Hello commons list,
one thing I keep seeing around is people exchanging either too big strings, byte-arrays, or stringbuffers. It looks like, they one has still not found something sensible that describes something close to an array of characters so:
- that can give its length - that can be read and re-read - with a variant can be changed to (e.g. with a writer) but something that is flexible enough so that: - it does not reserve a block of contiguous bytes in RAM! - it scales pretty big - maybe it even has regions mapped into file where should I look for such a family of objects? Commons-IO could be such maybe? paulPS: last I looked, many many many people serialize massive document as XML, that is good, but they exchange that XML as string!
