I’ve created an example how to implement an undo feature in a Quarkus application that uses a Neo4J database. From a user perspective, an undo action might look little spectacular, but once you know what needs to be taken into account on a database side, it’s everything but trivial.

Each one serves its purpose but we might want some rules that assist us with the format of the data exchanged through our requests. On this blog we will focus on the matchers for xml.

Amidst these requests for numerous disparate new operations, one operation that seems to be requested more than the others is an operation that directly provides a List from a Stream. JDK 16 Early Access Build 27 introduces ...

Java’s String.repeat(int) method is an example of a “small” addition to Java (introduced with JDK 11) that I find myself frequently using and appreciating. This post describes use of JDK 11-introduced String.repeat(int) for easier custom generation of SQL WHERE clauses with the appropriate number of “?” parameter placeholders for use with PreparedStatements.
