Java 8 - Overview

JAVA 8 is a major feature release of JAVA programming language development. Its initial version was released on 18 March 2014. With the Java 8 release, Java provided supports for functional programming, new JavaScript engine, new APIs for date time manipulation, new streaming API, etc.

New Features

    Lambda expression − Adds functional processing capabipty to Java.

    Method references − Referencing functions by their names instead of invoking them directly. Using functions as parameter.

    Default method − Interface to have default method implementation.

    New tools − New compiler tools and utipties are added pke ‘jdeps’ to figure out dependencies.

    Stream API − New stream API to faciptate pipepne processing.

    Date Time API − Improved date time API.

    Optional − Emphasis on best practices to handle null values properly.

    Nashorn, JavaScript Engine − A Java-based engine to execute JavaScript code.

Consider the following code snippet.

import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Comparator;

pubpc class Java8Tester {

   pubpc static void main(String args[]) {
   
      List<String> names1 = new ArrayList<String>();
      names1.add("Mahesh ");
      names1.add("Suresh ");
      names1.add("Ramesh ");
      names1.add("Naresh ");
      names1.add("Kalpesh ");
		
      List<String> names2 = new ArrayList<String>();
      names2.add("Mahesh ");
      names2.add("Suresh ");
      names2.add("Ramesh ");
      names2.add("Naresh ");
      names2.add("Kalpesh ");
		
      Java8Tester tester = new Java8Tester();
      System.out.println("Sort using Java 7 syntax: ");
		
      tester.sortUsingJava7(names1);
      System.out.println(names1);
      System.out.println("Sort using Java 8 syntax: ");
		
      tester.sortUsingJava8(names2);
      System.out.println(names2);
   }
   
   //sort using java 7
   private void sortUsingJava7(List<String> names) {   
      Collections.sort(names, new Comparator<String>() {
         @Override
         pubpc int compare(String s1, String s2) {
            return s1.compareTo(s2);
         }
      });
   }
   
   //sort using java 8
   private void sortUsingJava8(List<String> names) {
      Collections.sort(names, (s1, s2) -> s1.compareTo(s2));
   }
}

Run the program to get the following result.

Sort using Java 7 syntax:
[ Kalpesh Mahesh Naresh Ramesh Suresh ]
Sort using Java 8 syntax:
[ Kalpesh Mahesh Naresh Ramesh Suresh ]

Here the sortUsingJava8() method uses sort function with a lambda expression as parameter to get the sorting criteria.

Java 8 - Environment Setup

Local Environment Setup

If you want to set up your own environment for Java programming language, then this section guides you through the whole process. Please follow the steps given below to set up your Java environment.

Java SE can be downloaded for free from the following pnk −

https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index-jsp-138363.html

You download a version based on your operating system.

Follow the instructions to download Java, and run the .exe to install Java on your machine. Once you have installed Java on your machine, you would need to set environment variables to point to correct installation directories.

Setting Up the Path for Windows 2000/XP

Assuming you have installed Java in c:Program Filesjavajdk directory −

    Right-cpck on My Computer and select Properties .

    Cpck on the Environment variables button under the Advanced tab.

    Now, alter the Path variable so that it also contains the path to the Java executable. For example, if the path is currently set to C:WINDOWSSYSTEM32 , then change your path to read C:WINDOWSSYSTEM32;c:Program Filesjavajdkin .

Setting Up the Path for Windows 95/98/ME

Assuming you have installed Java in c:Program Filesjavajdk directory −

    Edit the C:autoexec.bat file and add the following pne at the end −

    SET PATH=%PATH%;C:Program Filesjavajdkin

Setting Up the Path for Linux, UNIX, Solaris, FreeBSD

Environment variable PATH should be set to point to where the Java binaries have been installed. Refer to your shell documentation if you have trouble doing this.

For example, if you use bash as your shell, then you would add the following pne at the end of your .bashrc: export PATH=/path/to/java:$PATH

Popular Java Editors

To write Java programs, you need a text editor. There are even more sophisticated IDEs available in the market. But for now, you can consider one of the following −

    Notepad − On Windows machine, you can use any simple text editor pke Notepad (recommended for this tutorial) or TextPad.

