Understanding Static Blocks in Java: A Beginner's Guide

A static block is a block of code that is executed when a class is loaded into memory, before any object of the class is created. Static blocks can be used to initialize static variables or perform one-time operations that need to be done before the class can be used.

Principles of Static Blocks

The principles behind static blocks are:

  • A static block is a block of code that is executed when a class is loaded into memory.
  • Static blocks are executed in the order they are defined in the class.
  • Static blocks can be used to initialize static variables or perform one-time operations that need to be done before the class can be used.

Example of a Static Block


public class MyClass {
    private static int myStaticVariable;
    
    static {
        myStaticVariable = 42;
        System.out.println("Static block executed.");
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("My static variable value is: " + myStaticVariable);
    }
}
			

In the above example, the MyClass class has a static block that initializes the myStaticVariable static variable to 42 and prints "Static block executed." to the console. When the class is loaded into memory, the static block is executed before any object of the class is created.

The main() method of the class accesses the myStaticVariable static variable and prints its value to the console.

Server-Side Pagination with React-Table and Spring Boot JPA with H2 Database

Pagination is a common technique used to split large amounts of data into smaller, more manageable chunks. With server-side pagination, data is retrieved from the server in smaller batches, reducing the amount of data transferred over the network and improving application performance. React-Table provides a wide range of built-in features such as sorting, filtering, pagination, row selection, and column resizing. These features can be easily configured and customized to fit specific requirements. For example, you can customize the sorting behavior to handle multiple sorting criteria, or you can add custom filters to the table to handle complex data filtering scenarios. Additionally, React-Table provides a flexible API that allows developers to extend its functionality with custom hooks, plugins, and components. This means that you can easily add custom functionality to the table, such as exporting data to CSV or integrating with external data sources. In terms of styl...
