I want my destructors!
There are many things I like about Java, but every so often I hit my head against a fundamental limitation that forces me to write lots of extra code that I wouldn't have to in C++.
Connection c = ds.getConnection();
try
{
Statement s = c.createStatement();
try
{
// ...
}
finally
{
s.close();
}
}
finally
{
c.close();
}
Fer crying out loud. I have to have a billion nested finally clauses to make up for the fact that Java doesn't have local objects and therefore no destructors. Urgh.
