However, a modular application needs more than the deployment of Java classes. It also needs to accommodate the following:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>SQL DDL for initial database schema creation and on-going evolution<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SQL DML and possibly Java code for upgrading data as the schema evolves and the application features are upgraded<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>XML documents and binary resources containing data that needs to be processed by the application and possibly loaded into the database<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>HTML pages or templates (e.g., Tapestry) that can be dynamically added to a Web application<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scripts (e.g., Groovy), rules, or other forms of code that can be dynamically executed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>module dependency<\/strong> &#8211; Java needs a better way to dynamically enable or disable behaviors that depend on whether modules of code are available, similar to how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.php.net\/manual\/en\/function.function-exists.php\" title=\"\">function_exists(f)<\/a> works in PHP, without having to resort to invoking methods using Java reflection. A static programming model should be possible, while protecting a block of code to be conditionally executed only if another class is loadable.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is my Java wish list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2147,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-50","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-software"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.jetpen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/WPQ05utglX9emZcEFSwD.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8eKak-O","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jetpen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jetpen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jetpen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jetpen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jetpen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.jetpen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2485,"href":"https:\/\/www.jetpen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50\/revisions\/2485"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jetpen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2147"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jetpen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jetpen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jetpen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