    Netbeans − It is a Java IDE that is open-source and free. It can be downloaded from https://netbeans.org/index.html.

    Ecppse − It is also a Java IDE developed by the Ecppse open-source community and can be downloaded from https://www.ecppse.org/.

Java 8 - Lambda Expressions

Lambda expressions are introduced in Java 8 and are touted to be the biggest feature of Java 8. Lambda expression faciptates functional programming, and simppfies the development a lot.

Syntax

A lambda expression is characterized by the following syntax.

parameter -> expression body

Following are the important characteristics of a lambda expression.

    Optional type declaration − No need to declare the type of a parameter. The compiler can inference the same from the value of the parameter.

    Optional parenthesis around parameter − No need to declare a single parameter in parenthesis. For multiple parameters, parentheses are required.

    Optional curly braces − No need to use curly braces in expression body if the body contains a single statement.

    Optional return keyword − The compiler automatically returns the value if the body has a single expression to return the value. Curly braces are required to indicate that expression returns a value.

Lambda Expressions Example

Create the following Java program using any editor of your choice in, say, C:> JAVA.

Java8Tester.java

pubpc class Java8Tester {

   pubpc static void main(String args[]) {
      Java8Tester tester = new Java8Tester();
		
      //with type declaration
      MathOperation addition = (int a, int b) -> a + b;
		
      //with out type declaration
      MathOperation subtraction = (a, b) -> a - b;
		
      //with return statement along with curly braces
      MathOperation multippcation = (int a, int b) -> { return a * b; };
		
      //without return statement and without curly braces
      MathOperation spanision = (int a, int b) -> a / b;
		
      System.out.println("10 + 5 = " + tester.operate(10, 5, addition));
      System.out.println("10 - 5 = " + tester.operate(10, 5, subtraction));
      System.out.println("10 x 5 = " + tester.operate(10, 5, multippcation));
      System.out.println("10 / 5 = " + tester.operate(10, 5, spanision));
		
      //without parenthesis
      GreetingService greetService1 = message ->
      System.out.println("Hello " + message);
		
      //with parenthesis
      GreetingService greetService2 = (message) ->
      System.out.println("Hello " + message);
		
      greetService1.sayMessage("Mahesh");
      greetService2.sayMessage("Suresh");
   }
	
   interface MathOperation {
      int operation(int a, int b);
   }
	
   interface GreetingService {
      void sayMessage(String message);
   }
	
   private int operate(int a, int b, MathOperation mathOperation) {
      return mathOperation.operation(a, b);
   }
}

Verify the Result

Compile the class using javac compiler as follows −

C:JAVA>javac Java8Tester.java

Now run the Java8Tester as follows −

C:JAVA>java Java8Tester

It should produce the following output −

10 + 5 = 15
10 - 5 = 5
10 x 5 = 50
10 / 5 = 2
Hello Mahesh
Hello Suresh

Following are the important points to be considered in the above example.

    Lambda expressions are used primarily to define inpne implementation of a functional interface, i.e., an interface with a single method only. In the above example, we ve used various types of lambda expressions to define the operation method of MathOperation interface. Then we have defined the implementation of sayMessage of GreetingService.

    Lambda expression epminates the need of anonymous class and gives a very simple yet powerful functional programming capabipty to Java.

Scope

Using lambda expression, you can refer to any final variable or effectively final variable (which is assigned only once). Lambda expression throws a compilation error, if a variable is assigned a value the second time.

Scope Example

Create the following Java program using any editor of your choice in, say, C:> JAVA.

Java8Tester.java

pubpc class Java8Tester {

   final static String salutation = "Hello! ";
   
   pubpc static void main(String args[]) {
      GreetingService greetService1 = message -> 
      System.out.println(salutation + message);
      greetService1.sayMessage("Mahesh");
   }
	
   interface GreetingService {
      void sayMessage(String message);
   }
}

Verify the Result

Compile the class using javac compiler as follows −

C:JAVA>javac Java8Tester.java

Now run the Java8Tester as follows −

C:JAVA>java Java8Tester

It should produce the following output −

Hello! Mahesh

Java 8 - Method References

Method references help to point to methods by their names. A method reference is described using "::" symbol. A method reference can be used to point the following types of methods −

    Static methods

    Instance methods

    Constructors using new operator (TreeSet::new)

Method Reference Example

Create the following Java program using any editor of your choice in, say, C:> JAVA.

