Hi Adam!
What do you recommend for running a Java program as a windows service?
I found Java Service wrapper and WinSW, do you have experience with any of those?
Thank you
Hello,
How can we propose new features to the Java language ?
For instance something I'd like to see so I can remove Lombok completely is the ability to build a record giving component values by name, ie:
var myRecord = new MyRecord(
name = "Duke",
age = 42
);
The produced bytecode doesn't even need to change but I've found with javascript/typescript that named parameter leave less margin for errors and offers better experience when refactoring (remove or add components)
My current practice is to use Lombok builders but even there, the compiler doesn't help you if you missed a component.
Hello Adam! Are there any tools you are using to generate architecture diagrams from your code? Have you come across https://www.structurizr.com/ or can you recommend something?
Hello Adam,
WASM peeked my attention again and one of the key feature it has is the ability to limit a module external endpoint (ie: the functions you give access to the module).
Is there such feature around Java like loading a JAR dynamically (this I know is possible with class loaders) but limiting heavily the classes it may load or the methods it may call ?
If instead of full servers, we could just have managed running JVMs that could load a JAR for this request, call its methods and then dispose of it, it could be made a efficient Java FaaS platform.
