Time flies! I remember the time when Java 8 was such a reference, and everybody was talking about it like something new and revolutionary. Frankly speaking, it was new and revolutionary. But now, projects using Java 8 might be labeled "legacy." If Java 8 itself became a legacy, the features introduced in that version would still be actual. And let's talk today about one of them - Stream API.
In case you don't know, Java Stream API is a powerful tool that allows programmers to write Java code in a functional programming style. Introduced long ago, it makes working with collections easier by enabling filtering, transformation, and aggregation.

OAuth 2.0 is a widely used authorization framework that allows third-party applications to access user resources on a resource server without sharing the user's credentials.
The Password Grant type, also known as Resource Owner Password Credentials Grant, is a specific authorization grant defined in the OAuth 2.0 specification. It's particularly useful in scenarios where the client application is highly trusted and has a direct relationship with the user (e.g., a native mobile app or a first-party web application). This grant type allows the client to request an access token by directly providing the user's username and password to the authorization server. While convenient, it's crucial to implement this grant type securely, as it involves handling sensitive user credentials.

In the last two years we've been putting a lot of effort into improving how the WildFly project interacts with our community, including adding new communication channels like our , adding new and creating a transparent . WildFly has been a successful project for a long time now, and I believe that's largely because we are passionate about serving our community. To help us continue on this path, we are considering moving WildFly to a vendor-neutral software foundation. Our hope is that by doing this we could further expand our community, improve our openness and transparency, refresh our governance model, and encourage more participation by contributors not affiliated with Red Hat. IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS Moving to a foundation is not a trivial task, so it's critical that the choice we make is a net benefit to our community. To help ensure this, there are a number of key factors we're looking at when evaluating what foundation would be the best fit: * Flexibility to continue shipping third-party components using a wide array of Open Source Initiative (OSI)-approved Open Source licences. * Maintain as much as possible our current release processes. * Retain independence in decision making, particularly on technical matters. SUPPORT AND ALIGNMENT WITH RED HAT VALUES Red Hat is dedicated to participating in and supporting vendor-neutral collaboration projects, such as the Linux kernel, Kubernetes, and OpenJDK; doing so is part of the company's DNA. Red Hat business leaders are fully supportive of this move. COMMUNITY FEEDBACK We'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Let us know what you're thinking either on the , in the or in Best regards, Brian

Asking our Java file-processing applications to manipulate PDF documents can only increase their value in the long run. PDF is by far the most popular, widely used file type in the world today, and that's unlikely to change any time soon.
Introduction
In this article, we'll specifically learn how to divide PDF files into a series of separate PDF documents in Java - resulting in exactly one new PDF per page of the original file - and we'll discuss open-source and third-party web API options to facilitate implementing that programmatic workflow into our code. We'll start with a high-level overview of how PDF files are structured to make this type of workflow possible.

UPDATE To update to Quarkus 3.18, we recommend updating to the latest version of the Quarkus CLI and run: quarkus update Note that quarkus update can update your applications from any version of Quarkus (including 2.x) to Quarkus 3.18. For more information about the adjustments you need to make to your applications, please refer to the . WHAT'S NEW? WEBSOCKETS.NEXT Our next-generation WebSockets extension continues to improve with each version. In 3.18, it comes with Micrometer integration. SECURITY You are used to it, each version comes with a lot of enhancements to our security layer, offering even more flexibility. This time, it comes with the complete rewrite of our Security Webauthn extension to leverage the WebAuthn4J library (if you are using this extension, please have a look at the as a lot of things have changed), a lot of new features for OIDC, and improvements to our TLS registry: * - Reimplement security-webauthn on top of webauthn4j * - OIDC and OIDC Client: Support JWT bearer client authentication using client assertion loaded from filesystem * - Support for OIDC mTLS binding * - Support OidcProviderClient injection and token revocation * - Add OIDC Redis Token State Manager extension * - Allow to create static OIDC tenants programmatically * - OIDC Dev Services and UI changes * - TLS - Enable policy configuration for expired or not yet valid certificates * - Add support for encrypted PKCS#8 OPENTELEMETRY TRACING When using OpenTelemetry Tracing, it happens quite often that you don't want to collect any trace for a given URI. 3.18 comes with the quarkus.otel.traces.suppress-application-uris that allows to define URIs that are going to be ignored. You can find more information about this new feature in the . KUBERNETES CLIENT The Kubernetes Client was upgraded to a major new version: Kubernetes Client 7. You can find more information about this upgrade in our . DEV UI We polished our Dev UI with two new features: * A screen to browse the tables exposes by your datasources * A quick link to report an issue to the Quarkus project on GitHub PREPARING OUR NEXT LTS We are also preparing our next LTS with various initiatives: * A lot of extensions were migrated to the new @ConfigMapping-based configuration infrastructure (and this effort will continue in the next versions). * We are making enhancements related to startup time and initial memory (RSS) usage. * We are removing code that was deprecated for a long time. Expect us to focus on polishing features and fixing issues for the upcoming 3.19 and 3.20. PLATFORM COMPONENT UPGRADES QUARKUS CXF Quarkus CXF 3.18 was released and is now available in .

jQuery's influence on the web will always be evident. When it was first introduced in 2006, jQuery became a fundamental tool for web developers almost immediately. It simplified JavaScript programming, making it easier to manipulate HTML documents, handle events, perform animations, and much more. Since then, it has played and continues to play a major … Continue reading →