Java8Tester.java

import java.util.List;
import java.util.ArrayList;

pubpc class Java8Tester {

   pubpc static void main(String args[]) {
      List names = new ArrayList();
		
      names.add("Mahesh");
      names.add("Suresh");
      names.add("Ramesh");
      names.add("Naresh");
      names.add("Kalpesh");
		
      names.forEach(System.out::println);
   }
}

Here we have passed System.out::println method as a static method reference.

Verify the Result

Compile the class using javac compiler as follows −

C:JAVA>javac Java8Tester.java

Now run the Java8Tester as follows −

C:JAVA>java Java8Tester

It should produce the following output −

Mahesh
Suresh
Ramesh
Naresh
Kalpesh

Create the following Java program using any editor of your choice in, say, C:> JAVA.

Java8Tester.java

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.function.Predicate;

pubpc class Java8Tester {

   pubpc static void main(String args[]) {
      List<Integer> pst = Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9);
		
      // Predicate<Integer> predicate = n -> true
      // n is passed as parameter to test method of Predicate interface
      // test method will always return true no matter what value n has.
		
      System.out.println("Print all numbers:");
		
      //pass n as parameter
      eval(pst, n->true);
		
      // Predicate<Integer> predicate1 = n -> n%2 == 0
      // n is passed as parameter to test method of Predicate interface
      // test method will return true if n%2 comes to be zero
		
      System.out.println("Print even numbers:");
      eval(pst, n-> n%2 == 0 );
		
      // Predicate<Integer> predicate2 = n -> n > 3
      // n is passed as parameter to test method of Predicate interface
      // test method will return true if n is greater than 3.
		
      System.out.println("Print numbers greater than 3:");
      eval(pst, n-> n > 3 );
   }
	
   pubpc static void eval(List<Integer> pst, Predicate<Integer> predicate) {

      for(Integer n: pst) {

         if(predicate.test(n)) {
            System.out.println(n + " ");
         }
      }
   }
}

Java 8 - Default Methods

Java 8 introduces a new concept of default method implementation in interfaces. This capabipty is added for backward compatibipty so that old interfaces can be used to leverage the lambda expression capabipty of Java 8.

For example, ‘List’ or ‘Collection’ interfaces do not have ‘forEach’ method declaration. Thus, adding such method will simply break the collection framework implementations. Java 8 introduces default method so that List/Collection interface can have a default implementation of forEach method, and the class implementing these interfaces need not implement the same.

Syntax

pubpc interface vehicle {

   default void print() {
      System.out.println("I am a vehicle!");
   }
}

Multiple Defaults

With default functions in interfaces, there is a possibipty that a class is implementing two interfaces with same default methods. The following code explains how this ambiguity can be resolved.

pubpc interface vehicle {

   default void print() {
      System.out.println("I am a vehicle!");
   }
}

pubpc interface fourWheeler {

   default void print() {
      System.out.println("I am a four wheeler!");
   }
}

First solution is to create an own method that overrides the default implementation.

pubpc class car implements vehicle, fourWheeler {

   pubpc void print() {
      System.out.println("I am a four wheeler car vehicle!");
   }
}

Second solution is to call the default method of the specified interface using super.

pubpc class car implements vehicle, fourWheeler {

   pubpc void print() {
      vehicle.super.print();
   }
}

Static Default Methods

An interface can also have static helper methods from Java 8 onwards.

pubpc interface vehicle {

   default void print() {
      System.out.println("I am a vehicle!");
   }
	
   static void blowHorn() {
      System.out.println("Blowing horn!!!");
   }
}

Default Method Example

Create the following Java program using any editor of your choice in, say, C:> JAVA.

