Core Java

In this post, we feature a comprehensive article which explains the Problem with creating Generic Arrays. The Java programming language added generics in September of 2004 in the Java 5.0 “Tiger” release. The system of generics or type parameterization, extends Java’s existing type system while providing type safety. 1. Introduction Java has the Collections Framework, providing a library of generic ...

JVM has provided helpful arguments to deal with OutOfMemoryError. In this article, we would like to highlight those JVM arguments. It might come handy for you when you are troubleshooting OutOfMemoryError. Those JVM arguments are: -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:HeapDumpPath-XX:OnOutOfMemoryError-XX:+ExitOnOutOfMemoryError-XX:+CrashOnOutOfMemoryError Let’s discuss these JVM arguments in detail in this article. (1). XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:HeapDumpPath Heap dump is basically a snapshot of memory. It contains details ...

Have you ever come across this mind-boggling bug and wonder how to solve it? Let’s go through the post and study how we address the Illegal start of expression Java error. This is a dynamic error, which means that the compiler finds something that doesn’t follow the rules or syntax of Java programming. Beginners mostly face this bug in Java. ...

Declarative code (e.g. functional composition with Streams) provides superior code metrics in many cases. Code your way through this hands-on-lab article series and mature into a better Java programmer by becoming a Master of Java Streams. The whole idea with Streams is to represent a pipeline through which data will flow and the pipeline’s functions operate on the data. This ...

JDK 13 went GA on September 17th, 2019 and the prominent new features are listed here. One of the new features is “text blocks”. This allows writing multiline strings easily without the need for concatenation while splitting into different lines. Lets quickly look at the different ways of creating multiline strings: String aBlock = """ SELECT id, first_name, last_name, dob FROM ...

Foreword: The two issues described here, were discovered and fixed more than a year ago. This article only serves as historical proof, and a beginners’ guide on tackling file descriptor leaks in Java. In Ultra ESB we use an in-memory RAM disk file cache for fast and garbage-free payload handling. Some time back, we faced an issue on our shared ...

A team member was having a bit of trouble with the following code: 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 void extractData(String targetUri) {     Path tempFile = createTempFilePath();     extractDataToPathAndUpload(tempFile, targetUri);     cleanUp(tempFile); }   void extractDataToPathAndUpload(Path tempFile, String targetUri) {    try (FileOutputStream stream = createOutput(tempFile)) {       // extract from db to file stream ...

I owe my pretty high StackOverflow reputation to this question in particular, which I asked a few years ago: How do you print an ISO 8601 date in Java? It managed to collect a lot of upvotes since then and 20+ answers, including my own one. Seriously, why didn’t Java, such a rich ecosystem, have a built-in out-of-the-box simple solution ...

In this article I will describe how you can use Java::Geci generator Repeated to overcome the Java language shortage that generics cannot be primitive. The example is a suggested extension of the Apache Commons Lang library. Introduction When you copy-paste code you do something wrong. At least that is the perception. You have to create your code structure more generalized ...
