The Baeldung Weekly Review 1
I decided to start the year with a new concept for baeldung – a Weekly Review.
I consume a lot of content (via RSS – which is alive and well), and this is a curated list of the best stuff I’ve read this week – a handful of articles that are well worth reading (in no particular order).
On Spring
If you’ve ever seen this message: “Standard JPA does not support custom isolation levels” – than this will definitly be of interest, as it goes over the low level details of creating a custom dialect to deal with changing the isolation level in JPA. I haven’t tried this yet myself, but I’m planning to give it a go soon.
⇒ Using jOOQ with Spring: Configuration
An extensive run-through for setting up the fluent jOOQ with Spring – this is the first of an ongoing series.
On Java
===== ⇒ Java Tuples
I’ve been using Java tuples a lot in recent years, mainly the implementation from commons-lang3 – the Pair and the more recent Triple, as they often provide a clean ad-hoc abstraction. So this is quite an interesting read.
HTTP and REST
An insightful and very useful article going into what REST and the HATEOAS constraint means for client application – and how to spot a well written client from one that treats REST as RPC or plain CRUD over HTTP.
⇒ Strengthening HTTP: A Personal View
This is something that needs to be read back to back if you’re doing any kind of work with/over HTTP. Nuff said.
Technical
A random find over on SVN – but a great read nonetheless – it goes into structuring a benefit plan for the long game.
