Java Map And Filter, A lambda or anonymous expression example

java lambda expression
Java lambda expression 

It’s been a while since JDK 8 release, since that version of Java the language, it adopted many new nicer syntax, the one that i love is the Lambda expressions. 

Lambda or anonymous function can make you write in a nice looking functional one liner code, for example below is a Java way of looking for keywords if they match in an Array, true if match and false otherwise.

//given array
List<String> words = Arrays.asList( "foo", "bar", "cool" );
//check if 'cool' exists
boolean isCool = words.stream().anyMatch(word -> word.equals("cool"));

1. Map

Map objects to another value as specified by a Function object, example below to Reduce List of object Person, to just List of person names.

2. Filter

Filter objects that match a Predicate object. Example below is an example to filter people with certain age.

import lombok.Data;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;

public class ExampleJavaClass {
    private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(ExampleJavaClass.class.getName());
    static List<Person> PEOPLE = Arrays.asList(
            new Person("Adam", 24),
            new Person("Conan", 55),
            new Person("Roger", 18),
            new Person("Seth", 40)
    );
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            //find person by name and print
            System.out.println( ExampleJavaClass.getPersonByName ("adam") );
            //collect all person names and print
            System.out.println( ExampleJavaClass.getPersonNames () );
        } catch (Exception e) {
            logger.info(e.getMessage());
        }
    }
    static List<String> getPersonNames() throws Exception {
        //example map in Java
        return PEOPLE.stream()
                .map(Person::getName)
                .collect(Collectors.toList());
    }
    static Person getPersonByName(String name) throws Exception {
        //example filter in Java
        return PEOPLE.stream()
                .filter( person -> person.getName().equalsIgnoreCase( name ) )
                .collect(Collectors.toList())
                .get(0);
    }
    @Data
    public static class Person{
        final private String name;
        final private Integer age;
    }
}

In the example above, if you see the annotation @Data in the example above, i use a cool Java library called Lombok, so i don’t need to write Constructor, setter and getter in a class person. (project lombok can be found at https://projectlombok.org/)

You can do more cool, somewhat tricky Lambda stuff in Java, but mostly I only use it for array mapping, filtering, and finding if it contains something, other than that I am still kind of struggling. But don’t worry though, there’s Stackoverflow ready to help. 

And if you are using an Advanced IDE like Intellij IDEA, it will provide you a code assistant to do the best possible lambda in Java. (Intellij IDEA can be download at https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/)

Java is an old fashioned yet still reliable language to use in our software development. It has lots of advantages to use it than any other language like a general purpose language which means you can use Java from web application, mobile even a real world application to talk on hardware level. 

It’s also cross platform meaning, you can write single code and can run on any platform, and it certainly has millions of useful libraries ready to use for free.

ERROR 1348 Column Password Is Not Updatable When Updating MySQL Root Password

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...

How To Create Spring Boot Project Using Netbeans

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...
