          ------------------A blockbuster hit!-----------------------
          types of films
          blockbuster box office hit
          cult film
          straight DVD (not show in cinema)
          classic
          independent film
          pretentious
          flop
          ---------------grammar focus----------------------------
          I thought the acting was poor.
          The story line was lacking any exciting twists.
          ----------------language point---------------------------
          A blockbuster  is a type of aerial bomb that if it explodes
          destroys a large area.
          In USA if we say a movie is a blockbuster then we mean the movie
           was a  huge hit or success.
          -----------------------------------------------------------
          lower budget film.
          I feel the acting is better as the stars are still pretty down to the earth.
          --------culture point: movie reviews
          the people who write reviews take everything into consideration
          and if the movie has famous stars who perform weakly then
          the review will generally slate them.
          Also ,if the movie has a huge budget for creating the film and the final product
          is poor then again, the reviewers will be pretty harsh in their words.

          It is very difficult for movies in the west world to get good reviews unless they
          are absolutely out of this world.

          In summary, you should avoid soft and hard parses as
          much as possible because they inhibit the scalability of applications.

          The result of a parse operation is a parent cursor and a child cursor stored in the library cache.

          The key information related to a parent cursor is the text of a SQL statement.

          Therefore,
          several SQL statements share the same parent cursor if their text is exactly the same

          when two people with opposite personalitites get along well, we can describe it as "opposite attract".
          this is usually used to explain why some people with opposite personalitites ends up in relationships together.


          some westerners believe that their astrological sign-which is related to the month of their birthday-determines their personalities.
          The Chinese have a familiar belief about the twelve zodiac animals .

          the rent at least the amount of the mortage.

          1、單行插入
              insert into <tabler>[(column,[column,...])]values(value,[value,....])
              使用default 插入數(shù)據(jù),在values當(dāng)中使用default會(huì)插入默認(rèn)值,或者NULL

          2、使用字查詢插入數(shù)據(jù)。
                INSERT INTO <TABLE> subquery.

               INSERT ALL insert_into_clause [value clause]subquery
              INSERT conditional_insert_clause subquery

              insert all

          一、增加AJAX特征,開 發(fā)人員可以輕松地在程序中應(yīng)用Ajax,甚至不需要學(xué)習(xí)JavaScript;并且將遠(yuǎn)離單獨(dú)使用Ajax時(shí)潛在的bugs和性能問題。

          二、開始使用EJB 3.0的最簡單方式 EJB 3.0是成熟的事務(wù)組件模型,也是最新JPA(Java持久層API)關(guān)注的技術(shù),但支持EJB 3.0的Java Web應(yīng)用框架卻很少。你可以無處不在地使用整合的EJB 3.0組件模型。

          三、充分挖掘JSF特性的最佳方式,JSF沒有涉及訪問事務(wù)資源,Seam考慮到了這一點(diǎn),將JTA、JPA和EJB 3.0與JSF無縫地整合起來。

          四、實(shí)現(xiàn)業(yè)務(wù)流程管理(BPM)的最簡單方式。Seam深度整合了jBPM,使用jBPM進(jìn)行任務(wù)管理和頁面流管理將變得異常簡單。

           五、使得CRUD同樣簡單 Seam也同樣處理復(fù)雜企業(yè)應(yīng)用中的棘手問題。

          六、持久層工作將是”小菜一碟”。無論你是使用Hibernate還是JPA,Seam使用擴(kuò)展的持久化上下文都將使開發(fā)變成簡單。

          七、注釋功能 Seam是第一個(gè)從始至終、從持久層到表示層,都使用Java 5注釋功能的程序模型。

          八、Seam引入了一種新方式:”自動(dòng)化集成測試”。你可以模擬每個(gè)請(qǐng)求或者會(huì)話的全部業(yè)務(wù)流,來測試應(yīng)用中從持久層到表示層的所有Java代碼。

          九、開放性標(biāo)準(zhǔn)與開源的結(jié)合 Seam建立在實(shí)現(xiàn)開放標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的、像JSF和 EJB 3.0這樣的開源項(xiàng)目基礎(chǔ)上

          Hibernate在解決性能問題方面做得非常好。有了它的緩存機(jī)制,使用第三方緩存和數(shù)據(jù)庫連接池,就較好的解決的性能問題。但這些還不夠,hibernate給了開發(fā)者足夠的自由,讓開發(fā)者自己去控制性能問題。
          學(xué)習(xí)了一段時(shí)間的ibatis,我覺得hibernate有著ibatis無法替代的優(yōu)勢。

          1、開發(fā)者都知道,hibernate讓我們以oo的方式操作數(shù)據(jù)庫,這讓我們看到了hibernate的強(qiáng)大之處,體驗(yàn)到操作數(shù)據(jù)的方便。但Gavin King說,hibernate最耀眼之處是hibernate的緩存機(jī)制,而不是以oo的方式操作數(shù)據(jù)庫。Hibernate的緩存機(jī)制不外乎是一級(jí)緩存session,二級(jí)緩存sessionFactory,和第三方緩存如ehcache.也就是hibernate的最強(qiáng)大的地方是它的緩存,理解了這個(gè)才能真正的理解hibernate.緩存實(shí)在太難了,我  閱讀全文
