Thread using extending Thread class

Extending the Thread Class

The thread class can be extended to create the thread. A typical procedure for doing this is as follows
1.      A class extending the Thread class overrides the run() method from the Thread class to define the code executed by the thread.
2.      This subclass may call a Thread constructor explicitly in its constructors to initialize the thread, using the super() call.
3.      The start() method inherited from the Thread class is invoked on the object of the class to make the thread eligible for running.


class A extends Thread{
    public void run(){
        say();
    }
    public void say(){
        for(int i=0;i<10;i++){
            try{Thread.sleep(500);}catch(Exception e){}
            System.out.println("Hello "+i+" times");
        }
    }
}
class B extends Thread{
    public void run(){
        say();
    }
    public void say(){
        for(int i=0;i<10;i++){
            try{Thread.sleep(500);}catch(Exception e){}
            System.out.println("Hi "+i+" times");
        }
    }
}



class ThreadDemo1{
    public static void main(String ar[]){
        A a1=new A();
        B b1=new B();
        //a1.run();
        //b1.run();
        a1.start();
        b1.start();
    }
}



When creating threads, using Thread class there are two Disadvantages
·         Extending the Thread class means that the subclass cannot extend any other class, whereas a class implementing the Runnable interface has this option.
·         A class might only be interested in being runnable, and therefore, inheriting the full overhead of the Thread class would be excessive.

Using HyperSQL (HSQLDB)

HSQLDB is a portable RDBMS implemented in pure java. It can be embedded with your application as well as can be used separately. It is very a small database that supports almost all features of the standard database system. It comes with small jar file that can be found in lib folder. The HSQLDB jar package is located in the /lib directory of the ZIP package and contains several components and programs. Core components of jar file are : HyperSQL RDBMS Engine (HSQLDB), HyperSQL JDBC Driver, Database Manager, and Sql Tool. Installing and Using Download: download latest release of HyperSQL database from http://hsqldb.org website and extract it. You will see following contents. Here "bin" directory contains some batch files those can be used to run a swing based GUI tool. You can use runManagerSwing.bat to connect to database, but database must be on before running it. Directory lib contains File hsqldb.jar . It is the database to be used by you. Running database First

In Process Mode of HSQLDB in web application.

If you want to use the database into your web application, you can use the HSQLDB in In_Process mode. In this mode, you can embed the HSQLDB into your web application and it runs as a part of your web application programm in the same JVM. In this mode, the database does not open any port to connect to the application on the hosing machine and you don't need to configure anything to access it. Database is not expposed to other application and can not be accessed from any dabase tools like dbVisualizer etc. In this mode ,database will be unknown from any other person except you. But in the 1.8.0 version, you can use Server intance for external as well as in process access.  To close the databse, you can issue SHUTDOWN command as an SQL query.   In the in-process mode, database starts from JDBC with the associated databse file provided through  connection URL. for example   DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:hsqldb:mydatabase","SA","");   Here myd
