fidzu : Java

September's here, and that means back to work, back to school. Or not. It feels like the world is applying a lot of wishful thinking and behaving as if everything is going back to normal. With so much uncertainty right now, it's a tempting approach for sure.

Anyway this is supposed to be about Java. This month we have another huge edition for you, and it includes the inevitable look at Java 15, a bunch of news about Java 16, articles and videos on testing, Java / Jakarta EE, and Java libraries.

Let us start with simple example test case like the following:

These days with the presence of numerous GUI based and Web based apps, receiving input and data via console has reduced. However, there are applications that require and run in a console. Java applications are not an exception to this.

Getting input from the user was not as simple in Java as in other languages like scanf in C, cin in C++ and the input() method in Python. In the early days one had to write code like this

A use case I hope from the above picture you can get an idea of "how an implicit can be useful". This is just a single use case and if you are more interested in knowing about Implicit then this blog is for you. In this blog, I am going to discuss Implicit in Scala. I hope this will be useful to you. So, let's talk about implicit

What Is Implicit?

The literal meaning of implicit is "Something that is suggested or implied". We can see it as something that is not directly or that someone understands themselves. In Scala also, the implicit has pretty much similar meaning. Before going into much detail, I'll take a simple example and explain how the compiler implements it.

In a previous article, we learned about the proposal of DTO, the benefits and the issues about this new layer in our Java Application We can isolate the model from control in the MVC architecture perspective, although we add a new layer that implies more complexity, furthermore, there is a work of conversion between entity and DTO. In this tutorial, we'll explore one more tool the MapStruct.

MapStruct is a code generator that dramatically simplifies the mappings between Java bean types based on a convention over configuration approach. The generated mapping code uses explicit method invocations and thus is fast, type-safe, and easy to understand.

Consider the following Author entity that delegates the keys generation to the database system:

xxxxxxxxxx

@Entity public class Author implements Serializable { 

  @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY) 

  private Long id; 

  private int age; 

  private String name; 

  private String genre; 

  ... 

}

Now, let's see how to retrieve the database auto-generated primary keys via getId(), JdbcTemplate and SimpleJdbcInsert.

PDF documents are one of the most well-known and user-friendly formats for providing information to clients or associates. With its incredible versatility and compatibility, most platforms including PC, Mac, Linux, web browsers, and mobile platforms prefer this format for the sharing of locked documents and reports. Its convenience and maintenance of quality and fidelity make it the top choice for many organizations.

The option to convert to PDF or print a spreadsheet from within your application is invaluable for your clients and will remove the worry of corrupted formatting that make occur in directly saving an Excel file. Furthermore, when working with complex information such as the data input in Excel Spreadsheets, one accidental key stroke in an unlocked document could cause extensive damage and possibly hours of work to find and fix the mistake. This problem is easily solved, however, by sharing your completed document as a PDF rather than an open spreadsheet, as it removes the danger of accidental editing. To help solve these issues, the following Convert API will provide you with an easy way to convert your Excel documents into PDF using Java.

From the Ceylon dept.:

Gavin King of Red Hat/Hibernate/Seam fame recently unveiled the top secret project that he has been working on over the past two years, a new language and SDK designed to replace Java in the enterprise. The project came out of hiding without much fanfare or publicity at QCon Beijing in a keynote titled "The Ceylon Project - the next generation of Java language?".

From the Yet Another dept.:

To further its commitment to the Java Community Process (JCP), Oracle has submitted the first of two Java Specification Requests (JSRs) to update and revitalize the JCP.

10 Nov 2011 6:01am GMT

From the Fact Checking dept.:

ZDNET: Sometimes the sheer wrongness of what is posted on the web leaves us speechless. Especially when it's picked up and repeated as gospel by otherwise reputable sites like Engadget. "Google copied Oracle's Java code, pasted in a new license, and shipped it," they reported this morning.



Sorry, but that just isn't true.

10 Nov 2011 6:01am GMT

From the Grande dept.:

Oracle today announced the availability of Java Platform, Standard Edition 7 (Java SE 7), the first release of the Java platform under Oracle stewardship.

10 Nov 2011 6:01am GMT

From the Jitters dept.:

The next edition of Java has been approved by a Java Community Process executive committee, but not without some acrimony.

10 Nov 2011 6:01am GMT

From the JDK dept.:

After an initial round of testing we've declared build 147 to be the first Release Candidate of JDK 7.



There are only thirteen changes in this build. Over half of them are administrivial updates that don't affect the actual code; the remainder are true showstoppers, including several hard VM crashes and a JIT correctness bug identified by an Eclipse unit test.

From the Counter dept.:

Google has filed its answer to Oracle's amended complaint and its memorandum opposing Oracle's Motion to Dismiss. And we find out why Google didn't just roll over and pay Oracle for a license. Oracle asked in its motion to dismiss that the counterclaims alleging that Oracle's patents are invalid be dismissed. So Google explains more thoroughly why it believes they are in fact invalid. First, Google asserts:



Each of the Patents-in-Suit is invalid under 35 U.S.C. § 101 because one or more claims are directed to abstract ideas or other non-statutory subject matter.

From the Dis Harmony dept.:

The Apache Software Foundation - one of tech's most influential open-source groups - is closer to quitting Java's governing body after losing a stand-off vote against Oracle on Java.



The Reg has learned that with 75 per cent of qualifying Java Community Process (JCP) members having voted on whether to ratify Oracle's proposed roadmap for Java 7 and 8, Oracle's plan has been accepted.

10 Nov 2011 6:01am GMT

From the So Long dept.:

The Apache Software Foundation has resigned its seat on the Java SE/EE Executive Committee. Apache has served on the EC for the past 10 years, winning the JCP "Member of the Year" award 4 times, and recently was ratified for another term with support from 95% of the voting community. Further, the project communities of the ASF, home to Apache Tomcat, Ant, Xerces, Geronimo, Velocity and nearly a 100 mainstay java components have implemented countless JSRs and serve on and contribute to many of the JCPs technical expert groups.



We'd like to provide some explanation to the community as to why we're taking this significant step.



The recent Java SE 7 vote was the last chance for the JCP EC to demonstrate that the EC has any intent to defend the JCP as an open specification process, and demonstrate that the letter and spirit of the law matter. To sum up the issues at stake in the vote, we believe that while continuing to fail to uphold their responsibilities under the JSPA, Oracle provided the EC with a Java SE 7 specification request and license that are self-contradictory, severely restrict distribution of independent implementations of the spec, and most importantly, prohibit the distribution of independent open source implementations of the spec. Oracle has refused to answer any reasonable and responsible questions from the EC regarding these problems.

10 Nov 2011 6:01am GMT

From the DisHarmony dept.:

After the resignation of Apache from the Java SE/EE Executive Committee, the time has now come for Harmony to be added to the Apache Attic. Harmony was 'the project to produce an open source cleanroom implementation of Java.' An open vote was taken within the Project Management Committee, which resulted in a 20-2 majority to discontinue development.
