Cross-site request forgery (CSRF or XSRF) is also known as “Sea Surf” or “Session Riding”. But unlike real surfing, it’s got nothing to do with waves, water or the beach.
The debug compiler flag is a way to get the compiler to insert more debugging information. When we debug Java code, we want as much information about our code as possible.
Last week I wrote about Cross-Site Scripting, and the serious consequences it can have. According to OWASP, XSS affects about two thirds of all applications. That statistic should scare you! Now that I have your attention, let’s look at how we can stop XSS.
There’s probably nothing programmers hate more than documenting their code. Fortunately for Java developers, help is at hand. The JavaDoc tool generates HTML documentation from comments we write in our code.
I’ve mentioned Cross-Site Scripting, aka XSS, in some of my previous posts. And I’m sure you’ve heard of it as well. XSS is often categorised as either reflected XSS or stored XSS. And then DOM-based XSS was added. OWASP now categorises XSS as: Client XSS Server XSS Both of these can be either
When you auto-box integral primitives n Java to their respective wrapper classes, the wrapper classes cache all values from -128 to +127. This has practical implications that you should know about.
No, we are not talking about delicious double-chocolate cookies. Although I’ve really missed the fabulous Incus Data cookies during lockdown. As you know, cookies are small text files. They are usually created by the web server, but are saved and managed by your browser. Cookies can be harmless or incredibly
Occasionally during development, your program may crash with an OutOfMemoryError. What happened and how do you prevent it?
The Java compiler can warn you of potential problems. Should you suppress warnings? Some useful information on types of warnings and using the @SuppressWarnings annotation.
I believe in code re-use. You believe in code re-use. No-one wants to re-invent the wheel, especially not if there is a really great, aero-dynamic, ultra-fast wheel available. That’s why we use libraries and components. But those libraries and components are not written by super-humans. They are written by people
