning to Java Heap space.

9. Don’t panic when you get java.lang.outofmemoryerror, sometimes its just matter of increasing heap size but if it’s recurrent then look for memory leak in Java.

10. Use Profiler and Heap dump Analyzer tool to understand Java Heap space and how much memory is allocated to each object.

SDLC - Software Development Life Cycle

Resim
SDLC -  Software Development Life Cycle  is a process used by the software industry to design, develop and test high quality softwares. 1- Requirement Analysis 2- Defining Requirements To clearly define and document the product requirements SRS (Software Requirement Specification)   document which consists of all the product requirements to be designed and developed during the project life cycle. 3-   Designing the Product Architecture One design approach for the product architecture is proposed and documented in a DDS - Design Document Specification . DDS is reviewed by all the important stakeholders and based on various parameters as risk assessment, product robustness, design modularity, budget and time constraints, the best design approach is selected for the product. DDS defines all the architectural modules of the product along with its communication and data flow representation with the external and third party modules. 4- Developing the ...

@SerializedName and @Expose annotations

The  @SerializedName  annotation is needed for Gson to map the JSON keys with our fields. In keeping with Java's camelCase naming convention for class member properties, it is not recommended to use underscores to separate words in a variable.  @SerializedName  helps translate between the two. @SerializedName ( "quota_remaining" ) @Expose private Integer quotaRemaining; In the example above, we are telling Gson that our JSON key  quota_remaining  should be mapped to the Java field  quotaRemaining .  If both of these values were the same, i.e. if our JSON key was  quotaRemaining  just like the Java field, then there would be no need for the  @SerializedName  annotation on the field because Gson would map them automatically. The  @Expose  annotation indicates that this member should be exposed for JSON serialization or deserialization.
