This week's book giveaway is in the General Computing forum. We're giving away four copies of Arduino in Action and have Martin Evans, Joshua Noble, and Jordan Hochenbaum on-line! See this thread for details.
Threads are "flows of control" or "flows of execution" where your program seems to "do more than one thing at a time." (Unless you run the program on a computer with more than one CPU, it really only does one thing at a time. Very quickly, but one at a time.) There are several good Java books for learning about threads and multi-threaded programming. I like one by Doug Lea, called "Concurrent Programming in Java, 2nd Edition" It has a lot of very good information. Beans are either Java Beans, a type of Java class which is "self contained" to make it easy to use in several types of tools, or Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs), one of the topics which is appropriate for this forum. They are also special classes which are "self contained" but for use in several different server products, commercial and freeware. A good book for learning about them might be the one that Java Ranch is giving away this week, "Professional Java Server Programming J2EE, 1.3 Edition." The publisher notes at Amazon.com say "This book is for professional Java developers who want to employ Java as the platform for their distributed, enterprise applications. It provides a comprehensive guide to the J2EE APIs implemented by J2EE-licensed application servers. No knowledge of J2EE technologies is assumed...."
How you use these things depends almost entirely on what you're trying to do. If you're trying to learn about them, get some open source products like Tomcat (jakarta.apache.org) and/or JBoss (www.jboss.org) and begin with the examples, then experiment. Joe
This has nothing to do with J2EE so I am moving it to Java in General (Intermediate). ------------------ Tom Sun Certified Programmer for the Java� 2 Platform Moderator of the forums: J2EE and EJB Other Java APIs

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to
run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
