JAVA bytecode optimization
- by Idob
This is a basic question.
I have code which shouldn't run on metadata beans. All metadata beans are located under metadata package.
Now,
I use reflection API to find out whether a class is located in the the metadata package.
if (newEntity.getClass().getPackage().getName().contains("metadata"))
I use this If in several places within this code.
The question is: Should I do this once with:
boolean isMetadata = false
if (newEntity.getClass().getPackage().getName().contains("metadata")) {
isMetadata = true;
}
C++ makes optimizations and knows that this code was already called and it won't call it again. Does JAVA makes optimization? I know reflection API is a beat heavy and I prefer
not to lose expensive runtime.
