Logging is a crucial aspect of application development as it helps in tracking the behavior of the application and diagnosing issues. In Java, logging can be done using various frameworks, with the Java Util Logging (JUL), Log4j, and SLF4J (with Logback) being among the most popular. Here’s a tutorial on logging in Java using…
Java introduced method references in Java 8 as a part of the lambda expressions feature. Method references provide a shorthand syntax to refer to methods without having to explicitly invoke them. This can make your code cleaner and easier to read. What are Method References? Method references are a way to refer to a…
Introduction Java 8 introduced significant enhancements to the language, including Streams and CompletableFuture. These features facilitate more efficient and expressive coding, particularly when handling collections and asynchronous computations. Combining Streams and CompletableFuture can lead to powerful and elegant solutions to complex problems. This article explores practical examples of how to combine these two features…
Introduction Java 8 introduced functional interfaces and lambda expressions, transforming the way developers write and approach Java code. A functional interface is an interface with a single abstract method, allowing for more streamlined and functional programming. This article will guide you through the concept of functional interfaces, their significance, and provide step-by-step examples to…
Introduction Lambda expressions, introduced in Java 8, are a powerful feature that allows developers to write concise and expressive code. They enable you to treat functionality as a method argument or pass a block of code around. Lambda expressions are a key feature of functional programming in Java, facilitating cleaner and more readable code,…
Introduction Java 21 introduces a range of exciting new features and enhancements that improve the language’s expressiveness, performance, and developer productivity. This article explores some of the most significant updates in Java 21, complete with practical examples to illustrate their usage. 1. Pattern Matching for switch (Third Preview) Pattern matching for switch enhances the…
Introduction Java 8 introduced several groundbreaking features, one of which is the ability to define default methods in interfaces. This enhancement allows interfaces to include method implementations, providing more flexibility in API design and evolution. In this article, we will explore the concept of default methods, their benefits, and practical examples demonstrating their use.…
Introduction Java 15 continues to build upon the improvements introduced in Java 14, focusing on enhancing developer productivity, improving performance, and introducing experimental features that may become permanent in future releases. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the new features and enhancements in Java 15, complete with practical examples to illustrate their usage.…
Introduction Spring Boot is a popular framework for building Java-based web applications. It simplifies the development process by providing default configurations and a variety of tools for creating stand-alone, production-grade applications. Ollama is a hypothetical API service for machine learning tasks (e.g., text generation, image processing, etc.). In this tutorial, we will build a…
Introduction Microservices architecture is a modern approach to building scalable, maintainable, and resilient applications by breaking down a large monolithic system into smaller, loosely coupled services. Each service in a microservices architecture is responsible for a specific business capability and can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently. This architectural style is well-suited to the…
