Testing Spring Boot Rest APIs with Rest-Assured
Creating RESTful APIs with Spring Boot is a straightforward process, making it a popular choice for a variety of applications, from UI to batch processing. The same API created can be used anywhere, whether it’s called from a UI application or batch applications. However, testing these APIs to ensure they work correctly can be challenging. In this article, I’ll introduce …
CopyFlat: Java Recursion in Action
By using Java’s built-in file classes, along with recursion, it turns out to be pretty easy to implement the requirements that I came up! It’s fairly simple to copy a set of files nested inside a directory structure into a new flat directory.
Remember, while you probably aren’t burning your own CDs or cassettes nowadays, there are reasons why the concepts demonstrated here are still relevant. The computer science techniques in this small set of code (such as recursion, threading, and file manipulation) are basic skills all Java programmers should know.
