I have previously blogged about the optimizations we are doing in the Apache Camel core. The first 3 blogs (part1, part2, part3) were a while back leading up to the 3.4 LTS release. We have done more work (part4, part5) and this (part 6) that will be included in the next Camel 3.7 LTS release (to be released this month).  This time we ...

Representational state transfer (REST) is an architectural style that describes best practices to expose web services over HTTP, emphasizing performance, scalability, simplicity, modifiability, visibility, portability, and reliability. REST exposes resources through URIs using nouns (not verbs), supporting a limited set of operations (GET, PUT, POST, DELETE). Clients can request particular representations (HTML, XML, JSON, etc) that can link to other ...

This is the third part of the article series: Processing real-time data with Storm, Kafka, and ElasticSearch. 1. Introduction In the second part, we learned how to perform searches in ElasticSearch. However, we failed to import the .json flight data files to ElasticSearch using its bulk API. In this article, we will do some programming, and learn some ways on ...

A parameterized test allows you to run a test against a varying set of data. If you find yourself calling the same test but with different inputs, over and over again, a parameterized test would help make your code cleaner. To create one in JUnit 5 you need to: Annotate the test method with @ParameterizedTest Annotate the test method with ...

If you are seasoned Java developer who practices test-driven development (hopefully, everyone does it), it is very likely JUnit 4 has been your one-stop-shop testing toolbox. Personally, I truly loved it and still love: simple, minimal, non-intrusive and intuitive. Along with terrific libraries like Assertj and Hamcrest it makes writing test cases a pleasure. But time passes by, Java has ...