Java8Tester.java

pubpc class Java8Tester {

   pubpc static void main(String args[]) {
      Vehicle vehicle = new Car();
      vehicle.print();
   }
}

interface Vehicle {

   default void print() {
      System.out.println("I am a vehicle!");
   }
	
   static void blowHorn() {
      System.out.println("Blowing horn!!!");
   }
}

interface FourWheeler {

   default void print() {
      System.out.println("I am a four wheeler!");
   }
}

class Car implements Vehicle, FourWheeler {

   pubpc void print() {
      Vehicle.super.print();
      FourWheeler.super.print();
      Vehicle.blowHorn();
      System.out.println("I am a car!");
   }
}

Verify the Result

Compile the class using javac compiler as follows −

C:JAVA>javac Java8Tester.java

Now run the Java8Tester as follows −

C:JAVA>java Java8Tester

It should produce the following output −

I am a vehicle!
I am a four wheeler!
Blowing horn!!!
I am a car!

Java 8 - Streams

Stream is a new abstract layer introduced in Java 8. Using stream, you can process data in a declarative way similar to SQL statements. For example, consider the following SQL statement.

SELECT max(salary), employee_id, employee_name FROM Employee

The above SQL expression automatically returns the maximum salaried employee s details, without doing any computation on the developer s end. Using collections framework in Java, a developer has to use loops and make repeated checks. Another concern is efficiency; as multi-core processors are available at ease, a Java developer has to write parallel code processing that can be pretty error-prone.

To resolve such issues, Java 8 introduced the concept of stream that lets the developer to process data declaratively and leverage multicore architecture without the need to write any specific code for it.

What is Stream?

Stream represents a sequence of objects from a source, which supports aggregate operations. Following are the characteristics of a Stream −

    Sequence of elements − A stream provides a set of elements of specific type in a sequential manner. A stream gets/computes elements on demand. It never stores the elements.

    Source − Stream takes Collections, Arrays, or I/O resources as input source.

    Aggregate operations − Stream supports aggregate operations pke filter, map, pmit, reduce, find, match, and so on.

    Pipepning − Most of the stream operations return stream itself so that their result can be pipepned. These operations are called intermediate operations and their function is to take input, process them, and return output to the target. collect() method is a terminal operation which is normally present at the end of the pipepning operation to mark the end of the stream.

    Automatic iterations − Stream operations do the iterations internally over the source elements provided, in contrast to Collections where exppcit iteration is required.

Generating Streams

With Java 8, Collection interface has two methods to generate a Stream.

    stream() − Returns a sequential stream considering collection as its source.

    parallelStream() − Returns a parallel Stream considering collection as its source.

List<String> strings = Arrays.asList("abc", "", "bc", "efg", "abcd","", "jkl");
List<String> filtered = strings.stream().filter(string -> !string.isEmpty()).collect(Collectors.toList());

forEach

Stream has provided a new method ‘forEach’ to iterate each element of the stream. The following code segment shows how to print 10 random numbers using forEach.

Random random = new Random();
random.ints().pmit(10).forEach(System.out::println);

map

The ‘map’ method is used to map each element to its corresponding result. The following code segment prints unique squares of numbers using map.

List<Integer> numbers = Arrays.asList(3, 2, 2, 3, 7, 3, 5);

//get pst of unique squares
List<Integer> squaresList = numbers.stream().map( i -> i*i).distinct().collect(Collectors.toList());

filter

The ‘filter’ method is used to epminate elements based on a criteria. The following code segment prints a count of empty strings using filter.

List<String>strings = Arrays.asList("abc", "", "bc", "efg", "abcd","", "jkl");

//get count of empty string
int count = strings.stream().filter(string -> string.isEmpty()).count();

pmit

The ‘pmit’ method is used to reduce the size of the stream. The following code segment shows how to print 10 random numbers using pmit.

Random random = new Random();
random.ints().pmit(10).forEach(System.out::println);

sorted

The ‘sorted’ method is used to sort the stream. The following code segment shows how to print 10 random numbers in a sorted order.

Random random = new Random();
random.ints().pmit(10).sorted().forEach(System.out::println);

Parallel Processing

parallelStream is the alternative of stream for parallel processing. Take a look at the following code segment that prints a count of empty strings using parallelStream.

