By: Nick Samoylov, Mohamed Sanaulla

Overview of this book

For more than three decades, Java has been on the forefront of developing robust software that has helped versatile businesses meet their requirements. Being one of the most widely used programming languages in history, it’s imperative for Java developers to discover effective ways of using it in order to take full advantage of the power of the latest Java features. Java 11 Cookbook offers a range of software development solutions with simple and straightforward Java 11 code examples to help you build a modern software system. Starting with the installation of Java, each recipe addresses various problem by explaining the solution and offering insights into how it works. You’ll explore the new features added to Java 11 that will make your application modular, secure, and fast. The book contains recipes on functional programming, GUI programming, concurrent programming, and database programming in Java. You’ll also be taken through the new features introduced in JDK 18.3 and 18.9. By the end of this book, you’ll be equipped with the skills required to write robust, scalable, and optimal Java code effectively.

Introduction

It is difficult to imagine a complex software application that does not use some kind of structured and accessible data storage called a database. This is why any modern language implementation includes a framework that allows you to access the DB and create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) data in it. In Java, the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) API provides access to any data source, from relational databases to spreadsheets and flat files.

 

Based on this access, an application can manipulate data in the database directly, using database language (SQL, for example), or indirectly, using an Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) framework, which allows for the mapping of objects in memory to the tables in the database. The Java Persistence API (JPA) is the ORM specification for Java. When an ORM framework is used, the CRUD operations on the mapped Java objects are translated into the database language automatically. The list of the most popular ORM frameworks includes Apache Cayenne...
