Custom Canonical constructor in Record

In the previous post under Java Record, I mentioned how the compiler creates a long (canonical) constructor automatically. In this post, I will explain how to create a custom canonical constructor. Now why we need to provide a custom canonical constructor when it is already provided by compiler. The canonical constructor created by compiler will…… Continue reading Custom Canonical constructor in Record

Collections checkedCollection example

In this post under Java, I will explain with example the purpose of Collections “checkedCollection” method. From Java 5 onwards, we started using Generics to ensure compile time type safety. As a result of which we were unable to add element of one data type to collections of elements of another data type. At compile…… Continue reading Collections checkedCollection example

Collections indexOfSubList method

In this post under Java Core, I will explain with example the pupose of Collections’ “indexOfSubList” method. Lets say they are two lists list1 and list2. “indexOfSubList” will search in list1 for position from where the elements of “list2” are repeated in “list1”. Once the position is found it is returned as index. In other…… Continue reading Collections indexOfSubList method

Skipping mapping of particular attribute

In this post under MapStruct, I will show with example how to configure MapStruct to skip particular attribute mapping from source to destination. For our example I will use the below pojo classes as shown below Student package package3; public class Student { private int id; private String name; private String className; public int getId()…… Continue reading Skipping mapping of particular attribute

Collections replaceAll method

In this post under Java Collections, I will explain with example the purpose of Collections “replaceAll” method. This method replaces all occurrences of a particular element with its replacements. This method can be used only with “List” data structure. Below is the main class showing an example Main class 1 package core.collection; 2 3 import…… Continue reading Collections replaceAll method

Java Comparable interface

In this post under Java Collections, I will explain with example the purpose of “Comparable” interface. Before we understand “Comparable” interface we need to understand the difference between “ordered” and “sorted” collections. In Ordered collections, elements are placed in a collection according to insertion order or according to some order and the order is not…… Continue reading Java Comparable interface

Object Mapping between classes with different attributes

In the previous post under MapStruct I showed an example of how to use MapStruct framework for object mapping. I assumed that attribute names in source class and destination class are same. What if they are not. In this post, I will show with an example how to configure MapStruct to map between source and…… Continue reading Object Mapping between classes with different attributes
