I know we have a couple of ways to solve this, but I wanted to find the most elegant one.
Let's say we have a file, and after reading X elements we want to do some specific action, and so on.

Let's say X = 3, so:
1
2
3
DoTheAction
4
5
6
DoTheAction
...

What's the best way to achieve that with Stream library? I did the following, but I'm sure it's possible to make a better implementation using Collectors or even the Stream itself...



I also tried to use peak and increment a variable to count the elements, but I can't modify local variables in a lambda expression. I also tried to use count, but it's a terminate operation...

I will appreciate any input!

However more and more companies absorbing HTML5 and jQuery and cloud model. May be next 5 year we will be there.


I agree with you in this part. Sure REST is more suitable for WEB and HTML, JQuery, etc.

Hello,

there's a high criticism to RESTful APIs that are bad designed. For example, I'm right now playing with Steam API (https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_Web_API) and sadly I'm facing some boring situation. The main topics:

- The xml elements from the API that use the key (please see the URL above) are surrounded by a "response" element in XML representation. Why? We all know that is the response...
- The representation of the resource in a page that use the page open API (try http://steamcommunity.com/id/jesuino?xml=1) has two main issues: 1 - representation information in URL and 2 when you access a non-existing account the reponse from server is simply a new representations instead a 404 (try http://steamcommunity.com/id/NO_EXISTING_ACCOUNT?xml=1).

Today we have the Richardson maturity model and a lot of learned lessons from past, but some APIs still born with issues in design.

While we can consume and we have a lot of clients using an API, it will exist even if it has some design issues. A lot has been done in community to spread the real REST principles, but bad designed APIs are consumable and we can build applications using it.

So what is the best motivation big services have to start to create a really RESTful app?

Sure we can list some advantages of using RESTful, but seems sometimes some RESTful APIs creators think like "it's working as it it,so let's keep this way"

Hello!

I currently use RESTEasy as my JAX-RS implementation. Before it I used Jersey.

For me RESTEasy is the best implementation:

- Powerful client API;
- Interceptors;
- Code easy to read and understand.

But it's been a few years without touch any other JAX-RS implementation. I looked for some comparisson between all implementations and I found it:

but it's old


What is your favorite JAX-RS implementation? Why?

Hello,

Welcome Mark Masse! Good to know we will discuss RESTful this week, I like RESTful and it will be good discuss and watch some good discussions about it.

Hello!

I'm a "RESTful fan" and I have been working and studing it since RESTful WebServices book, which I believe was the book that marks the start of the "RESTful popularization".

Again about RESTful enterprise. Do you believe that REST WS will someday dominate enterprise world?

I mean, I know that REstful WS are now being used in a lot of enterprise products, but we don'thave something like WSRP for REST instead using SOAP (for example).

I also heard about REST-*, something like that, that would the equivalent of the WS-* patterns, but for REST, but it was not very popular (Roy didn't liked that, so the community...)

I also knows that we have books focused in REST real world applications (e.g. REST in Practice), but I still see that the adoption of REST in this field is not very huge as expected.

Developers still likes the stateful model(and rest is entirely stateless) with session, etc,etc

Welcome Bill!

Your book seems great for guys like me which need to use SQL with good practices and to keep the quality of my SQL scripts. Thanks .

Oh, the future of JavaFX is WEB, desktop and Mobile.

Are you a Java programmer? Do you want implements some Java applications with a beautiful look without quit Java World or use another framework? So JavaFX is the Solution!

JavaFX Rules!

Hi,

We can say that the only bridge between Java and Flex is the Framework BlazerDS?

Sorry for my question if incoveniente, cause i just hearing about BlazerDS and Exadel Flamingo Framework.

BTW, is javaFX a straight adversary to flex? The tools to Java - Flex is more limited than JavaFX - Java?

Best Regards

Tiled world can be done with the Tile layout and you can scroll it with a ClipView.



I'm speaking about a API like GTGE:

http://www.goldenstudios.or.id/products/GTGE/index.php

GTGE encapsulates some game programming techniques, so you just need worry with your game not with technical aspects from the language used!

You can also plug in a physics engine like JBox2D or Phys2D, etc.
Just don't expect to do 3D games yet.



I was talking about an engine that brings methods and abstractions from the world of games, such as:

- Tiled World
- Character
- Enemy
-...


I was building a cluster of classes that allow this abstraction, but my skills and time does not allow me to move on! I hope one day to finish my project!

From Pentaho's Site:

"Broad data source support including packaged applications, over 30 open source and proprietary database platforms, flat files, Excel documents, and more"

But I don't know if we can have two database or more working on the same time...




I already use GWT on my projects, i didn't knew that Pentaho use GWT! Nice!

Thanks!
