JAVA 11 – New String methods

In this blog, we will discuss about all six new methods which got introduced with JDK 11.

  • isBlank(): returns true if string is empty otherwise false. White spaces code will also be considered as empty string.

// Java 8 Predefine Functional Interface
             // The best way to learn JAVA 8 is to implement it wherever you can...
             BiConsumer<String, String> display = (msg1, msg2) -> System.out.println(msg1 + msg2);

             // local variable type inference
             var msg = "Welcome to waheedtechblog page";
             // String msg = "Welcome to waheedtechblog page"; both are same

             // Will return true if string is empty or any white spaces
             if (msg.isBlank()) {
                    display.accept("msg attribute is emty", msg);
             } else {
                    display.accept("1. Hello, ", msg);
             }

String emptyMsg = "";
display.accept("2. Is msg Empty: ", String.valueOf(emptyMsg.isBlank()));

             String whitespacesMsg = "\n\t";
display.accept("2. Is msg empty: ", String.valueOf(whitespacesMsg.isBlank()));
Output:
            1. Hello, Welcome to waheedtechblog page
2. Is msg Empty: true
3. Is msg empty: true

  • lines(): This method returns a stream of lines extracted from the string, separated by line terminators such as \n, \r etc.

            String lineMsg = "Welcome\nto\nwaheedtechblog\npage";
       display.accept("3. Line Msg: \n", lineMsg);
       // line returns streams of line extracted from the String
       List<String> lines = lineMsg.lines().collect(Collectors.toList());
       System.out.println("4. line as list: " + lines);
Output:
       3. Line Msg:
Welcome
to
waheedtechblog
page
4. line as list: [Welcome, to, waheedtechblog, page]

  • repeat(n): This method returns the concatenated string of original string repeated the number of times in the argument.

var repeatMessage = "Welcome";
// returns a new string whose value is the concatenation of this string repeated
             // ‘n’ times.
             display.accept("9. Repeat msg: ", repeatMessage.repeat(5));
Output:
9. Repeat msg: WelcomeWelcomeWelcomeWelcomeWelcome

  • Strip(), StripLeading(),StripTrailing(): These method are used to strip white spaces from the String

                   var stripMsg = "    Welcome to   \t Waheedtechblog page     ";
             display.accept("5. Normal Print: ", "$" + stripMsg + " $");
             // As the name suggests, Strip() methods are used to strip whitespaces from the
             // string.
             display.accept("6. Using Strip(): ", "$" + stripMsg.strip() + "$");
             display.accept("7. Using StripLeading(): ", "$" + stripMsg.stripLeading() + "$");
display.accept("8. Using StripTrailing: ", "$" + stripMsg.stripTrailing() + "$");

Output:
5. Normal Print: $    Welcome to        Waheedtechblog page      $
6. Using Strip(): $Welcome to    Waheedtechblog page$
7. Using StripLeading(): $Welcome to    Waheedtechblog page     $
8. Using StripTrailing: $    Welcome to        Waheedtechblog page$

Happy Coding…!!!

How TOTP Works: Generating OTPs Without Internet Connection

-
Introduction Have you ever wondered how authentication apps like RSA Authenticator generate One-Time Passwords (OTPs) without requiring an internet connection? This fascinating technology is made possible through Time-Based One-Time Passwords (TOTP). In this article, we will explore the mechanics of TOTP, its security features, and why it doesn't rely on the internet at the client-side for generating OTPs. Understanding TOPT 1. TOTP in a Nutshell TOPT, or Time-Based One-Time Password, is a security feature designed to enhance the authentication process. It generates OTPs that are only valid for a short period, typically 30 seconds. TOPT uses a secret key, often shared between the server and the user's device, to generate these OTPs. The central idea is to provide a second factor of authentication, beyond just a static password, to strengthen security. 2. The RSA Authenticator App One popular example of a TOPT implementation is the RSA Authenticator app. This app is commonly use...

OWASP Top 10: A Beginner's Guide

Welcome to the tech world! 🚀 As you start your journey into software development, it's crucial to understand how important security is. The OWASP Top 10 is a list of the most critical security risks for applications. Let's break it down in a simple, beginner-friendly way with real-world examples and tips! 1. Broken Access Control What's happening? Users can access data or functions they shouldn't be able to. Example: Imagine a website where anyone can change another person's profile information just by modifying the URL like: /edit-profile?userId=1234 . Tip: Always check on the server-side if the user is allowed to perform an action! 2. Cryptographic Failures What's happening? Sensitive information like passwords or credit card numbers isn't properly protected. Example: A site stores user passwords in plain text. If hackers get access, they immediately see the passwords! Tip: Always hash passwords using secure algorithms like bcrypt or...

Streaming Spring boot logs to ELK stack

In my previous blog , we have done ELK installation on windows 10 and we have even tried to push messages from input console to Elastic Search and finally viewed on Kibana Server. I will write a separate blog on why do we need ELK? In this blog, I’ll show you how can we push spring boot application log directly to Elastic search using Logstash which we can analyze on Kibana and If you don’t know how to install ELK on windows 10 then you can refer my previous blog and start Elastic Search and Kibana server. Prerequisite Elastic Search and Kibana running on your machine Basic knowledge of Spring boot application If you don’t want to start your application from scratch then you can download one spring boot application from my GitHub repository as well. I am assuming that the Elastic Search and Kibana server are running on your machine and you have a fair idea of how to start the Logstash server and what is Logstash conf file. So, to push spring boot logs cont...