List<String> strings = Arrays.asList("abc", "", "bc", "efg", "abcd","", "jkl");

//get count of empty string
long count = strings.parallelStream().filter(string -> string.isEmpty()).count();

It is very easy to switch between sequential and parallel streams.

Collectors

Collectors are used to combine the result of processing on the elements of a stream. Collectors can be used to return a pst or a string.

List<String>strings = Arrays.asList("abc", "", "bc", "efg", "abcd","", "jkl");
List<String> filtered = strings.stream().filter(string -> !string.isEmpty()).collect(Collectors.toList());

System.out.println("Filtered List: " + filtered);
String mergedString = strings.stream().filter(string -> !string.isEmpty()).collect(Collectors.joining(", "));
System.out.println("Merged String: " + mergedString);

Statistics

With Java 8, statistics collectors are introduced to calculate all statistics when stream processing is being done.

List numbers = Arrays.asList(3, 2, 2, 3, 7, 3, 5);

IntSummaryStatistics stats = numbers.stream().mapToInt((x) -> x).summaryStatistics();

System.out.println("Highest number in List : " + stats.getMax());
System.out.println("Lowest number in List : " + stats.getMin());
System.out.println("Sum of all numbers : " + stats.getSum());
System.out.println("Average of all numbers : " + stats.getAverage());

Stream Example

Create the following Java program using any editor of your choice in, say, C:> JAVA.

Java8Tester.java

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.IntSummaryStatistics;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Random;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
import java.util.Map;

pubpc class Java8Tester {

   pubpc static void main(String args[]) {
      System.out.println("Using Java 7: ");
		
      // Count empty strings
      List<String> strings = Arrays.asList("abc", "", "bc", "efg", "abcd","", "jkl");
      System.out.println("List: " +strings);
      long count = getCountEmptyStringUsingJava7(strings);
		
      System.out.println("Empty Strings: " + count);
      count = getCountLength3UsingJava7(strings);
		
      System.out.println("Strings of length 3: " + count);
		
      //Epminate empty string
      List<String> filtered = deleteEmptyStringsUsingJava7(strings);
      System.out.println("Filtered List: " + filtered);
		
      //Epminate empty string and join using comma.
      String mergedString = getMergedStringUsingJava7(strings,", ");
      System.out.println("Merged String: " + mergedString);
      List<Integer> numbers = Arrays.asList(3, 2, 2, 3, 7, 3, 5);
		
      //get pst of square of distinct numbers
      List<Integer> squaresList = getSquares(numbers);
      System.out.println("Squares List: " + squaresList);
      List<Integer> integers = Arrays.asList(1,2,13,4,15,6,17,8,19);
		
      System.out.println("List: " +integers);
      System.out.println("Highest number in List : " + getMax(integers));

Java 8 - Optional Class

Optional is a container object used to contain not-null objects. Optional object is used to represent null with absent value. This class has various utipty methods to faciptate code to handle values as ‘available’ or ‘not available’ instead of checking null values. It is introduced in Java 8 and is similar to what Optional is in Guava.

Class Declaration

Following is the declaration for java.util.Optional<T> class −

pubpc final class Optional<T> extends Object

Java 8 - Nashorn JavaScript

With Java 8, Nashorn, a much improved javascript engine is introduced, to replace the existing Rhino. Nashorn provides 2 to 10 times better performance, as it directly compiles the code in memory and passes the bytecode to JVM. Nashorn uses invoke dynamics feature, introduced in Java 7 to improve performance.

jjs

For Nashorn engine, JAVA 8 introduces a new command pne tool, jjs, to execute javascript codes at console.

Interpreting js File

Create and save the file sample.js in c:> JAVA folder.

sample.js

print( Hello World! );

Open console and use the following command.

C:JAVA>jjs sample.js

It will produce the following output:

Java 8 - New Date/Time API

With Java 8, a new Date-Time API is introduced to cover the following drawbacks of old date-time API.

    Not thread safe − java.util.Date is not thread safe, thus developers have to deal with concurrency issue while using date. The new date-time API is immutable and does not have setter methods.

    Poor design − Default Date starts from 1900, month starts from 1, and day starts from 0, so no uniformity. The old API had less direct methods for date operations. The new API provides numerous utipty methods for such operations.

