Introduction If you have not tried the Text Blocks feature introduced in Java 13 then the following post will help you to get started Java 13 - Example to use Text Blocks for Multi line String literals We can concatenate TextBlocks as we do with normal String as demonstrated in the following example. Example public class TextBlock { public static void main(String[] args) { String html = """             <html>                 <body>                  """ +                 """   <h1> Header One </h1>                 <p> Paragraph One </p>               """ +                 """                 <h1> Header One </h1>                 <p> Paragraph One </p>       """ +                """                 </body>              </html>                 """; S

Java 13 - Example to use Text Blocks for Multi line String literals

Introduction Lengthy Strings in Java code becomes hard to read. Multiline String literals can be XML, JSON, HTML, SQL queries, Hibernate or JPA queries, etc. Example String html = " <html>\r\n" + " <body>\r\n" + " <p>Hello, world</p>\r\n" + " </body>\r\n" + " </html>\r\n" ; Solution Thanks to the Text blocks feature introduced in Java 13. Now, these multiline String literals are more presentable in Java code. 1. Configuring Eclipse for Text Blocks 1.1 Requirments JDK 13 Eclipse Version: 2020-03 (4.15.0) 1.2 Eclipse Error 1 String literal is not properly closed by a double-quote 1.2.1 Solution Change the source of your program to 13 as shown in the following screenshot Java Source 13 1.3 Eclipse Error 2 Text Blocks is a preview feature and disabled by default. Use --enable-preview to enable 1.3.2 Eclipse Erro

JDK 14 - Target is not a JDK root. System library was not found.

My downloaded JDK folder was named as jdk-14 Solution I simply renamed my folder from jdk-14 to jdk-14.0 and it worked. The jdk 14 was successfully added to the Eclipse. Conclusion I t seems that sometimes Eclipse is not able to locate the jdk folder, renaming the folder refreshes the cache of Eclipse and then respective folder is located by Eclipse.

Java - How to convert an array of bytes i.e. byte[] to String ?

Introduction In this post, we will explore how to convert an array of bytes i.e. byte[] to String in Java. For this functionality, we will use the following constructor of java.lang.String class String (byte[] bytes,  String  enc) Example import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets; public class ByteArrayToString { public static void main(String[] args) { byte[] bytes = "a quick fox jumps over the lazy dog".getBytes(); // convert the bytes to String System.out.println("bytes = " + bytes); System.out.println( "bytes.toString() = " + bytes.toString()); String myString = new String ( bytes , StandardCharsets.UTF_8); System.out.println("myString = " + myString); } } Output bytes = [B@41a4555e bytes.toString() = [B@41a4555e myString = a quick fox jumps over the lazy dog Conclusion In this post, we learned how to convert an array of bytes to String.

Java - How to convert String to InputStream?

Introduction In this post, we will learn how to convert String to InputStream in Java. Example import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream; import java.io.InputStream; public class StringToInputStream { public static void main(String[] args) { String text = "A quick fox jumps over a lazy dog"; try ( InputStream inputStream = convertToInputStream(text) ) { //TODO you business logic goes here } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } private static InputStream convertToInputStream(String text) throws Exception { return new ByteArrayInputStream(text.getBytes()); } } Conclusion This is the simplest and shortest way to convert a String to InputStream in Java.

Oracle 12 C - JDBC connection string to connect through Service Name

Introduction Mostly we make a connection to Oracle using JDBC through SID. Recently I have to make a connection to Oracle using Service Name. I am writing this post to share my experience. SID Connection String  jdbc:oracle:thin:@IP:1521:SID Service Name connection String  jdbc:oracle:thin:@(description=(address=(host=IP)(protocol=tcp)(port=1521))(connect_data=(service_name=UR_SERVICE_NAME))) Replace Service Name and host address per your configuration These strings work both for plain JDBC and hibernate. For hibernate configuration, put the above string inside <property name="connection.url">Above connection String</property> tag of hibernate.cfg.xml. Conclusion In this post, we learn how to connect to Oracle using both SID and Service Name. Happy learning

Java - How to convert InputStream to String?

Introduction In this tutorial, we will learn how to convert InputStream to String in Java. Example import java.io.InputStream; import java.net.URL; public class InputStreamToString { public static void main(String[] args) { //very frequent asked question in interview , regarding closable interface try(InputStream inputStream = new URL("https://www.oracle.com/index.html").openStream()){ System.out.println(convertToString(inputStream)); }catch (Exception e) { // TODO: handle exception } } private static String convertToString(InputStream inputStream) throws Exception{ return new String(inputStream.readAllBytes()); } } Conclusion Above example is the simplest method to convert an Inpustream to String in Java. There are alternate solutions available like using commonio jar and converting InputStream to ByteStream etc. Hope you enjoy this tutorial. Happy learning
