1. Overview Today, we’ll be reviewing the differences between Expression-Based Access Control (EBAC), Role Based Access Control (RBAC), and Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC), with a deeper focus on EBAC. 2. What is Expression-Based Access Control? Simply put, Expression-Based Access Control is the use of expressions to write authorization. The phrase Expression-Based Access Control (EBAC) is currently most commonly associated ...

JDK 12 Early Access Build 24 introduces support for Compact Number Formatting. The JDK-8188147 (Compact Number Formatting support) CSR‘s “Summary” is the simple sentence, “Adding support for the compact/short number formatting in JDK.” That same CSR also provides a detailed “Solution” section that provides background on providing numbers in multiple compact forms for each Locale and the constructs/APIs added to the JDK to support this ...

I hang out in the Corda Slack channel quite a lot and try to answer questions when I can. A reasonable number of questions I have attempted to answer are related to Oracles. More specifically, when to use one. I feel like I can answer that, “Use an Oracle when you need to validate external data that can change frequently”. ...

In Java 11, the java launcher has been enhanced to run single-file source code programs directly, without having to compile them first. For example, consider the following class that simply adds its arguments: import java.util.*; public class Add { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println(Arrays.stream(args) .mapToInt(Integer::parseInt) .sum()); } } In previous versions of Java, you would first have to ...

Microservices written with SparkJava are just plain Java code using a standard Java library. No annotation magic, just code. The advantage of this simple style of programming is that it is, well, simple. It’s so simple that the Graal native compiler just compiles it without blinking, something which is currently very difficult with more complex frameworks like Spring, for example. ...

Many spark applications have now become legacy applications and it is very hard to enhance, test & run locally. Spark has very good testing support but still many spark applications are not testable. I will share one common error that appears when you try to run some old spark applications. Exception in thread "main" org.apache.spark.SparkException: A master URL must be ...

Introduction The Fork/Join framework is a framework to solve a problem using a concurrent divide-and-conquer approach. They were introduced to complement the existing concurrency API. Before their introduction, the existing ExecutorService implementations were the popular choice to run asynchronous tasks, but they work best when the tasks are homogenous and independent. Running dependent tasks and combining their results using those ...

It was recently proposed that the Java preview feature Raw String Literals (JEP 326) be removed from JDK 12 and it is now official that the preview feature will be removed (version 25 of Java SE 12 [JSR 386] removes it). Several methods had been added to the JDK String class to support this feature. Those methods that were added ...

In my previous post, I showed how to convert a java.sql.ResultSet to JSON and stream it back to the caller. This post, is about streaming it in CSV format instead. Streaming allows you to transfer the data, little by little, without having to load it all into the server’s memory. For example, consider the following ResultSet: +---------+-----+ | Name | ...
