Load List Values for Improved Efficiency

Posted by Hemos on from the leaner-and-meaner dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Reduce the number of database hits and improve your Web application's efficiency when you load common shared list values only once. In this code-filled article, learn to load the values for drop-down lists when your Web application starts and then to share these loaded list values among all the users of your application."

    Wow, if you can publish an article about not loading the same data over and over again, then I've got some work to do!

    How about an article on how to make an application run the same operation over and over instead of repeatedly executing it from a cron job?

    Or an article about keeping your strings in a string table instead of dispersing them throughout your code?

    Or perhaps I could write about how to use cut-and-paste to aid in producing Javadoc instead of typing @parameter over and over again?

    Is this jackass for real? Publishing this garbage is almost as bad as filing for patents on trivial extensions of ideas. I hope the author at least realizes the only good to come from it is to pad his resume.

    Lame, this is basic stuff. Give me a break.
