Java 8 Handy Notes

Lambda Expression - it helps in implementation of functional interface, lambda expression is treated as a function, so compiler does not create .class file




Java Method References – Method reference is used to refer method of functional interface or class. It is compact and easy form of lambda expression.

There are 3-types of method references in java

1.       Reference to a static method

2.       Reference to a instance method

3.       Reference to a constructor

Syntax for above each type of method references.

1.       Syntax of static Method Reference

<Class name> :: <static method name>

2.       Syntax of instance Method Reference

<Class name> :: <instance method name>

3.       Syntax of Constructor Method Reference

<Class name> :: <new> (it is new keyword)

Functional Interface - any interface that has only one abstract method is called functional interface, @FunctionalInterface annotation can be used to declare an interface as functional interface (optional).

-          It can have any number of static and default methods

-          It should have only one abstract method

-          It is also known as Single Abstract Method Interface (SAM), it is a new feature to achieve functional programming approach

-          A functional interface can extends another interface only when it does not have any abstract method

-          Some of the java pre-defined functional interfaces are

Consumer<T>, Function<T, R>, Predicate<T> ….. Etc.

Streams – Java provides a new additional package in java 8 called java.util.stream, to play or perform any operation on lists, we will convert list into stream and perform operations.

Operations performed on stream are divided into 2-categories

1.       Intermediate operations (e.g., filter, map, sorted ….)

2.       Terminal operations (eg.,  collect, forEach, reduce, …)

Spring Interview Preparation

  Interview Preparation Spring Boot 1.        management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=httptrace When we work with microservices or web services in general, it's quite useful to know how our users interact with our services. This can be achieved by tracing all the requests that hit our services and collect this information to analyze it later. There some systems available out there that can help us with this and can be easily integrated with Spring like  Zipkin . However,  Spring Boot Actuator has this functionality built-in  and can be used through its  httpTrace  endpoint which traces all HTTP requests. In this tutorial, we'll show how to use it and how to customize it to fit better our requirements. @Repository public class CustomTraceRepository implements HttpTraceRepository {   “From above for tracing we can use zipkin server and spring boot actuator”   2.        ...

Consuming wsdl into spring boot

Image
  Steps to consume SOAP wsdl into Spring Boot 1.        Create a standard spring boot project 2.        Copy the wsdl file content into <file-name>.wsdl file, saved in resources folder.   https://apiservices.balady.gov.sa/v1/gsb/wasel-address-service 1.        In project window create an empty folders to store generated wsdl stub files. Here, com.example.consumewebservice1.stubs   is the empty directory created. 1.        In pom.xml add dependencies spring web and spring web service and to convert WSDL to stub add jaxb plug-ins <build>     <plugins>         <plugin>             <groupId> org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2 </groupId>             <artifactId...

Git-hub handy code

  .git/Github handy code   Points to Remember :- 1.       git is a versioning tool to keep track of changes and collaboration with team. 2.       We install git in our local machine to connect with github on internet and push our code for versioning to local and remote locations. 3.       On github we will create repositories, branches, masters etc for versioning. 4.       In this handy code, we will be learning git and it’s command and structure. 5. We do have GUI and CUI of git, in the handy-code we will be learning about git CUI 6.    Download and install git.exe file from website - www.git-for-windows.github.io 7.    To verify git installation execute “git version” in command prompt, it will give you the       installed version. After installing git tool, we have to set configuration for reference,   git config --gl...
