What You Need To Know About Java Platform - For Beginner

Java is an amazing platform, both as a language and its JVM. The language is not that beautiful but it is concise and can be easily integrated with IDE. The VM may not be that good either, some say it's a clumpy-memory hunger program, but surely the cross-platform thing makes it fascinating.

Here's some Java related terminology in Java you need to know if you are beginer in Java application development.

1. Java the language

It’s a full object oriented language, which means everything must be written in a class style. So after the class is initiated then you treat them as an object where you can do some operation using its properties and methods.

2. JDK (Java Development Kit)

JDK is a set of tools mainly for compiling Java code into binary JVM bytecode. So then you can ship your product in a binary either JAR or WAR after your code is successfully compiled by the javac command included in JDK.

3. JVM (Java Virtual Machine)

The JVM works as runtime for reading Java bytecodes, so nowadays, Java is not the only programming language that can be compiled to Java bytecodes. There are some languages for example Clojure orKotlin which can compile their code to be executed by the JVM.

4. IDE (Integrated Development Environment)

So you can use the powerful IDE like Intellij IDEA, the best Java code editor, to devops Java apps. IDEA is so smart, with so called code autocompletion, refactoring, database integration, version control, integration, testing, running, compiling, and many more you can do with additional plugins you can just install to develop your Java application faster and less nerve-racking.

With a fully integrated environment, we can write codes without trying hard to remember all of the classes, methods, parameters because the IDE will help to autocomplete it.

5. Build automation/dependency manager

Java dependency managers like Maven and Gradle also work amazing. Just copy-paste the library we want, it will download and manage the library automatically. They can also work as an additional plugin for running, testing, and compiling our codes.

I always have a motto that Less code is a better code. So to indicate a good software project is when they can minimize overwriting codes, the chances are people out there already write what they want to write, so we just need to find and use their work, rather than writing it from scratch by yourself. That’s why I love depency managers like Maven, we can just search on the internet and use it.

MySQL and MariaDB password As already mentioned in the title of this blog, this error message sometimes occurred when we are trying to update our root password database, either MySQL or MariaDB, The error says: ERROR 1348 (HY000): Column 'Password' is not updatable This is because if we use this SQL command to update our database root password, and it turn out to be Restricted by MySQL to use update on mysql database. UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('1234') WHERE User='root'; The solutions for MySQL Error1348 So you can not update a user password using Update commands, to update the password, use ALTER commands instead. like the following. ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '1234'; And then you need to do the flush privileges to commit previous queries (that alter command above) into the system, simply do like this. flush privileges; So now you have your root with password 1234. Although it is recommended to

Spring Boot is a handy tool that simplifies the development of Spring Framework applications by reducing the need for cumbersome configuration. In this tutorial, I'll guide you through creating a Spring Boot application using the Netbeans IDE. While you can certainly create a Spring Boot application in Netbeans manually, it's much easier with a plugin designed for Spring development. Here's a step-by-step guide to get you started: 1. Install the Spring Boot Plugin: Open Netbeans and navigate to the Tools menu. Click on "Plugins." Once the Plugins window opens, select the "Available Plugins" tab. Look for the "Nb SpringBoot" plugin, then install and activate it. 2. Create a New Spring Boot Project: After restarting Netbeans IDE, you can create a new project with Spring Boot. Go to File > New Project. Under Categories, select Maven, then choose "Spring Boot Basic." 3. Add Dependencies: With your new project created, open the po

Spring Kafka - How to use ReplyingKafkaTemplate send and reply synchronously

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Today, I want to share how to use Kafka. It's quite interesting once you get the hang of it, and I hope my explanation will make it a bit easier for you. So, Kafka is primarily known as an asynchronous messaging queuing system. This means it allows different parts of your application to communicate with each other without waiting for immediate responses. However, there are times when you might need a more immediate reply from another service in your project. Luckily, Kafka can handle this too. Here’s how it works: The client side sends a message to the server side via Kafka. This message includes a special identifier in the Kafka header request, known as KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID, along with a topic where the server should respond. The server, after processing the request, sends a message back to the same topic with the same correlation ID. This way, the client knows that the message is a response to its initial request and can act accordingl