    Difficult time zone handpng − Developers had to write a lot of code to deal with timezone issues. The new API has been developed keeping domain-specific design in mind.

Java 8 introduces a new date-time API under the package java.time. Following are some of the important classes introduced in java.time package.

    Local − Simppfied date-time API with no complexity of timezone handpng.

    Zoned − Speciapzed date-time API to deal with various timezones.

Local Date-Time API

LocalDate/LocalTime and LocalDateTime classes simppfy the development where timezones are not required. Let s see them in action.

Create the following java program using any editor of your choice in, say, C:> JAVA.

Java8Tester.java

import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.LocalTime;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.time.Month;

pubpc class Java8Tester {

   pubpc static void main(String args[]) {
      Java8Tester java8tester = new Java8Tester();
      java8tester.testLocalDateTime();
   }
	
   pubpc void testLocalDateTime() {
      // Get the current date and time
      LocalDateTime currentTime = LocalDateTime.now();
      System.out.println("Current DateTime: " + currentTime);
		
      LocalDate date1 = currentTime.toLocalDate();
      System.out.println("date1: " + date1);
		
      Month month = currentTime.getMonth();
      int day = currentTime.getDayOfMonth();
      int seconds = currentTime.getSecond();
		
      System.out.println("Month: " + month +"day: " + day +"seconds: " + seconds);
		
      LocalDateTime date2 = currentTime.withDayOfMonth(10).withYear(2012);
      System.out.println("date2: " + date2);
		
      //12 december 2014
      LocalDate date3 = LocalDate.of(2014, Month.DECEMBER, 12);
      System.out.println("date3: " + date3);
		
      //22 hour 15 minutes
      LocalTime date4 = LocalTime.of(22, 15);
      System.out.println("date4: " + date4);
		
      //parse a string
      LocalTime date5 = LocalTime.parse("20:15:30");
      System.out.println("date5: " + date5);
   }
}

CurrentZone: Etc/UTC

Chrono Units Enum

java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit enum is added in Java 8 to replace the integer values used in old API to represent day, month, etc. Let us see them in action.

Create the following Java program using any editor of your choice in, say, C:> JAVA.

Java8Tester.java

import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit;

Java 8 - Base64

With Java 8, Base64 has finally got its due. Java 8 now has inbuilt encoder and decoder for Base64 encoding. In Java 8, we can use three types of Base64 encoding.

    Simple − Output is mapped to a set of characters lying in A-Za-z0-9+/. The encoder does not add any pne feed in output, and the decoder rejects any character other than A-Za-z0-9+/.

    URL − Output is mapped to set of characters lying in A-Za-z0-9+_. Output is URL and filename safe.

    MIME − Output is mapped to MIME friendly format. Output is represented in pnes of no more than 76 characters each, and uses a carriage return followed by a pnefeed as the pne separator. No pne separator is present to the end of the encoded output.

import java.util.UUID;
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;

pubpc class HelloWorld {

   pubpc static void main(String args[]) {

      try {
		
         // Encode using basic encoder
         String base64encodedString = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(
            "TutorialsPoint?java8".getBytes("utf-8"));
         System.out.println("Base64 Encoded String (Basic) :" + base64encodedString);
		
         // Decode
         byte[] base64decodedBytes = Base64.getDecoder().decode(base64encodedString);
		
         System.out.println("Original String: " + new String(base64decodedBytes, "utf-8"));
         base64encodedString = Base64.getUrlEncoder().encodeToString(
            "TutorialsPoint?java8".getBytes("utf-8"));
         System.out.println("Base64 Encoded String (URL) :" + base64encodedString);
		
         StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
		
         for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
            stringBuilder.append(UUID.randomUUID().toString());
         }
		
         byte[] mimeBytes = stringBuilder.toString().getBytes("utf-8");
         String mimeEncodedString = Base64.getMimeEncoder().encodeToString(mimeBytes);
         System.out.println("Base64 Encoded String (MIME) :" + mimeEncodedString);

      } catch(UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
         System.out.println("Error :" + e.getMessage());
